Flushing toilet getting harder

Aug 08, 2006 4 Replies

Hi,I've installed a new toilet which has a concealed cistern with a pus



button flush.When new (only 2 weeks ago) the button slid in very easil and popped out again quickly.Now the kids are having problems gettin it to flush and it's taking longer for the button to 'pop' out.Wha would be the best to 'lubricate' the button? bearing in mind its only plastic case with a rubber plunger to compress the air to make th toilet flush.

Washing up liquid is the best thing I tried. You need to renew every 6 months or so.

Fairy Liquid?

Is that why it's named after an erstwhile perversion?

Personally if I'd have swallowed quick setting conctrete, I'd take caustic (S word) rather than be submissive to the fairies for six months.

Odd. What happened to the deviate's post?

Ah, now I know. He is a top.

Silicone grease from a plumbers merchant or window rubber spray from a motor factors should do.

cheers, Pete.

Thnaks for replys,I contacted manufacturer (Macdee) and they said a rubber gasket was obviously hardening they would send a ne one.Complete unit arrived next day - bonus!
