Odd noise when toilet flushing
Odd noise when toilet flushingI've noticed an odd sound coming from the loo when its flushed. It sounds like a sudden groan or mild roar when the flush handle is first 'yanked' and the cistern empties.
Am I right in thinking it's something to do with the thing that releases the cistern water in to the bowl, the green thing in the picture attached ('wait a minute, you're taking pictures of the loo now???') Is there a seal or washer on the way out, somewhere? And why's the inside stained llike that? The water is clear when it flushes. As always, grateful for any advice. Thanks Mark

Re: Odd noise when toilet flushingHi Mark, it could be the washer on the inlet valve (ballcock), this can make a racket when they start to deteriorate, you could try turning the water off, then flush the loo and see if the noise occours!.
As for the stains, its probably down to the damp enviroment in the upper part of the cistern, quite normal and nothing to worry about!.. I am old and wise, because I was young and stupid!.
Re: Odd noise when toilet flushingIf there is a seal in there, it is probably him/her groaning.

I have only just got that , you realise I was going to go out and buy a tuit for the repairs box? Re: Odd noise when toilet flushing would love to have been a fly on the wall when you went to bee n'q to ask for it! I remember working in a shoe shop when I was a youngster and being sent for a left handed shoe horn

Well since they tried to sell me a wooden bath mat as a shower raiser kit I really don't think they would have got the joke either Re: Odd noise when toilet flushing that would've been even funnier!
