The toilet is one of the important sanitary ware in our bathroom. It is used very frequently, but when it has some failures, it will inevitably affect our normal bathroom life? Toilet seepage is one of the possibilities, if it is only slight Okay, we have time to ask someone to deal with it, but the kind of leakage that floods the golden mountain will make us at a loss. Do you feel a headache when you think about it? Today we will learn about the causes of toilet seepage. which.
What are the causes of toilet seepage
1. Poor material
In order to reduce production costs, many unscrupulous manufacturers will choose to use some inferior materials for production, which will easily cause the water outlet and water inlet pipe to crack during injection molding, resulting in poor sealing, causing water to flow into the toilet through the overflow pipe of the drain valve.
2. Accessories are too small
In many brands of toilets, in order to pursue the miniaturization of accessories, the buoyancy of the float ball is insufficient. When the water submerges the float ball, the water inlet valve still cannot be closed. In this case, the water will always flow into the water tank, causing water to flow into the toilet from the overflow pipe. Causing water seepage in the toilet.
3. Improper design
In many cases, if the design of the toilet tank is not good, the various parts will interfere with each other when they are in motion, resulting in water leakage. For example, the drop of the float and the float rod will affect the return of the flap. In addition, if the float rod is too long or the float is too large, it will cause increased friction with the water tank wall, thereby limiting the free rise and fall of the float.
4. The joints of the drain valve are not tightly sealed
If it is not a one-time injection molding drain valve, the seal of the joint will not be tight. Due to the action of tap water pressure, water will easily flow into the toilet from the gap through the overflow pipe, resulting in water leakage. The water inlet valve that can be lifted freely will also cause water leakage if the sealing ring is not in tight contact with the pipe wall.
Summary: If we don’t know anything about the reasons for the water seepage in the toilet, no matter how big or small the problem is, we have to ask the master to repair it. Through the understanding of the water seepage in the above toilets, we can check it ourselves, find the source of the leak, and repair it by ourselves. .
