4. Setup and Installation
Follow these steps to install your SagaSave Dual Flush and Fill Valve Kit:
- Turn Off Water Supply: Locate the water shut-off valve for your toilet, usually on the wall behind or near the toilet, and turn it clockwise until the water flow stops. Flush the toilet to empty the tank.
- Remove Old Components: Disconnect the water supply line from the old fill valve. Unscrew and remove the old fill valve and flush valve from the toilet tank. Clean any residue from the tank openings.
- Install New Fill Valve: Insert the new fill valve into the tank's inlet hole. Secure it with the provided nut and washer from underneath the tank. Ensure the washer creates a tight seal.
- Install New Flush Valve: Place the new dual flush valve into the large opening at the bottom of the tank. Secure it with the large nut and seal washer from underneath the tank. Ensure a firm, leak-proof connection.
- Adjust Fill Valve Height: The fill valve height is adjustable from 20 cm to 27 cm. Adjust it to fit your tank, ensuring it is at least 22 cm high.
- Adjust Flush Valve Height: The flush valve has a 12 cm screw rod that can be cut to your specific tank height if necessary.
- Connect Water Supply: Reconnect the water supply line to the new fill valve. Hand-tighten, then use a wrench for a final quarter turn, being careful not to overtighten.
- Install Dual Push Button: Insert the dual push button through the hole in the toilet tank lid. Secure it with the provided nut. The button's thick threading helps prevent leaks.
- Turn On Water Supply: Slowly turn the water supply valve counter-clockwise to restore water flow to the toilet. Check for any leaks around the fill valve, flush valve, and supply line connections.
- Test Flush: Allow the tank to fill completely, then test both the half flush and full flush functions.

6. Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and longevity of your toilet valve kit:
- Cleaning: Periodically clean the inside of the toilet tank and the valve components to prevent mineral buildup, which can affect performance. Use non-abrasive cleaners.
- Check for Leaks: Regularly inspect all connections and the base of the flush valve for any signs of water leakage. Address leaks promptly to prevent water waste and potential damage.
- Inspect Seals: Over time, rubber seals can degrade. If you notice persistent leaks or issues, inspect the seal washers on the fill valve, flush valve, and flush button for wear and replace if necessary.
7. Troubleshooting
Here are some common issues and their potential solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Toilet runs continuously or refills slowly | Fill valve not sealing properly; water level too high; flush valve seal issue. | Adjust fill valve float to lower water level. Check for debris in fill valve. Inspect flush valve seal for damage or debris. |
| Weak or incomplete flush | Water level too low; flush valve not opening fully; clogged siphon jet. | Adjust fill valve to raise water level. Ensure flush button mechanism is not obstructed. Clean siphon jet holes in the toilet bowl. |
| Water leaks from tank base | Loose flush valve nut; damaged flush valve seal; improper installation. | Tighten flush valve nut (do not overtighten). Inspect and replace flush valve seal if damaged. Re-install flush valve carefully. |
| Flush button stuck or unresponsive | Button mechanism obstructed; misaligned button. | Check for debris around the button. Ensure the button is correctly aligned with the flush valve mechanism. |
