How to stop the Geberit flushing system from hissing

toilet

Our toilet will often go into a mood and start hissing. This will go on until I manually operate the filling mechanism to fill the tank higher.

I suspect that it is somehow not filling enough and then slowly leaking until a point where it just triggers the filling mechanism to create the hiss. However, there is no leak into the bowl, and I do not know why the top of the post (as seen in the video) is spurting water.

Video: Hiss is about 4-seconds in.

Any ideas?

The flapper might move a little to the side when flushing, so you fix it it manually. Have the same thing with my TOTO 1.4 gpf. Changed the flapper several months ago, the hissing stopped for a while, now started again. I washed the flapper with lemon juice and soap to remove any calcium carbonate that might accumulate - it reduced the frequency of the hissing but didn't solve it completely. I guess it is the flapper/flush opening contact that got lousy. Maybe a thin gasket would do the trick. Tell you when I check.

Good luck!
