The Toilet

There are essentially four operations that an amateur might consider performing on his toilet : replacing the mechanism that controls the water flowing out of the water closet, replacing the mechanism that controls the flow of water into the water closet, fixing a leak in the drain pipe, and unblocking it. All of these are fairly straightforward, as long as you understand the flow of water, and do not have to break through walls to reach the relevant portion of the circuit.

The first operation you would typically perform if there is a small leak at the bottom of your water closet tank, causing your toilet to flush now and then for no apparent reason. The second replacement you would do if you for instance don't hear your water tank fill anymore. The third you would do if you or your downstairs neighbour is bothered by water or funny smells, and it will be clear to you when to engage in the fourth.
