If you have a Gaberit rinse that loses water, you’re probably making the same mistake as thousands of people. And no, it is not the fault of the product – which is rather the best on the market – but how you use it.
The most common problem: press the button too strong
Most people think that to make the breakths work well, you have to forcefully press the button. Wrong! Geberit mechanisms are designed to activate with light and decisive pressure. When pressing too strong, the system can jam and not completely close the valve.
The error of the poorly used double exhaust
Gaberit jacks almost always have the dual Flush system (double unloading). The small button for liquids, the large one for solids. It seems easy, right? Yet many users press both buttons together “to be sure”. This confuses the internal mechanism and can cause continuous losses.
Do not make maintenance = guaranteed problems
Another huge mistake is to think that these devices do not need maintenance. Even the most expensive geberit accumulates limestone over time. If the water in your area is particularly hard, the problem comes first. The solution? A cleaning every 6 months with specific products.
How to press the button correctly
The right technique is this: press the appropriate button with a decisive but not violent movement, keep for a second and releases. You don’t need to insist, you don’t need to press several times in a row. The mechanism has its time.
When calling the technician (and when not)
If after correcting the way of using the jacking, the problem persists, there may be an internal defect. But before calling the plumber, try removing the power supply for a few hours. Many losses are simply like this.
The trick that nobody tells you
Here is the secret: if you feel that the water continues to flow even after the drain, do not immediately shoot the button. Wait a few seconds. The system needs time to completely reset.
Following these tips, your Gaberit jack should return to work perfectly. And remember: these devices are designed to last decades, but only if you use them in the right way.
