Setup and Installation
The PROFLO PF5110HE Jerrit Toilet Tank is designed for floor-mounted installation and requires a separate toilet bowl. A toilet seat is not included with this product.
Required Tools and Materials (Not Included):
- Compatible toilet bowl
- Toilet seat
- Wax ring or rubber gasket
- Toilet bolts and washers
- Adjustable wrench
- Screwdriver
- Sealant (plumber's putty or silicone)
- Water supply line
Installation Steps:
- Prepare the Bowl: Ensure your toilet bowl is properly installed and secured to the floor flange.
- Attach Tank to Bowl: Carefully place the tank onto the back of the toilet bowl, aligning the bolt holes. Ensure the tank-to-bowl gasket is correctly seated between the tank and the bowl.
- Secure the Tank: Insert the tank bolts through the holes and secure them with washers and nuts from underneath the bowl. Tighten evenly until the tank is stable, but do not overtighten to avoid cracking the ceramic.
- Connect Water Supply: Attach the water supply line to the fill valve on the underside of the tank. Hand-tighten, then use a wrench for a final quarter-turn.
- Check for Leaks: Turn on the water supply slowly and inspect all connections for leaks. Allow the tank to fill and flush the toilet several times to ensure proper operation and check for any drips.

Operating Instructions
The PROFLO PF5110HE Jerrit Toilet Tank operates with a standard flush mechanism, delivering 1.28 gallons-per-flush (GPF) for efficient water usage.
- Flushing: Depress the flush lever located on the side of the tank. This action lifts the flapper valve, allowing water to flow from the tank into the toilet bowl.
- Refilling: After flushing, the flapper valve will close, and the fill valve will automatically refill the tank to the appropriate water level.
Ensure the water level in the tank reaches the marked waterline for optimal flushing performance.
Maintenance
Regular maintenance will help ensure the longevity and proper function of your PROFLO toilet tank.
- Cleaning: Clean the exterior of the tank with a soft cloth and mild, non-abrasive cleaner. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive scrubbers, as these can damage the vitreous china finish.
- Internal Components: Periodically inspect the internal components (fill valve, flapper, flush lever) for wear or damage. Mineral deposits can accumulate over time; gentle cleaning with a brush and vinegar solution may be necessary.
- Leak Checks: Regularly check for any signs of water leaks around the base of the tank, the water supply line connection, and inside the tank. Address any leaks promptly to prevent water damage and conserve water.
- Water Level: Ensure the water level inside the tank is consistent with the manufacturer's recommended fill line. Adjust the fill valve if necessary.
Troubleshooting
This section addresses common issues you might encounter with your toilet tank.
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Toilet runs continuously | Flapper not sealing, fill valve not shutting off, or water level too high. | Check flapper for debris or wear; adjust fill valve to lower water level; replace flapper or fill valve if damaged. |
| Weak flush | Low water level in tank, clogged siphon jet in bowl (if applicable), or partially closed water supply valve. | Ensure water level is at the fill line; check water supply valve is fully open. |
| Tank leaks | Loose tank bolts, worn tank-to-bowl gasket, or cracked tank. | Tighten tank bolts (do not overtighten); replace tank-to-bowl gasket; if tank is cracked, replacement is necessary. |
