Hi All,
Need advise.

My inno toilet tank water is leaking into the bowl,
the flush system is center push type,
I dont think I could replace the flapper/valve easily (the plastics looked fragile)

is it possible to replace the water tank only ???
*
If it is the center push type, I think you can just replace the entire plastic flush assembly, if you can find one that fits. Seen a lot of them at big hardware shops. But they are all 'standard' size, if yours is a designer non-standard type, may have to go back to agent to buy.

Just unscrew the whole thing out of the tank, and run around see if someone can sell you one.

Before that, you may want to try this -
Look into the water cistern
right at the bottom of the center flush assembly, where it connects to the bowl, you will see a piece of black rubber washer.
Remove the entire flush assembly, it should be just a twist n pull action needed.
Then clean the piece of rubber washer and fit back the flush assembly.
Usually there is dirt gathered below the washer, causing water to leak into the bowl.

Oic. Best is to get a plumber to take a look easier. Hard to ascertain what's the real issue

That depend what kind of leaking. If the whole WC is replace, that is a serious crack leaking. Sure it is more expensive than 2pcs type.

From nomoredfox question, it seems like water is leaking out to the bow from the flush mechanism. So it is probably the rubber seal or anything.

So is he want to replace the whole tank just because the seal flush problem?

In condo/apartment you may not be an relocated, cause due to PVC went pipe can't relocated then your Wc cannot move to other place... For that pipe is sharing whole building from roof top to ground... Anyway even buy new toilet bowl also have to measure that distance from wall to S-Pipe of internal center from toilet bowl.

In the market have 2 size only (150mm or 200mm max then the rest need to used adaptor)

Bigger size of toilet, does not an issue, some swing door can't fixe and go with bi-fold type.. I think don't have much choice to stick back with smaller size of toilet blow only

guys,

need to ask something.

during renovation time, when the contractor actually change your WC/install a new WC, do you actually allow them to use it since they need to do their business while renovating your house?

If you don't allow, then what do you do? Where are they gonna do their business? I've been pondering on this ever since my renovation started.

no kidding man. But I don't want them to "open ceremony" my NEW WC before me wor? HOW?! But then again, while they are renovating, surely need to let go once in a while. I can't be getting them a potty right? rclxub.gif

I have 2 bathroom. One has started renovating. The other is pending because according to the workers, they need to use it. So once they are done renovating the first bathroom and moving to the 2nd one, surely they'll have to use the 1st one with the newly installed WC. howwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww? rclxub.gif

1st how long in the during works till completed all?

1 week or 1 month?

How long they can tahan? These is all human... Wow, you control them don't do business at the master bathroom, but you can't control them don't do at the common toilet..

Even you monitor them... But they is human, got makan sure will be cycle out.

Like my case on my master toilet I won't do business at all, most of time going to common one.

In healthy is not good for doing between inside bedroom while someone slept.

Must leave one WC for them to use. You can leave the last toilet WC to change. When I did my renovation, my contractor fix the old WC in the ground floor temporary for them to use, when almost done he fix it with the new WC, and they still use it. Treat everyone equal please, if you don't treat them equal they will treat you the other way too.

That's why this is bothering me. Is not that I don't wanna let them answer their nature call tongue.gif . But I dont know what or how to deal with this. Just felt abit sad cos other people get to use my NEW WC before me cry.gif Like beating the purpose of installing a new one.

So your suggestion is, when the workers are done renovating my 1st bath, tell them to install the OLD WC first temporary so that they can use it while they are renovating the 2nd bath? Once the 2nd bath is done + NEW WC, they can do their business there since it's a common bathroom?

ps: noticed that guys always kencing meleleh everywhere - hence why I'm not quite happy that this will happen to my new WC sad.gif
