Calling All Plumbers !

    Hi Guys,

    I have an issue. Had an airlock in plumbing system. I cracked a joint in hot water press and relased the trapped air. Everything is back working except toilet in ensuite isn't filling up ? Thought this was on same feed as the ensuite taps ? And these taps are working no bother.

    Any tips on how I could fix this ??

    Cheers.

    Did you open the cistern ballcock to see if there is dirt stuck in it?

    Yip there is no dirt in the cistern.

    I went as far as disconnecting the cistern from the pipe comming out of the ground and there is no water comming out of the pipe in the ground.

    The joint that you can turn the screw 90 degrees (sorry don't know the name !? :confused:) is deffo on the 'open' position and there is no water comming out of it !
