How easy and simple it is to solve the problem of sinking the toilet flush button. An effective time-tested method.

Button retraction in the down position - This is enough common problem, faced by the owners of toilets equipped with a push-type flush mechanism.

The problem usually occurs periodically and it is not always possible to notice this during the time.

As a result, several more problems arise:

• water consumption increases, and these are unnecessary costs;
• condensation forms on the tank;
• rusty smudges appear in the toilet bowl.

Each time watching the button and forcibly returning it to its original position is, of course, not rewarding.

And why?

After all, this problem there is a very simple solution. Which one? Consider below.

To eliminate the sinking of the button, the first step is to get to the fittings of the drain system.

To do this, unscrew the toilet flush button counterclockwise.

Then you need to remove the button and remove the tank cap.

At the top of the drainage mechanism there is a part similar in shape to boot. When you press the button, she presses the flush mechanism, and the water goes down from the tank to the toilet.

It is the design features of this boot that lead to the sinking of the button.

To fix them, the boot must be removed.

This requires press the groovesin which it is held, by hand or with a screwdriver.

The boot itself consists of two elements:

• frame with two slots and
• an inner movable sleeve, on which spikes (projections) are located on both sides.

One thorn - guiding, and second - fixing.

The fixing spike is responsible for preventing the sleeve from falling out of the frame.

But sometimes it is he who prevents the button from rising to its original position.

The problem is solved very simply.

Using a clerical knife, you need to cut off the fixing spike and sand the surface.

Now the sleeve will move freely inside the boot and there will be no more problems with pressing the button.
