Toilet slow flush

Patrick2010

Can anyone recommend a plumber in the Dublin 14 area? Issue looks to be with the plunger part, need to crank the handle to get a decent flush. Ballcock is fine, water level is fine after flush.

You might be able to tackle this one yourself and save a few quid. It's likely that the plastic yoke in the plunger/siphon has cracked. Cranking it a few times will work until plastic gets further cracked and then this won't work either.

Plastic yoke is about €3 in Woodies or any other hardware shop. Or you can make your own out of a strong plastic using the old one as a template.

The removal of the plunger mechanism can be as easy as sliding it out - depending on your cistern set up.

I've done this job numerous times and I'm not particularly handy around the house.

Edit: this fella on YouTube shows how easy it is.
