Troubleshooting

Cistern tank not filling at all or to the required level

  1. Check the water supply has been turned back on and is reaching the cistern.
  2. Adjust the fill level on the cistern as required.
  3. The filter on the inlet valve could be blocked.
  4. If none of these resolve the issue replace the inlet valve.

Flush volume into the pan, not sufficient

  1. Adjust the flush volume level on the syphon.
  2. Check that the syphon is opening correctly.
  3. Check that the tubes are connected to the correct inlet on the flush plate.
  4. If none of these resolve the issue replace the syphon.

Water running into the pan continually after flushing

  1. Establish if the water level in the cistern is reaching the overflow on the syphon, if it  does, adjust the inlet valve.
  2. If this continues, replace the inlet valve.
  3. If the water level does not reach the overflow on the syphon, remove the top  section of the syphon and check the washer for damage.
  4. If damaged replace.

Maintenance

The maintenance measures below require you to gain access to the internals of the cistern tank, and for the water supply to be turned off.

  • Once you have gained access, turn the adjustment screw in the required direction to adjust the tank fill volume.
  • If you need to replace the inlet valve, disconnect the water supply pipe and remove the retaining nut, which holds the inlet valve to the tank and pull the inlet valve from the tank.
  • To clear the filter, unscrew the filter section from the inlet valve as shown and run under warm water using a brush to clean away any blockage.?

  • It is recommended to remove the pneumatic tubes from the syphon to carry out maintenance.
  • To do this, pull each tube from the inlet on the top of the syphon, do not allow these to drop back into the tank.
  • To remove the syphon, you will only need to remove the top section, which requires you to twist and lift.
  • To adjust the flush volume, move the slider as shown below.
  • To remove the washer, turn the syphon upside down and the washer from the housing.
