How do I go about replacing a toilet water valve?

Why does toilet water go down but doesn't flush properly?

Toilet water may go down slowly or not flush properly due to clogs in the pipes, a malfunctioning flapper or flush valve, or insufficient water pressure. These issues can prevent the proper flow of water needed to effectively flush the toilet.

What part of a toilet tank is the supply valve for water?

The 'fill valve' is the one on the right side of toilet that has a pipe underneath running to a small valve on the floor or wall. These often go faulty. Not worth trying to fix it - new ones are cheap and easy to fit.

Why won't the toilet water go down even though it's not clogged?

The toilet water may not be going down because there could be a problem with the toilet's flushing mechanism or the water level in the tank. It's possible that the flapper valve is not opening properly, the chain is tangled, or the water level in the tank is too low. Checking and fixing these issues may help the water to go down properly.

Fix or Replace the Toilet?

Most consider toilet repair easier than replacement. However, many things need to be considered before deciding whether or not to fix or replace it. A toilet has a base, tank, seat, lid, flush handle and water line on the outside. Inside the tank are a fill valve that controls the incoming water and a flapper valve that controls water going from the tank to the bowl when the flush handle is pressed. Most tanks are attached to the base with two bolts and washers. Toilet repair usually begins when the flapper valve leaks water from the tank to the bowl, and it causes the tank to keep refilling though no one has flushed the toilet. Many times it is just the chain that lifts the flapper valve getting caught or twisted. This is a 30 second toilet repair. Replacing the flapper valve only requires cleaning the surface it closes on and 30 seconds to replace the flapper with a new one. Replacing the inlet valve is another toilet repair that only takes about 15 minutes for a novice who can follow written instructions. An inlet valve needs replaced when obvious leaking is spotted or a simple adjustment of the float assembly does not stop the water from overfilling the tank. It is a more involved task to replace the rubber washers and bolts where the tank meets the base, but it is still a job that can be tackled by a novice who can read and follow written instructions included with the parts. The main concern of replacing most any component of a toilet is over tightening and breaking the tank or base. If a toilet looks bad or a new design is desired, it still can be replaced by a novice. If the floor around the toilet is solid with no signs of rotting due to leakage, and if the toilet flange is intact, it takes about an hour for a novice to replace the toilet. Without a toilet jack to lower a toilet onto the wax ring that seals the toilet to the toilet flange, it is important to have two other helpers. Two are needed to slowly lower the toilet with the attached wax ring onto the flange while the other watches from floor level to be certain of the alignment of wax ring to toilet flange. Go slow and do not over tighten parts and that toilet can be new or good as new in no time.

Why won't the toilet flapper go down?

The toilet flapper may not go down due to a blockage in the flapper valve, a problem with the chain or handle, or issues with the water level in the tank. It is important to check these components and make necessary adjustments or repairs to ensure proper functioning of the toilet.

That device is called the refill tube. This allows water to go down the overflow tube to refill the water closet bowl while the tank is filling.

How do you turn pressure down at toilet flush valve?

If you adjust it and raise the water level too much water may run over into the overflow tube and it will just keep running. If you lower it too much your toilet may not flush completely. Generally I adust mine as high as they will go without overflowing in order to get a stronger flush. I have never needed or wanted to turn down a flush.

What is the purpose of a bidet T valve and how does it function in a bidet system?

The purpose of a bidet T valve is to control the flow of water in a bidet system. It functions by splitting the water supply into two directions, allowing one stream to go to the bidet nozzle for cleaning and the other to go to the toilet tank for refilling. This helps regulate water pressure and temperature in the bidet system.

What should you do to prevent toilet from overflowing when water is turned on after being turned off for eight hours?

There should be no reason the toilet would overflow. The water being turned off should have no effect on it. As long as the drain is clear even if the shut off valve in the tank didn't work, the water will just go down the drain.
