Question 1

1answer

Kohler santa rosa fills, shuts off, a little water leaks from tank, toilet refills and repeats the leakage into the drain.

There is a rubber seal at the bottom of the flush valve that covers the openning at the bottom of the tank. If this rubber seal has perished slightly then it will leak water into the toilet bowl. This rubber seal need to be replaced to form a proper seal to prevent water leak.

FIXING A TOILET THAT WILL NOT FLUSH!!! a simple but very effective money saving...

This simple how to, is based upon most lever operated toilets, with the cistern mounted above the toilet bowl. The make and model of toilet used for this feature is of the following:
Toilet and internal syphon
DUDLEY ELITEDudley S7 Cascade syphon
Problem:
My toilet will not flush, but the ball float valve is working and there is water in the cistern; no leaks present and the flushing lever is not broken or disconnected, what do I do?
Answer:
first isolate the water to the toilet or the main water supply to the house. Bail out the water from the cistern using a small jug or cup, (or you can syphon the water manually using a hosepipe or similar pipe, a towel to cover your mouth, and either a bucket or the toilet bowl) and remove water from the bottom of the cistern with a sponge.

Changing the syphon in a toilet that is not close coupled is far easier as you do not need to remove the cistern from the wall!

Undo the lower of the two large nuts beneath the cistern using a large pipe wrench or pair of water pump pliers, now disconnect the flush pipe and push it to one side.
Place a bucket or bowl beneath the cistern and undo the Nut which is immediately below the cistern (syphon replacing nut), some water may be released by the syphon, take note of any washers that are removed as new ones need fitting when replacing the siphon.
Unhook the lift rod from the flushing lever and remove the syphon.

Inside the toilet syphon, there will be a small plastic piece of sheet called a diaphragm; you can fabricate a replacement using the plastic title cover on a DVD case. Cut this to the exact same size and shape as the original part, and fit this to where the original diaphragm was. This is your new replacement.

Refitting is a complete reversal of removal, be sure to fit any washers (preferably new ones) that you have taken out. Ensure everything is tight but do not over tighten before refilling the cistern

Tank to bowl leaks

Turn water supply line of to toilet. Flush and hold handle down to drain water from tank. Take lid of tank off and use a towel to soak up the rest of the water inside tank. Remove nuts on bottom of Tank bolts. Lift off and lay down on its side. Remove the rubber or sponge type gasket that is on bottom of the tank that covers the nut from standpipe assembly. Buy new gasket and install back on bottom of tank over Nut for standpipe. Put tank back on toilet bowl. Install bolts and tighten. reconnect water line and turn on.

Tank empties on flush but bowl doesn't empty. eventually only water very slowly empties from bowl. Brand new

Unless there is some packing material or protective film that you failed to remove it is more likely to be a problem with your home drainage system than the toilet itself.
It could be debris from removal of the previous toilet, a wad of toilet paper or other stuff partly blocking a pipe.
Before doing anything else get outside and open up the man-hole covers. Throw a bucket full of water down and see how quickly it drains away. - if it runs well then the problem is likely to be a blockage somewhere between the toilet and the drain cover.
I would suggest uninstalling the toilet bowl to make access easier then rodding it through with drain rods - you can usually hire these quite cheaply but they are only about £15 - £20 to buy a set in the UK.

My toilet is a duravit 1930 series model with Euro style push flusher rather than handle. Internal flushing mechanism is not traditional float ball. toilet water constantly leaks from tank into bowl...

A fairly easy ( but messy ) fix - get a replacement tank to bowl gasket and bolt kit, shut off water supply, drain tank, remove bolts ( you might have to cut, depending on your water source and minerals in your water). Remove old gasket and clean surface with 00 grade steel wool. Replace gasket, install new bolts, remount tank.
Good luck!!

Water leaking on floor...when flush..no urine water

Before you flush the toilet, take the top cover off the tank.
Then flush.. Sometimes water sprays from the float valve,
sprays up against the underside of the cover, then runs down
the back of the toilet.

All my best to you.

I have the bellevue model and it keeps running even when the toilet has been flushed. It continuely seems to need more water and leaks a bit of water all of the time. It is a new toilet!

Your flapper is not sealing at the bottom of the tank. You can either return the toilet, replace the flapper, or try smearing a little vaseline on the underside of the flapper lip where it contacts the tank bottom. The latter may be all it needs to seal a tiny leak.

Saniplus motor (flushing noise) keeps repeating

I believe you have a problem with a leak. The pump is filling back up. See is the water is leaking out somewhere. Hopefully, you don't have a leak under the house. The water coming into the pump is going somewhere when it comes on.

Howto install an auto detergent dispenser onto existing toilet ci

"Fluidmaster" makes a device that clips onto the tank and dispenses a solution into the bowl at each fill after a flush.
It goes inline with the tube runing from the fill valve, and dumps into the flush valve which goes into the bowl when filling.

Most LOWES carries them.
These are better than the ones that release the chemical into the tank because the chemical never has a chance of causing corrosion and failure of the tank to bowl seals.

Water leaks from toilets are common on the seal behind the pan. Have a look where the pipe runs from the cistern to the back of the pan. There is a rubber flange gasket which fits over the spout on the back of the pan. These are common to split. The toilet will leak normally when you flush it. After flushing, the leak stops.

Thanks Steve for the info ,re leaking caravan toilet. The seal you mention is most likely the problem ,but I don't know how to remove the plastic cover over the cisten
Steve F Mar 14, 2016

Hi Norman, sorry, I have had trouble signing in. Have a look down the sides of the toilet for screws etc or under the back of the seat may be a couple of thumb screws / nuts which lift the seat off and allow access to the rear of the pan. I wasn't aware it was a caravan toilet so I imagine they may be quiet different to a normal toilet but cistern pipe to pan should be pretty much the same.
