Hello, I really need your assistance! I live with & care for my elderly grandparents and they've had a running toilet for about 6 months now.
They're quite old & set in their ways, so they insisted that it'll just stop of it's own accord (obviously, it hasn't) and it's got to the point now where the toilet doesn't flush anymore.
So, whilst having a bath I went over to the toilet to inspect it. It's an old bathroom suite.(atleast 22 years old as that's my age and it's always been like that for aslong as I can remember!) and the whole bathroom is a set, and the sink, toilet & bidet are all the same, ceramic and unbranded.
It took me quite a while to figure out how to take the top off the tank.. it has a hollow tube in the middle that leads upto a pull lever.
To flush the toilet, you have to pull the the handle straight-up vertically and let it go.
On closer inspection of the toilet, I had to unscrew the tube in the middle before I could remove the lid, which lead down to a verticle tube-system that seems to flush using a tumbler-shaped chamber system.
I've taken a picture of the chamber system & of the inside of the tank.
My question is; is there a name for this specific system, so that I can either mention it to a plumber's merchant or search for one on the internet
