Amulet is a popular graphic novel series created by Kazu Kibuishi. It is aimed at a young audience and has gained a loyal following since its publication in 2008. The series follows the adventures of Emily and her younger brother Navin as they navigate a magical world filled with creatures and mysteries. The story begins with Emily and Navin moving to a new house after their father's death. They discover a mysterious amulet in the basement, which grants them special powers and transports them to a fantastical land called Alledia. In this world, they encounter a variety of strange creatures, including elves, robots, and talking animals.
Nope, this one works by depressing half-way for water to fill bowl.
Have owned the rig for 7 years now and it just started acting up last year, thought the rod was binding on the back of the toilet so shaved away a bit of the area with a utility knife to give a little more clearance and that helped. Not this year though, acting up first time using it. Greasing up the slot does not help.
While playing with the unit to see what the problem might be, I could put just a bit of pressure on the arm that does the water flow and the operation was normal rod slides down a slot in this lever to add water and when rod reaches the end of the slot, opens the ball valve to flush. De-winterized a week or so ago and this year the toilet would not hold water along with the issue of flushing immediately upon depressing the flush pedal.
In this world, they encounter a variety of strange creatures, including elves, robots, and talking animals. Throughout the series, Emily and Navin must use their newfound abilities to battle against dark forces and protect the people of Alledia. They are joined by a diverse group of allies, each with their own unique skills and strengths.

I will be replacing the seal on the ball valve soon as it does not hold water in bowl reliably, and will see if I can scope any issue with flusher.
Wondering if anyone else has had a similar problem and what the fix might be.

That's how some of them work.

While the part description didn't say so, it was packaged with a new floor seal, so you may not need to order that separately. Got the part on Amazon for about $20.
Not as bad of a job as I had imagined.
De-winterized a week or so ago and this year the toilet would not hold water along with the issue of flushing immediately upon depressing the flush pedal. Talked to Thetford and ordered both a new ball seal and a new water control valve. Replaced both parts tonight and toilet is working like new.
I think the real issue was the ball seal. While playing with the unit to see what the problem might be, I could put just a bit of pressure on the arm that does the water flow and the operation was normal (rod slides down a slot in this lever to add water and when rod reaches the end of the slot, opens the ball valve to flush). I think the new ball valve seal added enough pressure on the ball valve that the rod slid down the slot and worked as designed. Similar to what I did with my finger on the lever arm, the extra sealing tension of the seal to the ball valve allowed the rod to go down the slot, add water as designed, and then open the ball valve when the rod reached the end of the slot. And now it holds water just fine.
So, my suggestion, if your foot flush valve is getting finicky about just adding water, first I would change the ball valve seal and lube the rod while you have it all apart. The extra tension of the new seal on the ball valve may be just enough to cause the "add water" function to return to normal.

1. John - 2 stars - I was really disappointed with the Amulet graphic novel series. The artwork was beautiful, but the storyline just fell flat for me. It felt like the characters were underdeveloped and the plot was predictable. I had high hopes for this series, but it just didn't live up to the hype.
2. Emily - 1 star - I cannot understand what all the fuss is about. The Amulet graphic novel series was such a disappointment. The artwork was the only redeeming quality, but even that couldn't save the lackluster storyline. The characters were one-dimensional and the plot was overly simplistic. I expected much more from this series.
3. Sarah - 2 stars - I found the Amulet graphic novel series to be quite overrated. While the artwork was impressive, the storyline felt disjointed and rushed. The characters lacked depth and their actions often felt forced. I struggled to connect with the story and ultimately found it to be a letdown.
4. Michael - 2 stars - I was unimpressed by the Amulet graphic novel series. The illustrations were stunning, but the story itself was lackluster. The plot lacked originality and the characters were forgettable. I kept hoping it would get better as I progressed through the series, but unfortunately, it never did. Overall, I wouldn't recommend it.
