Think the easest answer to that is replace it , they only cost pennys and saves a lot of bother to from the wife

Hi,

Yes the float in those type of cisterns is different to the standard type.

Are you sure that the float is the problem as the float operates a valve?

It sounds more like the valve is faulty.

I'd suggest either getting a plumber to have a look or contact saniflow for a repair kit.

A lot of the big manufactures have web sites with fitting diagrams and a spare parts list so you may be able to order direct or they will have a list of suppliers.
