FAQs

What tools do I need to install the valve?

You'll typically need a screwdriver, a wrench, and possibly pliers. A bucket and sponge might be useful to clean up any spills during the process.

How do I adjust the water level?

The water level is adjusted by moving the float up or down. Most valves have a clip or screw to secure the float in the desired position. Follow the instructions provided with the valve.

What if the valve leaks after installation?

Check all connections for tightness and ensure the washers are correctly seated. Also, inspect the valve itself for any cracks or damage. If the leak persists, you may need to replace the valve.

Can I use this valve with a dual-flush toilet?

Yes, this valve is generally compatible with dual-flush toilets, but always verify the dimensions and fit before installation.

What is the warranty period?

The FixTheBog Skylo Side Entry Float Valve comes with a 10-year warranty.

How do I clean the inlet filter?

Turn off the water supply, then remove the valve from the inlet. Clean the filter under running water to remove any sediment or debris.

Troubleshooting

Toilet not filling

Check the water supply valve and ensure it's fully open. Inspect the fill valve for blockages or debris and clean if necessary. Also, verify that the float is set to the correct height and isn't obstructed.

Toilet is running continuously

Check for leaks around the flapper valve and the fill valve. Adjust the float level to ensure it's not set too high, which could cause overflow. Examine the fill valve for any damage or wear that may prevent it from shutting off properly.
