How to fix slow leaking Caroma toilet?

[Richard216]

Hi the model number for the toilet is 27530       1.

There is a slow leak and the bottom inlet valve doesn't seem to sealing.  Should I replace it or call a plumber?

Hello @Richard216 

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community. It's wonderful to have you join us, and thank you for sharing your question about your toilet.

I'm sorry but I can't find a reference to the number you've provided. Would it be possible for you to post a photo of the inside of the cistern so that we can see what type of flushing system and inlet valve you have? Once we see the parts of your toilet, we can provide recommendations on how to repair it.

Hello @Richard216 

Thank you for sharing that extra photo and information about your cistern leak. If after flushing and the water inlet valve continues to function and does not shut off even after the float reaches maximum height, odds are the washer for the inlet valve must be replaced. If the water stops after reaching maximum height and you hear water entering the pan like a dripping flush, it's possible that it could be flushing sealer.

I suggest having a look at this guide - How to fix a leaking toilet. Step four will show you how to fix your Fluidmaster inlet valve. I suggest starting with the inlet valve and if you still hear leaking you can proceed to the flushing unit. The replacement of the flushing washer is also shown in the general guide of how to fix a leaking toilet. 

If you need further assistance, please let us know.
