Constant drip of water inside toilet cistern

by jholden40 » Wed Aug 17, 2022 2:10 pm

This little pipe is constantly dripping. I’ve tried tightening up various bits but it won’t stop. Any suggestions?

Thanks

Hi jholden40,
Most likely - the washer in the valve needs replacing.
Less likely - the water level is too high and water is flowing out of the overflow or into the pan.
Possible - if you have a plunger type flush unit the washer on the bottom of it has perished.
Regards S
