I have a uberhaus dual flush toilet. I turned off the water supply in the house to work on a sink and when I turned it back on the toilet won't fill anymore. If I fill the tank or the bowl it will flush but it won't fill. Does anyone know how to fix it?

You will have to disassemble the fill valve and clean it. When you shut the water off and on to work on the sink it dislodged dirt and scale in the water piping which clogged the toilet fill valve. Check your lavatory sink areators too they may also be partially plugged. Hope this helps.

SOURCE: American Standard Elongated toilet bowl water level slowly drops

The tank holding the proper amount of water is a good sign. The inside of the stool is like the GOOSE NECK under you sink. It always holds water. This may sound like a bit of a hassle to do but if all 3 toilets are identical, here is what you can try if you are a bit handy. Go to the hardware store and purchase 4 toilet wax rings with a plastic flange and a few sets of toilet floor flange bolts(they are cheap and you can always return if not used, as It is better to have xtra parts on hand). Turn off the water supply to the "Mystery Toilet". Leave the tank and everything connected to the stool. Flush the toilet and remove all excess water from the tank and bowl. This can be done with a shop vac, sponge or towel. Disconnect the water supply to the tank. Remove the bolts holding the stool to the floor and carefully remove toilet. Scrap off all the old wax from the floor flange and bottom of stool. Now go and repeat this proceedure to one of the toilets that is working properly. In other words Switch the "Mystery Toilet" with a "Working Toilet" and see how they react. If the working toilet does it in the same bathroom and the "Mystery Toilet" does not do it in the other bathroom then you probably have a VENTING PROBLEM. If the "Mysery Toilet" Does it in the other bathroom then you most likely have a Defective Toilet. This Job is best done by 2 people, as it can sometimes be challenging to center the new wax ring on the toilet flange. Reconnect to the floor and reconnect water supply to the tanks. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN BOLTS to the floor flange as you may crack the toilet. All drain lines must be vented properly for water to flow. If you are curious check out drain venting on the internet. Also, sometimes a vent can become obstructed with debris, ice, bird nest, etc.. I would 1st check the vent on the roof visually and then have someone flush and listen. If you believe the vent is clear....Then do the toilet switch and go from there.....Hope this helps and Happy Holidays....Joe

SOURCE: Toilet will not fill up

Some Toto fill valves have a plastic debris screen located at the inlet connection. Turn off the supply valve and remove the supply connection at the bottom of the tank. Use a mirror to inspect the screen for debris.
I agree w/ Smithbrother, the Fluidmaster fill valves are cheap and work well. The only thing they ever need is an occasional seal for $1.50 and 5 minutes to replace.

Check your flapper line to the flush handle. The flapper is in the tank on bottom. There shoiuld be a plastic line to handle or chain. :)

Sometimes toilet doesn't fill with water until sink is turned on.

Do you really think 'toilet' is spelled 'toliet'? You wrote this 4 times.

Replace the water inlet valve. It sounds like it is sticking and you also have very low water pressure. Call in a plumber and get the water pressure test with a gauge.

Eco Flush. Why does it keep running?

A dual flush toilet is a fantastic option to save water and make your home more environmentally friendly. Giving you the option for a half flush or full flush at your discretion, you can lower your water consumption while still getting the job done. However, like all toilets, they can present problems that mean the toilet doesn't function as it should. One common problem in dual flush toilets is constantly running. You hear the tank constantly being filled, even when it should be finished and completely full. If your dual flush toilet is constantly running, first check for the top three problems that cause this trouble:
Flapper or Seal Trouble
The flapper or seal is often the culprit in constant running water in both normal and dual flush toilets. Over time, this rubber piece may become brittle or simply misaligned. To check it, turn off the water supply and flush the toilet to completely empty it of water. Remove any remaining water with a sponge or towel. Then, you'll need to remove the flush valve canister in order to access the seal. Once you've found the seal, check to see if there are any cracks in the seal. If there are, you'll need to replace it. Otherwise, check to see if it can be re-aligned to sit nicely in its place. Some homeowners find that applying a bit of Vaseline to the seal can renew it, making it supple and functional again for a while at least.
Debris
Sometimes the water supply isn't as clean as we think. Or, dust and dirt may be able to enter the toilet, causing the fill valve to malfunction. To check it, turn off the water supply and remove the lid from the fill valve. Then, look for any debris and remove it. You may also consider brushing out the valve with a small brush. Once you're certain it is clean, recap the valve and check if the problem has been solved.
Broken Zip Tie
The fill valve in most dual flush toilets has a zip tie to keep the base of the fill valve in place. If the fill valve isn't strongly secured, it can cause the toilet to run. Sometimes these ties wear out or break before the rest of the device does. You'll need to replace a broken zip tie with a new one if you find that it's broken. If possible, you can place two zip ties on the fill valve in order to assure that the base doesn't wobble, causing the leak. Many times these problems are easy for the average homeowner to check for and repair. In the case that you are not able to find a solution to your dual flush toilet's constant running, then you'll need to call in the help of a professional plumber. A high quality plumbing company will be able to help you troubleshoot your dual flush toilet troubles and make sure it's functioning properly again.

AVibrating sound for 10 seconds- like a moan- after toilet is flushed and filled.What is going on? It doesn't happen every time.

Depends upon several things, the most difficult would be too much air in the pipes. Before having a "anti-hammer" installed; I would try this... go to the supply for the cold water pipe (for that room, dependent upon the age and style of your home) maybe the basement??? See if there is a place, other than the toilet, to turn off the water supply (turn the water off), open the cold water valves of your sink and tub and flush the toilet, and drain about 1 quart of water from that line. Leave the tub and sink cold water valves open and slowly open the valve you turned off, allow water to flow from the faucets and flush the toilet a few times. What you are trying to do is allow the air to escape. Turn off the faucets and flush the toilet again, open the partially closed valve all the way. This should get rid of trapped air, and it is the cheapest first step. This is one example of an "Anti-hammer" device.

Note: On some houses it may be difficult to find a place to drain the cold water line, without turning off the entire home.

Why my uberhaus dual flush toilet does not flush properly

Perhaps it is taking a long time to fill the cistern, take top off and see if it's filling after flushing, if it's slow and pressure is ok it is likely to need a new diaphragm in the filling valve.

Toilet flushes fine but when the tank has filled it seems like the float ball keeps bobbing up and down letting more water or air into the tank. it will do this 5/6 times then quits. its almost like it is...

The ball float follows the tank water level, and repeated cycles of the float dropping and opening the fill valve would likely reflect a leak in the flush valve. You could try adjusting the float arm downward so that it will respond to a lower water level. Try turning off the supply valve, flushing it and listen for water leaking past the flush valve after it closes. If it does, replace the flapper or adjust the chain.

Toto Toilet - no water flow to refill tank after flush

Remove the tank lid and look at the fill valve. Is it a yellow valve?
This fill valve is common on the Toto Toilets and can easliy plug with debrie.

They can be disassmbled and cleaned. however, I usually just replace the valve with Fluid Master Fill valve.
You will also want to check the water coming into the toilet by turning off the water that supplies the toilet and disconnecting the water supply line. After removing the water supply line turn on the water at the valve to make sure that the water is flowing properly. Check the supply line also to make sure it is not plugged.
Be sure and place a small container to catch the water that will come from the valve. A towell will also help from making too much of a mess.
If the Supply line and the valve are clear the problem is in the fill valve.
The G-Max system denotes the Flushiing system which is a 3" flapper that allows the water from the tank to flow into the bowl quicker.
Good Toilets!
