Flush identification

[steveoelliott]

Hi all,

 

Sorry for the layman question but I have a defective flusher (intermittent) which I need to replace. I'm pretty sure I can muster this myself but just want to know what I need to order.

 

Thanks in advance...

When the button is pushed, does the other end of the plastic tube respond?

 

When you take the tubes off the button and push the button is air forced out of the button tube connectors?

 

I.e.  is it the button, pipe or flusher not working?

Can you take a photo showing the flusher system?

Sometimes the flush works and other times it only does a partial /weak / half hearted flush etc. I figured replacing the button was the most logical thing to do but should I be investigating the actual flusher also?

Check water level, may be that the cistern is not filling correctly and this is causing the poor or non existent flush

When it happens there is plenty in it as a second / third go normally gets it. The button does feel rather worn.

You've taken the blue plastic plate away to see the pipes after that are ok??

You know the button is a dual flush?

I will do that but I assume they are as for the most part it does flush OK.

Well in fact, the bottom part is broken and as you can see that part of the button is pushed in. Yes short press for short flush, press and hold for long.

👍 Think your right. Good to check options first though.
