Hi
 
My tolilet tank (cistern) takes a long time to refill, over 5 minutes, the water release to refill the tank is very slow.  Any suggestions/resolutions would be appreciated.
 
Thanks in advance.

You have a regular ballcock. Sop this.  Shut the water voff to the tank, remove the three screws and pull the float ball and stem assembly up. Place a can over the top of the ballcock and turn the water back on.  Do you get a strong stream? No? Then Poke a wire down through the open ballcock.  If you run into any obstruction then replace the ballcock.  Good luck,  Tom
