Title: Help on Toilet fill Valves?
Post by books on Aug 7^th, 2010, 1:56pm

The problem is, that I have to replace the fill valve on my toilet & am looking for the quietest & best valve on the market.
This is because bathroom is right next to bedroom & each time its used it’s very noisy when just filling up at night wakes every one up in house.

I had a Torbeck EcoFil valve, which did not operate properly & was noisy when filling up & at end of filling there was a clunk/thump noise, which seemed to come from the valve. I do not have water hammer problems & old Valve did not make this noise. So not confident on Torbecks.

I have read that Siamp, Lavelle, Armitage Shanks range of valves can be very quiet but really have no idea at all which on market is quietest & best.

I would be grateful for any help/advice on quietest & best bottom entry (for high & low water pressure) toilet fill valve that is available, that would resolve both problems I have with the current fill valve. :-?

Get the standard Torbeck valve, not the ecofil. ;D
