I had water coming out of my toilet overflow. The plumber I hire
changed the washer at my suggestion. However the toilet then made noise when flushed so he took out the old style plastic float bal valve and installed a fluid master. This caused banging in the pipe (reduced the flow with the stop c*ck to reduce this) and after he' left there was a leak from the toilet cistern! This didn't fill me wit confidence so I hired another plumber.The second plumber installed Torbeck valve but without the high pressure flow restrictor. I stil need the flow turned down too low otherwise at the end of the flus cycle not only do I get water hammer it also leaks slightly from th stop c*ck. Even with the flow restricted I still have to hold the ar of the Torbeck valve down at the end of the flush cycle to preven water hammer. HELP !!!
1)I suspect that the water pressure maybe high (but I'm not sure). Do need to find out if this is the case before hiring a fresh plumber so can advise him about this so he can put the right valve in the cistern If I need to find out if the water is high pressure how do I do this? 2)What valve do I need ? Should I insist on the old plastic ball styl valve ? Or can anyone advise on exactly what type of valve I need ? I fact should I buy the valve before getting the plumber to ensure th right one gets fitted ? 3)How do I find a reliable good plumber the first was recommended by local plumbers' merchants. The second was registered with the Institu of plumbers. Any Advice gratefully received.Thank
