Shires CC Cistern

[Alek]

Can anybody offer suggestions on how to "Tweak" the flush settings on a Shires Close Coupled WC. It is a split button type (Short/Long Flush) with a bottom fill. I had the misfortune to remove the Flush Button in order to facilitate the droping of a Blue Block of some kind and the "Simple" refitting of the Flush Button turned out to be anything but !! Eventually I had to Lower the adjustable frame which straddles the flush valve but this has resulted in a somewhat insipid flush... ?

I'll have a go, these are the type I have some experience with:

Can you see a small plastic block like thing, on the valve body? if so then this is the small float and is used for adjusting the small flush, its normally white and it clips to a plastic arm. You should be able to slide the float up and down the plastic arm adjusting the flush. The small float should be 2cm below water level.

If your water level is too low you need to adjust that with the grey bolt on the inlet valve

Think yourself lucky you haven't just completely totalled your toilet pan which I just did trying to install the thing cutting my hand in the process. The pan looked like there had been a shark attack in it according to the mrs, oh what a night...........

HTH
