Hi,
There is a constant trickle from the cistern into the bowl. The flushing outlet valve is the problem and needs replacing.
Our toilet is an old 9L Fowler (which was bought by Caroma).
The flap on the side is also broken off (refer to images).
Ideally I would just like a new flushing outlet valve, rather than replacing the whole toilet/cistern.
Any advice will be helpful or locating a new part that will be compatible with this toilet.
Hello @ellenah
Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community. It's sensational to have you join us, and thanks for sharing your question about your Fowler cistern.
In this instance, I suggest engaging the services of licensed plumber to replace your flushing unit. It's possible that the Kinetic Round And Oval Button Dual Flush Outlet Valve Kit might work with your old cistern set, but this is something your plumber will have to verify. Although your ceramic toilet suite is still in good condition, finding spare parts for it is becoming very difficult and costly.
I propose comparing getting a new toilet suite such as the Mondella Cadenza Close Coupled Rimless Toilet Suite, plus the cost of installation versus the cost of rare parts and professional repair. Should you decide to install a new toilet suite, I recommend having a look at the toilet installation service offered by the store.
If you have any other questions we can help with, please let us know.
