Hi. Just about to connect the cistern and came round to fitting the filter restrictor. At first I couldn't push it in to the inlet, however it just needed a little push.
Is that normal?
More importantly, the instructions state you should cut it down accordingly, depending on the water pressure.
I don't know what pressure it is to the toilet and no gauge to measure it

What should I do?

TBH I never fit them just install a good quality fill valve eg fluid master
 
How crucial is it?
Can I not fit it without cutting it down?
I assume it will just fill really slowly if the pressure is low. Is that correct.
I can take it out later and cut it down.
 
You can try it as is and see how you get on and as you say if it's slow remove and either leave or cut down

Can't connect cistern inlet connector because of inlet filter
Hi. I think the title says it all really. I was just lining up pipework and stuff and noticed that the Speedfit 15mm X 1/2 BSP tap connector won't connect to the cistern inlet because the inlet filter protrudes out too far to allow the rubber washer on the connector to sit against the outer...

I recently read a post / comment whereby there was a recommendation that if you are away from your home more than 24 hours, then you should turn the water off to avoid potential catastrophic damage. When I go away I have always tended to turn ours off, that's typically anything from a couple of...

I live in Azerbaijan and am looking to revamp the water system in my house. The first thing is that I don't have a water meter - probably a good thing as my mother in law pours tonnes of water on the garden in summer, mostly watering weeds as she can't tell the difference from grass. But the...
