Types and parts
Between the different types of toilets are the current toilets that have a capacity between 12 to 18 liters of water and the silent toilets that have a capacity between 24 and 36 liters of water.
The current toilets are those that are placed at 1.60 meters in height, measuring from the edge of the pond lid to the floor level. The toilets have a pond that is mounted on the toilet bowl. The two types of toilets have the following appearance:
It is important to know which are the parts that make up the tank of a silent type WC, since they will allow its repair in a better way:
- Overflow tube
- Drive shaft
- Float rod
- Float
- Sopapa or flipper
- Soup seat
- Regulating drain nuts
- Drainpipe
- Muffler tube
- Intake
- Water inlet valve
- Discharge actuating handle
- Handle of the shooter
How do they work
The running WC works in the following way:
- The water enters the pond with pressure, pushing the rubber of the intake valve.
- The filling process starts, raising the water level and thus lifting the float.
- When reaching the maximum height, the float presses the rubber of the intake valve and cuts the water flow.
- When the discharge handle is activated, the chute is lifted and the water is discharged into the toilet bowl.
- Once the water has been discharged, the soup again settles down and the process starts again.
The operation of the silencer is similar to the current pond. The variation is in the silencer tube, which is screwed to the intake valve and prevents water noise and, in the priming pipe. When the filling of the pond begins, the water goes through the priming leaving at the level of the cup. It is normal to see water running through the toilet bowl while the filling process occurs.
Faults and how to solve them
- Valve rubber in poor condition: it is exchanged for an equal
- Broken valve packing: it is exchanged for an equal
- Rod of the broken float: it is changed by an equal
- Broken hammer: is changed by an equal
- Open float: it is exchanged for an equal float
- Perforated overflow tube: it is exchanged for an equal one
- Broken muffler tube: it is exchanged for an equal one
- Broken priming pipe: changed for an equal
- Conical rubbers in poor condition: it is changed by an equal
- Broken handle: it is changed by an equal
- Arm of the broken shooter: it is changed by an equal one
- Bent rods: straighten
- Broken soup: it is exchanged for an equal
- Broken Flipper: it is changed by an equal one
- Sopapa or flipper with tartar: clean
- Broken drain pipe: changed by an equal one
- Inlet tube broken: it is exchanged for an equal one
- Oval soup: it is exchanged for an equal
- Golilla lead metallic valve: it is exchanged for an equal
- Guide clamp off center: it is changed by an equal
