    Hey folks
    Some advice would be appreciated. The cistern is one where you push the button on top. When the toilet flushes the cistern then starts to fill but water continues to flow slightly into the bowl. It seems to stop once cistern fills again. Would like to stop it as dont want to be wasting water. Any ideas?

    Thanks

    The flusher is not sitting down properly, if you press the button you should find there is no restriction/back pressure on the button. I have the same problem from time to time. I normally just keep pressing the button until I feel a restriction, which is the flusher pushing against the button. I find it happens if the button is released slowly after flushing causing the flusher inside not to sit down properly to seal against the rubber on the cistern outlet.
