    Hi

    My cistern has started taking about 30 minutes to fill. It is push button one with no ballcock.

    I’ve opened it up and the water is hissing from the valve. I assume I can just pick up a replacement valve/washer in chadwicks.

    But just wanted to check in here and see if I’m on the right track.


    Thanks

    Try turning off the water, opening the valve and see if it's dirty / got debris in it. If it is, clean it out and put it back together and see how quick it fills.

    Thanks. Just had a look. Seems to be a small tear in the rubber washer so will pick one up
