ᐅ My toilet is constantly running. What should I do?

Hello,
I have a toilet with a concealed cistern, and water is continuously running. I don’t know how to fix it because I can’t access the cistern! Can I descale it, or how else could this problem be solved? Thanks for your tips, I hope someone knows!

Hi,
you can first try descaling; there are products available at hardware stores that you put in the toilet cistern overnight to dissolve the limescale. Unfortunately, with concealed cisterns, it is not so easy to remove the parts and clean the limescale manually. If that doesn’t work, you will need to call a plumber.

Hi,
I am currently facing the same problem and was hoping someone here might suggest something I haven't already tried. Today, I plan to take apart the flush mechanism and see what can be done. If I don’t flood my place, I’ll report back to let you know whether it worked or not. Talk soon!

In my experience, the only way to fix this is to take the flush mechanism apart and clean it. Often, it’s just a small piece of limescale stuck somewhere that causes the water to run continuously. This should be fixed quickly because it wastes water!
