    Hi,
    My handpump toilet was notdrawing in much water so I took the plastic pump apart and found a fairly basic valve assembly.

    Here are the photos - maybe you recognise it ?

    It looks a bit worn out - can I get a new one of these plastic things sent to me in the post from somewhere ?

    Thanks
    David.

    Get the manufacturers name and Google it. If they are still in business, they most likely have an online parts supply.

    Just to let you all know - that a truck inner tube seems to be doing the job !

    Here is what I did - in pictures
