Advice on enclosed cisterns

[Paul Cockhill]

HI

Does anyone have any recommendations for the most powerful enclosed cistern. I have installed a WC unit with a cistern that has a cable flush cistern. It does flush, but might take 2 flushes to get rid of all the waste and often the water only washes down the front of the WC pan , not all around the pan. I have found that cisterns with a pneumatic system, two tubes that connect to a flush plate are sometimes better. Can anyone recommend a make or model of enclosed cistern which gives a strong flush

Thanks

Paul

It's not the flushing levers or pneumatics that are the problem with your cistern - it probably the cistern itself.
There are adjustments that can be made to increase the flush volume on the outlet valve.
You may need to do this.

For a fact, I have given up working on them.
I now tell the customer to call the manufacturer for repairs.

Thanks Oz, but have made the adjustments and still no difference

That is a shame. Have you managed to fix it?

Have you checked the pan inlet jets or flush pipe (if there is one) for restricton? Have you installed a 6 litre flush onto an old style pan?

Hi
Thanks for the suggestion. It is a 6 litre flush but a completely new unit with new pan and cistern. I have not checked the inlet jets or flush pipe but will do

Many thanks
