Toilet flush not convincing..
Hello. I have just fitted a new toilet. the flush works but without
any real pressure. Water just trickles out from around the pan. Is there any way to increase the flow of water out? or are these standard? |

Not sure on this one quite yet. It hasn't yet been used fully. It is
a 2nd toilet installed outside. It was connected to the existing drains where the old outdoor toilets used to be. I think i need to try it in operation i guess. |

If it conserves water and does it's job that would regularly save a couple of revolutions of the water meter. -- I've 'just' done an experiment ..... time to empty the cistern = seven seconds ... time for cistern to refill twenty-eight seconds !

The last thing you need with a Full House is an unconvincing flush.

Nuffin fell dahn the 'ole before you put it together, did it? which 'ole is that then? Please sort out your quoting when you post. The hole I mean is the one at the back of the WC bowl, which the cistern sits on. |
