🚽 Toilet Tank
A Toilet tank is the upper part of a toilet that holds water used for flushing. When you press the handle, water from the tank flows into the bowl to remove waste.
🧩 Main Parts Inside a Toilet Tank
- Fill Valve – refills the tank after each flush
- Float – controls the water level
- Flapper – opens to release water into the bowl
- Flush Valve – directs water from tank to bowl
- Overflow Tube – prevents the tank from overfilling
🔄 How It Works
- You press the handle
- The flapper lifts → water rushes into the bowl
- Tank empties → float drops
- Fill valve opens → tank refills with water
- Float rises → shuts off water at the right level
⚠️ Common Problems
- Running toilet → faulty flapper or fill valve
- Weak flush → low water level or clog
- Leaking tank → worn seals or cracks
- No refill → broken fill valve
💡 Maintenance Tips
- Check for leaks by adding food coloring to the tank (if color appears in bowl, there’s a leak)
- Clean mineral buildup from parts
- Replace worn components every few years
