Wasn't sure which was half and full flush and this with demonstration answered my question and was generally very informative. Need small fingers for half flush! Thank you!
Cheers for that. My flush valve is sticking and I needed to know how to remove the unit. Not gonna lie it, wasn’t a simple turn and click! One squashed thumb and it eventually came loose.
That fillvalve is made by wirquin not fluidmaster. Could be branded fluidmaster but in my country those inlet valves are branded wirquin you should check their flush valves their are far better quality that that fluidmaster valve and the wirquin flush valves have that special spanner tool included with the product. And they come in two different size outlets that makes it universal.
I fitted exactly the same Fluidmaster flush valve about three years ago, but recently the button, which in my case is mounted on the lid, has stopped popping back up after a full flush. It always pops up after a half flush.
i dont think so. they usually connect with a nut underneath ? a big nut tho. sometimes the maker supplies a plastic spanner that fits, often not. newer ones maybe have an alternative easier method. ?? not sure what im saying ...
Poor design from a previously trusted company. Mine ends each flush with a loud bang (not water hammer). Fluidmaster had no idea how to solve - said play with the adjusters. Even if that helped (doesn't), then I would be sacrificing water saving to solve the design problem.
With hindsight I find the 'flush' too strong, meaning the water in the bowl can get pretty wild (i.e. embarrassing splashes). For that reason I have changed to another type of valve. I couldn't find a way to control the power of the flush.
I'm thinking it might be to do with the flow rate. How much water gets through per time. Probably how big the opening is. Some flush valves give a flow rate.
+Gordon Southgate It's "dual flush". That means that you press the big button to say "bon voyage" to a number 2 or the little inset button to flush a number one ;-)
'Replace again and again' ? Our traditional syphon has been in, trouble free for around 45 years. Would rather repair this when the time comes, than buy this new modern crap !
Nice one man!! Was looking how to replace the flush valve without having to take the cistern off the pan.. you're the only video that shows it. Cheers

Your delivery is very restful, and the information in the video was helpful. Thank you.
Thanks exactly what i was looking for...i.e. can the main valve unit be removed without disconnecting all of it..
Helps a lot. Thanks for your video. I think you can take the collar off that flush button on the outside.
Our toilet valve seems to stick a bit on the short flush and leaving water constantly running until you keep playing with the button
On my Fluidmaster Dual Flush valve the top is black and I have to twist the body in a clockwise direction (and jiggle a bit) to release it.
Cheers for that upload, I'll let you know how it goes

good video, gonna change my system at the end of the week to this one as it is a bit temperamental

Your video just saved me lots of time...thank you
How do you take the flush valve seal off this siphon?
Brilliant video, thank you
Do you know the model number of this product?
Cheers pal, helped me out a lot.
Do i need to take the cistern of if I wanna replace the flush valve?
i dont think so. they usually connect with a nut underneath ? a big nut tho. sometimes the maker supplies a plastic spanner that fits, often not. newer ones maybe have an alternative easier method. ?? not sure what im saying ...
Lol. No worries . Got it sorted .
Thanks a lot to you video.

The fill valve is a wigguwan not fluid master
Nice one, well explained

Is this anything to do with the particular setup of the cistern as all it is doing is releasing water, no different from any other product?

5 gallons wasted water
