How to fix a toilet leak in a couple of minutes

The toilet tank may leak, which can be seen by the characteristic ripples of water in the bowl. The leak is usually not critical, but since it never stops, cubic meters of water just drain down the drain in a month. Therefore, the problem needs to be solved. Often it is not necessary to change the internal fittings of the tank, but it is enough to service the toilet by doing just 2 simple things.

The process of repairing a leaking toilet cistern

The first step is to remove the tank lid, turn off the water supply and press drain. After this, you need to remove the drain fittings on which the button is located. To do this, you need to grab it with your hand and make half a turn counterclockwise.

Now you need to remove the fittings and wash the rubber seal located on it below from plaque.

It is also necessary to unscrew the plastic mount from the tank in which it is fixed. The ceramic underneath is cleaned of plaque.

After this, the plastic fastener is screwed into place and the drain is snapped onto it. It is also necessary to change the adjustment of the side-mounted filling fittings with a float.Perhaps it is simply drawing more water into the tank than the drain level allows.

To do this, you need to lower it one division down.

After cleaning and adjustment, water will not be able to ooze under the seal and accumulate above the level of the drain tube.

This will help eliminate the leak. This method almost always helps, except for cases when the seals have simply become stiff and no longer fit without gaps. Then only replacing them will help.
