Toilet Filling Slowly
23 Answers
Wondering if anyone can help advise on anything that I can try later.
It is filling but very slowly, more like a light hissing kind of sound and none of the usual noise when the cistern refills after flushing.
To use it again quite soon after first flushing it means having to fill it with water from the tap to allow it to flush. I have bowel conditions so often need to use it again quickly.
Is there anything anyone can suggest to try? Parts have been replaced twice in it for the push down flush not working but it is working now, just can't use it until it refills or I refill it manually.
Thanks for any help.

Looks like the link says it all .. most of these modern small cisterns have a fittings pack included when they are supplied. The fitting are usually from an unknown source (that's why you can buy a whole toilet for £50).
They usually work for a few years then give up ... but you often can't buy spares for them, because you can't identify them.
That's why I always ditch the fitting supplied and install a globally known named brand. You can always get spares if needed at a later date ... I just stick with Fluidmaster.
Infact if you do go to the length of replacing the inlet valve I would do the flush valve at the same time ... as a pack they are cheap as chips !

Eve if you do separate the valve and clean it .. be careful putting the washer back and watch out for the pin.
With this valve it only takes a flake of scale to block it !
