Slow filling toilet cistern?

Newly fitted B&Q Barcelona suite. Full power on incoming water from tank. Dual flush valve Skipper 45 and bottom inlet valve Compact 99B made by SI-AMP, Monaco. Takes 5 minutes for cistern to refill. HELP. Am wondering if it being a continental suite, the inlet fitting is for mains filling rather than tank. What can we do????

Thanks for taking the time to answer. All those things done but no improvement and so fitted a Torbeck. Unfortunately faulty and wouldn't stop filling!!! Replacement perfect. What a difference. Quiet and fast. Would recommend this route to anyone. Thanks again.

not sure what the float valve is like on your one
but it sounds like you have the mains valve inside instead of the gravity one
which the gravity one is red, large hole--- mains is white with small hole.


but if it is a basic cheapo valve just fit a new one. least you can get the parts later on if needed.
