Maintenance Tip
If your Geberit valve is slow to fill or won't shut off, the internal diaphragm may be blocked by limescale or debris. While the whole valve is easy to replace, you can also service the internal washer. For optimal performance, we recommend checking the internal filter screen annually in hard water areas.
