Hi, I have a Duravit Happy D toilet where the water kept on leaking into the bowl after each flush, causing the bowl to "gurgle" and drain three times before the hissing in the valve stops and the leaking stops. Should I replace the valve or is it something I can fix easily? Thanks in advance.

  • mr_xianzhang Aug 31, 2009

    Well, the float assembly in the Happy D is a little different from what I normally see in US made models. I expect that when the float rises, the valve should shut off. But it seems that the hissing sound continues after the float had risen, thus the valve was still open, and water still flowed over the overflow pipe, until a while later. This seem to cause the water in the bowl to accumulate and drain several time until the water valve shuts off. I don't have a diagram of the float assembly, so I don't know how to diagnose the problem.

    to really know whats going on, remove tank lid and observe what is going on in there when you flush

Re. Duravit Happy D toilet (tank No. 0929100005)

Remove and clean the flush valve and the flush valve seat(it is the flap that opens up to allow water to flush the toilet). Once the edges of the valve and the seat are cleaned, possibly with "0000" grit bulldog steel wool, it should not leak anymore. To make sure it is not leaking, once tank has refilled completely, put some food die in the tank. If, after 10-15 minutes, the water in the toilet bowl is colored, you have a leak from the flush valve. Replacing the flush valve is very easy - just bring the old one with you to the hardware/plumbing store and ask for a replacement. Blessings and good luck!!

My toilet flushes, then the water in the bowl drains over 4-5 minutes resulting in sewer gas smells.

Look inside the tank under the lid, it sounds like the flapper that lets the water into the bowl is getting hung up on something when you flush. It could be the flushing lever. This would cause the flapper to stay open letting water to just pour into the open sewer line. It should be a simple fix. Just see what is binding the flapper & make an adjustment.

Adjust the water level in the bowl of a duravit toilet

You can't. Water level is set by the design of the trap built into the ceramic base. Can only adjust height of water in the tank.

I have a new American Standard Cadet 3 that was just installed. After flushing, the water fills into the bowl. However, after several minutes, the water in the bowl slowly drains away and is nearly gone....

Sorry for problem with new toilet.
You say water is leaking out of the bowl?

Toilets have 2 parts:
1) Tank: where water is stored for the flush and is sealed with a flapper.
2) Bowl: where water flushes down.

a) If tank is leaking water, then flapper is suspect. Replace flapper and see if that works.
Lift up flapper and run finger around rim to see if there is a rough spot that would indicate flush valve is defective, and needs replacement.
See typical flush valve

b) If bowl is leaking, that is very unusual and would indicate a crack in the porcelain.

If installer sold you the toilet, it is his responsibility to make good on product.

My toilet is a duravit 1930 series model with Euro style push flusher rather than handle. Internal flushing mechanism is not traditional float ball. toilet water constantly leaks from tank into bowl...

A fairly easy ( but messy ) fix - get a replacement tank to bowl gasket and bolt kit, shut off water supply, drain tank, remove bolts ( you might have to cut, depending on your water source and minerals in your water). Remove old gasket and clean surface with 00 grade steel wool. Replace gasket, install new bolts, remount tank.
Good luck!!

When cistern fills with water it leaks into the bowl

Hi,

This is caused by the 'syphon' mechanism sticking, quite often nowadays the 'brilliant' plastic push button/ syphon combo sticks, and most toilets are fitted with an internal overflow, lift the lid on the cistern and check for anything causing an obstruction.

More often than not, it's a tiny bit of scale that causes such a headache, and the fact that nothing is made with any quality nowadays!

If you can't see what's wrong call a plumber, he/she will solve it.

I hope this helps

low water in the bowl is only caused by the float being to high! the gurgles is Usually because of air coming back up through the pipe, check your vent pipe that come out the roof. this will help the draining.
