Toilet cistern repair in 5 seconds. No need to call a plumber

Today we addressed a problem the toilet cistern is not filled with water, this is a common case and I wanted to solve it remotely by phone. To do this, the hostess had to remove the lid, and before that unscrew the button that held her, but the woman failed.

Holidays, not holidays, but I had to go and help out. It turned out to be a trifle, as expected, the float of the inlet valve is stuck in the upper position and the water is blocked. It was enough push down and the mechanism works. Anyone can do it, no plumber is needed here!

This is often due to dirt in the tank, it can be cleaned and the problem will disappear. I'll leave a link below how to do it.

Other reasons

Also, water may not enter the tank if the filter, which is installed inside the threaded tube body, is clogged.

It is enough to remove it and rinse it well, then put everything in place, the main thing is not to forget to turn off the water before that. If all of the above does not help, and water normally reaches the inlet valve, then it is broken and requires replacement.

Most often (60–70%) you will come across the first option, when the float gets stuck, now you know what to do and do not have to wait for the master, especially on holidays.

Many will be outraged that he described commonplace and well-known things, but, unfortunately, as practice has shown, this is not so.
