Oct 13	comment	Can I alter the 'timing' of my toilet flush? It was slightly off, so I've straightened it, but it made no difference unfortunately.
Oct 13	comment	Can I alter the 'timing' of my toilet flush? @UNECS No, I don't think so.
Oct 13	comment	Can I alter the 'timing' of my toilet flush? I believe the syphon works by creating a vacuum, and the diaphragm is necessary for that.
Oct 13	comment	Can I alter the 'timing' of my toilet flush? Now that I think of it, it could be the diaphragm in the syphon that's worn and not making a good seal... I'm an idiot
Oct 13	comment	Can I alter the 'timing' of my toilet flush? @TheEvilGreebo the shutoff valve being the valve controlling the flow of water into the tank?
Oct 13	comment	Can I alter the 'timing' of my toilet flush? None of these look like what I have in my tank - I'm in the UK, so perhaps the standards are different. I think that instead of a flapper we have a syphon, like this: toiletparts.co.uk/toilet_syphons_26.html#
Oct 13	comment	Can I alter the 'timing' of my toilet flush? The cistern is as full as it can be, about 7 litres, and drains almost fully when flushed.
Oct 13	comment	Can I alter the 'timing' of my toilet flush? It's a deep groaning sound somewhere in the wall. I've just let the cistern fill up as much as possible and flushed but no dice; the stuff in the bowl moves up not down when flushing, like its filling faster than it's draining. But it always returns to the same level overall.

Oct 13	comment	Can I alter the 'timing' of my toilet flush? Interesting. I'll check the cistern and see if it's full. I don't think there's a blockage, but something makes a godawful noise when we flush, which stops if we run a tap (faucet) while the tank refills. Could that indicate something?
