- Disconnect the retaining cap from the valve inside the tank at the end of the float arm.
- When the retaining nut is located at the front of the cistern then you should see the diaphragm behind the cap.
- When the retaining nut is at the back of the tank then you need to move the cartridge assembly to get to the diaphram
- Now before you place the new diaphram make sure to clean all the parts in cold water first.
- Then reassemble the float valve and turn the the water back on.
