The toilet stopped flushing so I replaced the syphon with a new Opella multiflush. (the old one had a torn flap).

The new one worked fine for a few days & then would not flush again.? I again put in a new one (they are very cheap) and again it worked fine for a few days & now will not flush again. There is no visible damage to the one I took out but it will not work..any ideas???????

Opela syphons, are not fit for perpose i fitted some a few months ago and had to return within days to replace them again, the diapham tears away from the centre spindle and stays at the top of the syphon

Thank you BUCK51 - I thought it must be a problem with the syphon - can anyone recommend a good one as Opella seems to be stocked everywhere round here..
