For Air-Operated Toilets:

1. Examine the Flapper Gasket: The flapper gasket ensures a tight seal between the flapper and the toilet base. Over time, it can degrade. Check for any signs of deterioration and replace the gasket if necessary.
2. Check the Flapper: The flapper is crucial for maintaining water in the bowl. Inspect it for wear and tear or improper sealing. If it appears damaged or worn out, replacing it may solve the problem.
3. Inspect the Air Cylinder: The air cylinder controls the flapper's operation. Ensure that it is functioning correctly and providing enough pressure to keep the flapper sealed when not flushing.
4. Consider a Replacement Kit: If multiple components show signs of wear, it might be more efficient to use a complete flapper replacement kit (90066-5) or air cylinder repair kit to fix your existing parts.

For Electric Toilets:

1. Flapper Check: Inspect the flapper to ensure it is not worn or damaged. A faulty flapper can fail to create a proper seal, allowing water to leak out of the bowl continuously. It is possible you may need a new flapper gasket.
2. Adjust the Clevis: If the flapper appears intact, the next step is to adjust the tension of the clevis. This adjustment helps in properly positioning the flapper so it can seal effectively after each flush. Improper clevis tension can prevent the flapper from seating correctly, causing the bowl to empty.
3. 3. Consider a Replacement Kit: If multiple components show signs of wear, it might be more efficient to use a complete flapper replacement kit (90066-3) to overhaul the relevant parts.

Both types of toilets may also benefit from a general inspection and cleaning to remove any debris or buildup that could impact functionality. If after these steps, your toilet still fails to retain water, it may be time to reach out to us for customer support and more specialized assistance.

Regular maintenance and prompt attention to these issues can help ensure your Microphor toilet operates efficiently, saving you time and discomfort in the long run.

As always, give us a call if you need assistance!

Identifying Issues:

First off, how is your toilet acting up? Hearing strange noises, incomplete flushes, or a constant running? These can all be signs that the sequence valve might be in distress.

Step 1: Listen and Look

Start simple: Listen for any unusual sounds and look for leaks. Air escaping where it shouldn't can be the first clue to problems. Check the valve for cracks on the body and near the straight fittings, overtightening the fittings can cause cracks.

Step 2: Pressure Checks

Next, check the water and air pressure. Incorrect pressure is a common culprit for poor flushing performance. Make sure that the air pressure is between 60-65 PSI, and that the water pressure is between 20-50 PSI.

Step 3: Clean, Inspect, and Lube

Debris and mineral deposits can jam everything up. A thorough cleaning might just be the fix your valve needs. During the clean, inspect for any signs of wear or visible damage. 

It is good to take it apart to make sure all of the parts are tightened enough, we have had complaints in the past where the piston is not tight enough to the spool which gives the cycle issues.

*Also, remember that all of the O-Rings inside of the valve need to be lubricated every year if you use the toilet often!*

Step 4: Replace if Needed

Sometimes, parts just wear out. If cleaning and lubricating doesn’t resolve the issue, consider either replacing your valve, or servicing the components of the valve. An Air and Water Sequence Valve rebuild kit provides all of the innards of the valve, saves you money, and makes it essentially brand new.

Wrap Up:

Regular checks and maintenance can save you from bigger headaches down the road. Keep your Microphor toilet’s brain in tip-top shape, and it will keep everything else running smoothly too. Here’s to a well-functioning toilet!
