Some more plumbing advice, please.
I am getting a new boiler installed and this includes a Hot and Cold Chemical Flush of the system. Do I also need a Power Flush or is the Chemical Flush sufficient?
Hi,
I had a Duravit Sensowash bidet installed onto a concealed cistern, with Geberit Sigma 80 flush panel. I now have a problem that when the bidet's lid is opened, it covers the flush panel, and messes with it. Basically, even when the lid is lowered, the flush panel is not getting activated...
Hi. Plumbing question. My toilet is leaking into the pan at a very slow trickle. Not causing ripples in the pan.
Plumber removed flush valve.. not the basket.. fitted a flush master onto the random basket as the leak is still present. He determined it must be residual water sitting from the...
Hi everyone. Being driven mad by a leaking toilet. 2 in fact!! It’s not the fill valve over filling to the overflow so assume it’s the flush valve.
Anyone know what make this is? The fill valve says WDI so guess the flush might be the same? If it is, is there a compatible valve I can fit in the...
Hi,
My aunt asked me to have a look at her Geberit cistern which recently has suddenly stopped flushing on the short flush button. Long flush works normally as far as I can tell.
This is the flush mechanism (the label suggests PN 7074-98) , please excuse the mess:
Took the whole thing...

We are having a new heat exchanger fitted to a Veissmann boiler, the boiler is only six months old, the installers carried out a power flush but only after the boiler had been running for about a fortnight, then after six months it failed to heat radiators to temperature. Viessmann...
We had a plumber install a high rise low flow (1.6 gal / flush) toilet about a year ago. It worked fine for about 6 months. Since then, the plumber has been here 3 times because the toilet won't flush properly. The plumber has used a RIGID tool. He has replaced the ball cock and cleaned the...
I*ve had to replace the clip base of the flush assembly on my Thomas Dudley Vantage concealed cistern (the lugs that hold the flush assembly had broken off).
After talking to TD I was able to source the part and after a bit of a struggle I managed to get the broken one out but I’m struggling to...
Geberit Omega 82cm cisterns; 3 toilets - all the same. On the upper floors, the toilets flush sufficiently for the water to cover the full rim of the toilet and pan. On the ground floor, the flush seems weaker and the pan isn't fully rinsed by the flush. We've adjusted the flush volume but it...
I’ve got a vantage concealed cistern that had an intermittent problem a couple of years ago whereby the flush wouldn’t shut off and it continuously overflowed into the bowl. As it was a new build I had the builder send a plumber round to resolve the issue.
That worked until recently when it...
Hi,
For a while now one of my flush buttons on the toilet has started sticking down and so it just continues flushing. I can get it to pop back up by wiggling it around a bit but this is starting to get quite annoying.
Is there any part of the system I could easily replace myself that would fix...
It's a Thomas Dudley Vantage (TD 212-A) dual flush. Possibly getting on for 13 years old.
I'm not a plumber but I try to solve problems myself. I found members of this forum extremely helpful some years ago when I installed a replacement Mira shower - very proud of myself! I've had to sign up...
Hello,
BEFORE
I cleaned the system last year with a mains flush. There was a little inky stuff and a bit of sludge at the very end when I emptied out the rad I took off the wall, but no rads have ever had cold patches. Most pipes are hep20 but I had small section replaced by copper 2 years ago...
Can someone who has fitted a good number tell me what customer reaction is like?
Anyone seemed unimpressed or unhappy about the little handle or do people generally like them?
Thanks
Hi guys.
a few questions.
I’ve got a blocked system and am looking at a power flush to resolve it. Heat is getting to the flow tails and into the rads but I’d say at 50% of what they should be. Had a plumber attained and do everything possible ie check valves, TRVs, cleaned out rads with a...
Dear all
I’m a home owner looking for advice.
I recently had a power flush which was unsuccessful at clearing a blocked pipe. I do appreciate these things are not guaranteed.
My question is does time taken reflect on outcome?
The reason I need to understand this is the company employed...
Hi
The push button on my Wirquin flush stuck so in trying to release it I managed to break the button! See photos.
As it's also leaking into the pan should I just replace the whole mechanism?
If so, what is a good replacement?
And is it easy to replace?
Thanks for any help.

My house has consistently been plagued by leaky dual action cisterns since I bought it. The fact that the cisterns are firmly hidden away behind plasterboard walls with nothing but a small access hole where the faceplate of the cistern is located has never helped. I have finally taken the...
