leaky loo, found out the cause ? (30 Viewers)

[sweet caroline]

Hi guys,

I said, that i had a leaky loo! well, Im stuck in the Derbyshire Dales on site, so have time on my hand at present. Now I am NO technician, as I was a surgical podiatrist in past life !

However. I can see the water coming from now ! It is two holes under the seat of the loo cassette! So when I press the water to flush (thankfully it is not human water, as a bit of a hygiene freak !), the water is also coming out of these two holes, and dripping on the lever and then obviously straight onto the floor! Why is this please?

I have a home visit habitation guy coming next week, so at least I am able to tell him where the water is coming from now ! Phew Any suggestion to STOP this happening for the next 2 days, whilst driving please

Your EXPert advise is always appreciated guys ! Thank you so much

Don't use the flush,you can use an empty spray bottle filled with water instead,sounds like the flush outlet has become unseated

Get a spray bottle and put water (plus any additive in if desired) and bypass the inbuilt flush.

We rarely use our flush . Have a small garden type sprayer that is pumped up and used to sluice down any debris and clean the bowl. A few drops of bio washing liquid in it and it negates using the flush and also saves on water

Hi guys I'm hoping this video can be seen. As it's not so easy on this site, Facebook is easier.
You seem to have to download in a file first.
But I've found the hole under the rim the flush water is coming from, n then works its way onto the lever.

The trouble is whatever water goes down there, it still comes thru the lever?

For lever do you mean the slide across the bottom of the pan?

If you can't do video just upload a couple of photos

I am confident one of your fellow campers would happily take a look especially as they will have similar units fitted

Sounds like you need a seal kit.
