draught through wc overflow

[dean.diy]

evening to the Forum. I put a rubber glove over the pipe. held by jubilee clip,
and cut tip off one finger. It lasts a couple of months and the customer gets
a warmer bathroom. Any ideas for a longer lasting solution apart from
fitting internal overflow style flush valve. Thanks, Dean.

2 elbows to dip the pipe below the water level

thanks RG and Tamz. Two elbows in the cistern looks good. Checked up the hepo
on fleebay, looks like it should have its own batteries. But another solution.
