    Cistern leaking water to seat area when I flush

    Hi Guys, I have a toilet where when you flush, the water from the cistern leaks out from a section of the cistern at the bottom where the seat area begins at the top just before the bowl. Was wondering how this could be happening or how it could be fixed?

    How can I remove this flush valve?

    I've got water trickling into the pan of a toilet. The cistern water level is nowhere near the overflow pipe, so I suspect there's a faulty seal at the bottom of the flush valve (a Geberit model). However, I am unable to detach the flush unit to check. There don't seem to be any side clips to...

    Can it tell if system flush done or not?

    Hi, I had my new boiler and 13 radiators installed in July last year, but since installed all the radiators always top half hot and bottom half cold or warm.

    Touchless Flush kits for pneumatic push button flush

    Does anyone know of any options for touchless flush kits (battery powered) for a Dudley push button, pneumatic flush? The Dudley one is well over £300 which seems really expensive when there are kits out there for non-pneumatic systems at less than £50.
