- Screws
4. Setup and Installation
Follow these steps for proper installation of the inlet valve:
- Prepare the Tank: Ensure the water tank (porcelain or plastic) is clean and free of debris. If replacing an old valve, remove it completely.
- Position the Valve: Insert the SIAMP Inlet Valve into the designated hole at the bottom of the water tank.
- Secure the Valve: Use the provided nuts and screws to firmly secure the valve to the tank. Ensure a watertight seal without overtightening.
- Connect Water Supply: Connect the water source to the valve's inlet connection. This can be done with a copper or plastic coupling. The valve has a 0.5-inch inlet connection size and is designed for bottom connection.
- Adjust Water Level: The valve is adjustable. Adjust the float mechanism to achieve the desired water level in the tank.
- Check for Leaks: Slowly turn on the main water supply and check all connections for any leaks. Tighten if necessary.

5. Operating Instructions
The SIAMP Inlet Valve operates automatically to refill your water tank after flushing. Its hydraulic working mechanism ensures efficient and quiet operation.
- Automatic Refill: After the tank is flushed, the water level drops, causing the float to descend and open the valve, allowing water to flow in.
- Water Level Control: As the tank fills, the float rises, gradually closing the valve when the preset water level is reached.
- Anti-Backflow Function: The valve is equipped with an anti-backflow mechanism to prevent contaminated water from flowing back into the main water supply.
- Percentage Compensation: This feature ensures optimal water usage by adjusting the fill rate based on tank conditions.
- Pressure Compatibility: The valve is designed to operate effectively with water pressure ranging from 0.5 bar to 16 bar.
6. Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your SIAMP Inlet Valve.
- Periodic Cleaning: Periodically inspect the valve for mineral deposits or debris. If necessary, shut off the water supply, remove the valve, and clean it with a soft brush and mild detergent.
- Check Connections: Annually check all connections for tightness and signs of wear.
- Inspect Float: Ensure the float moves freely and is not obstructed.
7. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Tank not filling or filling slowly | Low water pressure, clogged inlet, obstructed float. | Check main water supply pressure. Clean the inlet filter. Ensure float moves freely. |
| Tank overfilling | Float misaligned or damaged, valve not closing completely. | Adjust or replace the float. Inspect valve for debris preventing closure. |
| Constant running water | Valve seal worn or dirty, float not rising high enough. | Clean or replace the valve seal. Adjust float level. |
