I have two of these toilets and have the exact same problem. This video is the ONLY resource I've found across the entire internet that shows this gasket. I'm in the U.S., so I'm hoping I don't have to order from Australia to get this $1.50 gasket. So far, I haven't been able to find a U.S. supplier...which is astonishing. I can't believe it's this complicated for a simple rubber seal.
First and only video I have found specific to my toilet. Thanks. Very helpful. Especially the comment about the Performa washer from Reece plumbing. Never did find one at Bunnings.
thanks however how does the aqua float fit back on to the plunger system it fell off when i took the plunger out now it keeps falling off every time i flush the toilet.
I assume you mean the turquoise color float fit thing? I have the same problem, I ended up taking it out and the flush works just fine however I’d like to put it back. I’m unsure of its purpose
Go to Reece Australia and ask for a Performa Seating Washer Reece no 1842842 about $6, the washer is red, and reece is the distributor for the ageing Porcher ,Performa has some alternative products for improvement, hope this helps
No worries Andrew - glad it helped! Thanks to other replies for the part number - Yes it was a Performa washer for Porcher Cistern outlet from Reece Australia. I have had some trouble with these new washers sticking after installing! Thinking that maybe some of these have been on the shelf for years! :) Cheers, Stu
@@stuatbendigo Please! which model is that toilet please, the number just behind the cistern on my one are fade out, I wanna remplace the cistern but It think this one is discontinued I got the same one. Thanks
A Performa seating washer part number Reece No.1842842 worked for me. As for finding a manual for the valve; you must be joking! Reece is the supplier in Australia for Porcher (Ideal Standard) toilets.
I have the same system, can’t find any info anywhere, thanks for this video. Would you know what is the purpose of the turquoise colored float thing that’s attached to the bottom of the valve ? Mine came off and keeps falling off now everytime I flush so I had to remove it completely. The flush still works without it so I’m unsure of its purpose
استاذ بارك الله بيك على الفديوهات المفيدة اللي تنشرها عندي الطوافة ينملي التانكي ويرتفع الماء فوق مستوى الطوافة وتبقة اتذب ماي والماي يبدي يتسرب للمقعدد ماهو الحل ابني جاوبني الله يرضى عليك رغم اني لفت البرغي اللي على يسار الطوافة كله
Reece Australia or make your own - I am experimenting with silicon right now as I am finding the Performa brand which is the replacement is not "Performing"! It is sticking - even after a thorough clean of the seat that the washer sits on - on inspection the Performa washer is breaking down - either rubbish material or been on the shelf for years or both! So far the silicon washer i made from a silicon food storage bag IS performing - early days tho.

Hmmm, a bit late I know, but might be easier to swap out valve for another one perhaps? Anyway good luck !

@@Sodainspace that's the one I gather its to do with the half flush, as you say it works fine without it, so like you I have thrown it out
Thank you! my toilet is discontinued and has this exact valve. I've been searching for 3 days to find the right washer!

Haha, that’s funny because I did the same thing. Mine kept coming off too. But I couldn’t work out its purpose either! 😀
Do you have the manual of this? I have the same and i can't find the replacement of the seal and the name of the model and manual of this valve 😫
Thanks. Very useful. Works great!
Good to hear!
Thanks a lot for help and explanation -
Glad it helped!
