I replaced the toilet with one from B&Q ( toilet to go) and the flow when refilling, after it has flushed, is really poor compared to the old one which I removed. It does eventually refill, but I wondered if there was anything which I have done wrong, or whether this the way it is designed?I also noticed that the flush is a lot less, but it works OK.
Many modern float valves have a water restrictor fitted. It looks like a spiral that is pushed up the inlet pipe.
If you have low water pressure to the house, and this device is fitted, it can be removed.
This is assuming that you have already dismantled the valve and checked that no debris has accidentally entered the supply pipe during installation and blocked the valve.
New toilets are designed to save water and consequently require considerably less than older pans for a successful flush.
