Troubleshooting a Sloan concealed flush valve can be tricky, but here's a step-by-step guide to help you diagnose and repair common issues:
1. Identify the Problem:
No Flush at All: The valve doesn't activate when the handle is pressed or the sensor is triggered.
Continuous Running: Water flows constantly, even after the flush cycle should have ended.
Weak or Incomplete Flush: The toilet doesn't flush completely, leaving waste behind.
Leaking: Water drips or leaks from the valve or around the toilet bowl.
2. Safety First:
Turn off the water supply: Locate the shut-off valve behind the toilet and turn it clockwise to stop the water flow.
Protect yourself: Wear gloves to avoid contact with bacteria and grime.
3. Troubleshooting Steps:
Check the Water Supply: Ensure the shut-off valve is fully open and that there's adequate water pressure.
Inspect the Handle/Sensor:
For manual handles, make sure they're not stuck or broken.
For sensor-operated valves, check for obstructions or battery issues.
Examine the Diaphragm:
This rubber component controls the flush cycle. If it's damaged or clogged, it needs replacement.
To access the diaphragm:
Remove the control stop cover.
Turn the control stop counterclockwise to shut off the water to the valve.
Remove the diaphragm assembly and inspect it for damage or debris.
Clean or replace the diaphragm as needed.
Check the Relief Valve: This valve prevents excessive water pressure. If it's malfunctioning, it can cause continuous running or weak flushes.
Inspect the Solenoid (for sensor-operated valves): This electronic component activates the flush. If it's faulty, the valve won't work.
4. Repairing the Flush Valve:
Replace the Diaphragm: If damaged or clogged, replace it with a new one that matches your valve model and flush volume.
Replace the Relief Valve: If faulty, install a new relief valve.
Replace the Solenoid: If the solenoid is defective, replace it with a new one.
Repair Leaks: Tighten any loose connections or replace worn-out gaskets or seals.
5. If You're Unsure:
Consult the Manual: Refer to the Sloan flush valve manual for specific troubleshooting and repair instructions for your model.
Call a Plumber: If you're uncomfortable working on plumbing or can't identify the problem, it's best to call a qualified plumber.
Additional Tips:
Regular Maintenance: Periodically inspect and clean your flush valve to prevent issues.
Use the Correct Parts: Always use genuine Sloan replacement parts to ensure compatibility and proper function.
Hard Water Issues: If you have hard water, consider installing a water softener to prevent mineral buildup in the valve.
Remember, safety first! If you're not confident in your plumbing skills, it's always best to seek professional help.
