In the picture above you can see the stream of water gushing into the tank since the float is down and the valve is open.

In this picture you can see two things. We have filled the tank completely and the float has effectively closed the inflow of water.

We have also fitted the “bridge” before going on to close the tank.

This is an alternative view of the tank.

Some tips to ensure that your tank is hassle free..

• Periodically clean the interiors of your tank and remove debris, dirt from the interiors. 
• Check if the rubber washers are in a good condition. Replace them if they seem to have worn out.
• Once in a while let the tank drain out completely and let the unit dry for a while.
• Do not keep any heavy item on top of the tank lid.
• If any part is not operation - replace immediately as you can save precious water.
• Wipe clean the tank with a cloth to prevent salt stains.

Hope you found this article useful.

• Flush Tank - Do-it-yourself - Part 2

Yesterday we briefly introduced you to the parts within the tank. There is the main valve, the float and the operational handle.

The tank is made of plastic as you can see from the picture below.

The hole that you see on the front is where the handle goes in.

These pictures show you the lid of the tank and also what we call “the bridge”. The bridge is a device which is used to hold  the tank together when it is filled with water. It is am improvised design. Earlier tanks did not have this and as a result the tank would bulge one way due to the weight of the water inside and eventually break.

There are 4 openings in a flush tank. The first is something we already discussed. It appears in the front where the operating handle would be mounted. The tank has two inlet holes on each side. This is to give a generic design so that you can adapt the main inlet valve from either side depending on your bathroom’s design.

The last of the holes is at the bottom and this is where  the water is expelled out of.You can see the pictures below for the same.

In the second picture the main valve has been fitted into.

It is a simple twist and turn mechanism. The base however has to be screwed onto the tank. Believe us - no tools are required to repair/replace these parts.

In this picture you can see that we have fitted the handle on to the tank with the lever attached to the main valve. when you turn the handle on from the outside you lift the main valve and “flush” the toilet as all the water goes into the WC.

And finally in this picture you can see that we have fitted the float as well. The float is part of the inlet system. SO the main valve and the flush tank are connected to each other by means of a flexible pipe.

More in final part.

Ever had this flush tank which kept leaking all day long and kept you and your family away from a dry bathroom floor? Welcome to the club. Flush tanks are designed to last normally. But due to various factors we end up in a situation where the mechanism inside simply fails. What is even worse is that to prevent the leak we close the mains supply to the tank and end up with no water in the tank when we really want it to be.

This is the first of the a three part article which would give you some tips of repairing your tank on your own. Its kind of a Do-it-yourself article.

To understand the functioning of the flush tank, you need to know that there are only 3 vital components within. The first is the valve which releases water to your WC. The second is a float which regulates the flow of water into the tank and shuts it off when the tank is full. And the last part is the handle which is used to operate the tank from outside.

In the picture given below you can see the parts on the floor.

More on this in the next part.

Many a times, we struggle to find the place to store towels in the bathroom. I have seen people throw the towel over the shower head or squeeze it into the door handle. Some people have the rods like the one shown below.

An alternate solution is to have a towel rack which also has the rod below. The rack can be used to store clean and dry towels whereas the rod below can be used to hang the towels in use. I think this is a great idea. Any comments?
