How to fix a toilet without a chain, three easy fixes.

If your toilet doesn't have a chain, it probably has a lever arm that controls the flapper.There is a lever arm on a no chain toilet that extends from the flush handle to a rod.Unlike a chain, it can never be too long or too short and it never falls off.It's easy to replace when it cracks or breaks.

If your toilet has a push button on the top, it might be a pressure-assisted toilet, such as a Sloane Flushmate.Problems with the water supply can cause poorflushing.Most of these problems can be fixed by yourself, except in cases in which the tank is cracked.

The toilet handle arm doesn't actually raise the toilet bowl.Instead, it raises a no chain toilet, which is a small circular disk that seals water out of the flush valve when the tank is full.To push the flush handle, you have to use extra force.This can cause the lever arm to bend or break.Most hardware stores have an inexpensive replacement for the broken toilet handle arm.

To replace the toilet handle arm, open the tank lid and remove the plastic nut.You can do this by hand.Don't use a wrench if not.It's a reverse thread nut so you have to turn it clockwise to loosen it.Pull out the entire handle arm assembly from the hole in the toilet tank by unhooking the other end of the arm.The plastic nut should be slid onto the end of the handle arm assembly.To secure the handle arm assembly to the tank, you need to hook the end of the lever under the rod and tighten the nut by hand.The same procedure can be used if the toilet flush handle is broken.

A flushmate is a type of toilet.There is one major difference between this toilet and others like it.It has a sealed pressure tank with a certain amount of air that gets compressed when it fills with water.The push button is on the top of the tank.The valve opens when you press it.The water under pressure pushes the contents of the bowl into the waste line.The flushing mechanism has many advantages over a conventional gravity flush valve, but it's loud.

Poor water pressure at the water supply could be the reason why a pressure-assisted toilet doesn't flush well.The first thing to do is to check the water supply.A gallon bucket should be filled in under a minute.While you have the water disconnected, check the screen on the inlet hose for debris that could be obstructing water flow.

The pressure tank has an air intake on top of a vertical pipe.Put water on the hole.The water should be sucked in.Remove the cap and clean the screen.Don't replace it if it's damaged.Make sure the armature connected to the flush button actually pushes the rod down.If necessary, adjust it.
