Ask the Question

We have a toilet cistern that fills itself up all the time. I have been told by a plumber that it will do this because of the type of toilet it is and wanted to find out if that's true or am I being spun a line.

The toilet has no external overflow pipe but overflows into the bowl. Now that I get and understand. But there is a constant trickle of water running into the bowl and every 15mins or so my cistern refills. Surely that's not right?

Any help much appreiciated.

So..... how do I unspin the line.

What needs replacing/fixing?

Either the water level or the bits in the middle need adjusting.

There are a lot of American style cisten insides on the market at the moment and they are a pig to get just right.

Whatever its against the law to waste water in this way, apart from the fact you could be paying for it if your on a meter

Cheers scruff. Thankfully I'm in Scotland so don't pay water through a meter but still alot of water being wasted. I'll get back onto the plumber and ask him to finish the job.
