Hello, and welcome to ‘how to’ with Korky. Today, we will teach you how a fill valve works. The fill valve brings water from the water supply line into the toilet tank and bowl. Over the years, fill valves have varied in design. A common model found in older toilets is the ballcock. It has an external ball-shaped float that extends away from the valve and sits on top of the water. As time went on, the fill valve design evolved. Newer valves, like the Korky QuietFILL fill valve, have an internal float which condenses the overall design of the fill valve and has a more precise shut off than traditional ballcocks. When the toilet is flushed, water empties out of the tank and into the toilet bowl. As the water level goes down, the float in the fill valve goes down too, allowing water to flow into the tank. Water is now leaving the tank faster than the water comes in. Once the flapper has sealed the flush valve drain opening, the tank can refill. As the tank refills, a small amount of water is being emptied through the refill tube and into the overflow pipe. This water empties directly into the toilet bowl to refill. Once the tank has refilled, the float lifts and stops water flowing into the tank. Different water ratios are required in the bowl and tank depending on the toilet model. Newer fill valves, like the Korky Platinum fill valve, feature a refill adjuster that matches the original water ratio of your toilet. Adjustment ranges from 0% to 40% of the water sent to the bowl. When using these fill valves, it is important that you send enough water to the bowl to cover the bowl opening. This ensures a powerful flush and prevents sewer gases from leaking into the bathroom.
