Safety Information
Always turn off the water supply to the toilet before beginning any installation or maintenance. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment, such as gloves and eye protection. If you are unsure about any step, consult a qualified plumber. Do not use excessive force when tightening connections to avoid damaging components or plumbing.
Setup and Installation
Installation of the Nereusfwater Toilet Fill Valve Kit and Canister Flush Valve is designed to be straightforward. No specialized tools are required.
Installation Steps:
- Turn off Water Supply: Locate the shut-off valve 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 bottom of the old fill valve. Unscrew the mounting nut from the old fill valve and remove it from the tank. Remove the old flush valve by twisting or unlatching it from its base.
- Install New Canister Flush Valve: Place the new canister flush valve into the toilet tank, ensuring it seats properly on the flush valve opening. Secure it according to its design (usually a twist-lock or clip mechanism). Attach the chain to the flush lever.
- Adjust Fill Valve Height: The fill valve features a telescopic design for adjustable height. Adjust the height of the fill valve to fit your toilet tank, typically ensuring the top of the fill valve is below the tank's overflow tube.

- Install New Fill Valve: Insert the new fill valve into the hole at the bottom of the toilet tank. Secure it with the provided mounting nut, hand-tightening only. Do not overtighten.
- Connect Refill Tube: Attach one end of the refill tube to the fill valve's refill port and the other end to the overflow tube of the flush valve.
- Reconnect Water Supply: Reconnect the water supply line to the bottom of the new fill valve. Hand-tighten the connection, then use a wrench for a quarter turn if necessary, being careful not to overtighten.
- Turn on Water Supply: Slowly turn the water supply valve counter-clockwise to restore water flow to the toilet tank. Check for leaks around all connections.
- Test Flush: Allow the tank to fill, then flush the toilet to ensure proper operation and water level.

Operating Instructions
The Nereusfwater fill valve allows for precise water level adjustment to optimize flushing performance and water conservation.
Water Level Adjustment:
The fill valve features a knob for adjusting the water level in the toilet tank. This allows you to customize the water volume per flush.
- To Lower Water Level (Water Saving): Rotate the adjustment knob counter-clockwise. This reduces the amount of water in the tank, leading to better water-saving results.
- To Raise Water Level (Increased Flushing Power): Rotate the adjustment knob clockwise. This increases the water volume in the tank, enhancing flushing power.

Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and efficient operation of your toilet components.
- Filter Cleaning: The fill valve includes a removable filter in the inlet. Periodically check and clean this filter to prevent blockages from impurities in the water, which can affect fill speed and valve lifespan. To clean, turn off the water supply, disconnect the supply line, and remove the filter for rinsing.
- Seal Inspection: Annually inspect the silicone V-seal ring and other seals for any signs of wear, cracking, or degradation. Replace seals if necessary to prevent leaks.
- General Cleaning: Keep the toilet tank interior clean to prevent mineral buildup or debris from interfering with the valve mechanisms.

Troubleshooting
Here are solutions to common issues you might encounter:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Slow Water Fill | Clogged inlet filter; low water pressure; kinked supply line. | Clean the fill valve's inlet filter. Check household water pressure. Ensure the supply line is not kinked. |
| Weak or Incomplete Flush | Water level too low; flush valve not opening fully; chain too long. | Adjust the fill valve to raise the water level. Ensure the flush valve is installed correctly and the chain has proper tension. |
| Continuous Water Flow / Leakage | Flush valve not sealing properly; fill valve not shutting off; worn seals. | Inspect the flush valve for debris or damage and ensure it seats correctly. Check the fill valve for proper shut-off. Inspect and replace any worn seals. |
| Noisy Fill | High water pressure; loose components. | Ensure the fill valve is securely installed. If noise persists, consider installing a water pressure regulator for your home. |
