I. The water tank material is not good or the internal parts of the water tank is old. Due to the rapid start of the toilet industry now, as well as the market prospects of the toilet, many small manufacturers produce some low-quality materials mixed into the toilet water tank pumping toilet industry indiscriminately. In order to make more profits, they choose toilets produced from inferior materials. This kind of toilet usually can’t be seen on the outside, however, inside there may be some small parts that are not used and can easily be damaged. Of course does not rule out the use of a long toilet tank, with a long time will also age and deteriorate, is a natural aging process. The quality of its products is beyond reproach.

The tank has been into the water, so that the water from the drain valve overflow pipe overflow into the toilet, thus causing a long flow of water. At this point we need to toggle the water valve float so that the float floats, stop the water. Most of the float stuck because of water quality problems at the accumulation of scale float, white vinegar can be used to remove to avoid again stuck float, and regular cleaning maintenance (Figure 3).

Toilet drainage is not smooth for many reasons, one may be because the top of the toilet by pressing the bar is too low. This can adjust their own.

Open the toilet tank, in the corresponding screws to adjust the position of the pressure rod on it.

The principle is that the bottle of water can take up a large part of the volume of the tank, it is equivalent to each flush can save a bottle of water, thus reducing the amount of stored water, to achieve the purpose of water conservation.
