Toilet Water Overflow – Replace Toilet Water Inlet of Type Push Button Flush Valve

Recently my toilet always overflow. I suspected it was due to the water inlet kept pumping in water.

My methods to Verify the Water Overflow

1. I adjust the water inlet lower.
2. If #1 fail, check whether there was water coming out from the water inlet hose

Adjust the Water Inlet

My water inlet can adjust its float. So I thought at first due to long time the float move by itself. So I lowered down the float.

Outcome: Still overflow

Check Whether Water Coming in from Water Inlet Hose

So I put the water inlet hose near the toilet body overnight. If it was wet then I know the water inlet needs to be replaced.

Outcome: Still overflow but the hose was dried.

Conclusion

For me there was only one conclusion because which was the water inlet that caused the water overflow. The water inlet was the only part that allows water to come in.

My Solution – Replace to new Water Inlet

At first I wanted to buy from Shopee which cost only around RM10, but after reading bad review. I decided to buy from a shop that cost me RM22. The quality is good and still works till now. I wanted to buy Techplas but it costs RM33 and at that time, I wasn’t really sure whether the overflow was really due to water inlet or other problems.

Outcome: No more overflow
