The toilet valve is an important part connecting the water tank and the toilet. When the toilet valve is not working properly, the toilet is prone to water leakage or poor drainage. If you find the above two situations in the toilet, it may be because the toilet valve is not properly adjusted. Next, let's introduce the adjustment method of toilet valve.
1. Check the fault of toilet valve.
Before adjustment, you must first check the fault of the toilet valve. Usually, the faults of toilet valves are divided into the following two categories:
(1) Low water pressure: If the water pressure on the floor where the household is located is low, it will affect the normal operation of the toilet valve.
(2) Blockage: If the filter screen at the bottom of the toilet valve is covered with dust, fiber and other substances, the valve will not be closed normally.
2. Adjust the water level of the toilet valve
First, you need to open the lid of the water tank with a tool, and then find the water level adjusting screw. This screw is usually next to the valve and is used to adjust the water level. Lowering the screw counterclockwise can reduce the water level, and raising the screw clockwise can increase the water level. When adjusting the water level, we should pay attention to prevent the water level from being too high or too low. Too high water level will lead to water overflow, and too low water level will lead to insufficient pressure.
3. Adjust the water injection time of the toilet valve
The filling time of the toilet valve refers to the time when the water in the water tank flows into the toilet. If the filling time is too short, it will lead to insufficient water intake, which will make the toilet drain poorly; If the filling time is too long, it will waste water resources. Therefore, it is necessary to adjust the filling time appropriately according to the actual situation. The filling time is usually adjusted by pressing the valve (lever or touch) in the water tank.
4. Clean the toilet valve
If the toilet valve is seriously blocked, it is necessary to remove the valve first and carefully clean the filter inside. If the fluororubber gasket is aged and hardened, it needs to be replaced in time. The replacement operation of the gasket is very simple, just unscrew it and replace it.
In short, if there is something wrong with the toilet valve, you can try to adjust it first, if not, then consider replacing the valve. If you have no relevant technical experience, it is best to ask professionals to carry out maintenance.
