4. Setup and Installation
This section provides step-by-step instructions for installing the PROFLO Jerrit Toilet Tank onto a compatible toilet bowl. Ensure the water supply is turned off before proceeding.
- Prepare the Bowl: Ensure the toilet bowl is clean and ready for tank installation. The tank-to-bowl gasket should be placed over the flush valve opening on the bottom of the tank.
- Position the Tank: Carefully lift the tank and align the bolt holes on the bottom of the tank with the corresponding holes on the back of the toilet bowl. Lower the tank gently onto the bowl.
- Secure the Tank: Insert the tank-to-bowl bolts through the holes, securing them with washers and nuts from underneath the bowl. Tighten the nuts evenly until the tank is snug against the bowl, but do not overtighten, as this can crack the ceramic.
- Connect Water Supply: Connect the water supply line to the fill valve shank at the bottom of the tank. Hand-tighten first, then use a wrench for a final quarter-turn to ensure a leak-free connection.
- Restore Water Supply: Slowly turn on the water supply to the toilet. Check for any leaks around the tank-to-bowl connection and the water supply line. Allow the tank to fill.
- Test Flush: Once the tank is full, perform a test flush to ensure proper operation of the fill valve and flush valve. Adjust the water level if necessary according to the fill valve instructions.

5. Operation
The PROFLO Jerrit Toilet Tank operates by a standard left-hand trip lever mechanism. To flush the toilet, simply depress the trip lever located on the left side of the tank. This action lifts the flush valve, allowing water to flow from the tank into the bowl, initiating the flush cycle. The fill valve will then automatically refill the tank to the appropriate water level.
The insulated tank design helps prevent condensation from forming on the exterior, reducing the risk of moisture on your bathroom floor.
6. Maintenance
Regular cleaning and maintenance will ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your PROFLO Jerrit Toilet Tank.
- Cleaning the Exterior: Use a soft cloth and mild, non-abrasive cleaner to wipe down the exterior of the tank. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive scrubbers, as they can damage the vitreous china finish.
- Cleaning the Interior: Periodically inspect the inside of the tank for mineral buildup or debris. If necessary, turn off the water supply, flush the toilet to empty the tank, and clean with a toilet brush and a mild cleaner. Rinse thoroughly before restoring water.
- Check for Leaks: Regularly inspect the water supply line and tank-to-bowl connections for any signs of leaks. Address any leaks promptly to prevent water damage.
- Inspect Internal Components: Occasionally check the fill valve and flush valve for proper operation and wear. Replace components if they are worn or malfunctioning.
7. Troubleshooting
