    I'm not sure what happened but the cisterns on two of the toilets in my house now take forever to fill. It's slowed to just a drip. Will I have to replace or are there some adjustments I can make?

    Could be a screen for catching particles on the inlet side of the float is blocked. Could you put up a pic of whats inside cistern? Not a big job to sort out.

    My problem with the cistern/toilet is that there is a constant flow of water into the bowl. It is about 3-4 years old, a small cistern with a top that is opened with an allen key. There isn't one of the old traditional type ballcocks but there is a blue plunger like device that seems to be the problem. It's doing my head in flowing all day and night. Any help appreciated.:(

    Filler valve most likely not shutting off. The overflow into the toilet is a safety feature. Easy enough. Post a pic.
