Float Flush
Question About Maintenance of Piston-Flush Toilets? The Float Gets Stuck and the Water Runs.?
Two years ago, I installed two brand new American Standard piston-flush toilets in the house. Recently, sometimes the little black float does not rise to the top after flushing, and the water continues to run.
While I can remove the top of the tank and touch the float to free it, I was wondering if there is some maintenance I can do to make sure the float rises to the top of the shaft every time like it is supposed to do.
The float gets stuck like this several times a week now. Any ideas?
If I understand the question, pour CLR or some other cleaner on the float and the hinge setup. Sounds as if you have a calcium buildup in those areas
