Next topic! I'm getting on with stuff today.
Toilet flush:
The cistern never really gets full and the valve never fully switches off. I've poked around and it seems that the bit that the ball float pushes into to stop the cistern filling is sticking. What's that called? Inlet valve? Diaphragm?
It's a ball valve type with handle operation. Bottom fill via a copper pipe. Pic attached.
Can I replace just the inlet valve / diaphragm? I've found a page stocking a bewildering array of diaphragms (here) and inlet valves (here), but I haven't a clue which one to choose.
Or is it better to replace the whole mechanism? If so, which mechanism should I choose? Seems to be a bewildering array of these too!
