Frequently Asked Questions

1. What is a cistern?

A cistern is the water storage tank attached to or hidden behind your toilet. It holds the water needed for flushing and is connected to the toilet bowl via a flush mechanism. When activated, it releases water into the bowl to clear waste effectively. Cisterns come in various types, including exposed and concealed designs, depending on your bathroom layout and style preferences.

2. What is a cistern toilet?

A cistern toilet refers to a toilet system that uses a cistern to store and release water for flushing. It can either have a visible (close-coupled) cistern or a concealed cistern hidden behind a wall or inside a unit. Cistern toilets are available in a variety of styles, including wall-hung and back-to-wall options, offering both practicality and aesthetic appeal.

3. How do you remove a toilet cistern?

To remove a toilet cistern, first ensure the water supply is turned off and the cistern is fully emptied by flushing. Disconnect the water inlet pipe and unscrew the fixings securing the cistern to the wall and toilet pan. Carefully lift the cistern away. If you're unsure, it's best to consult a professional plumber to avoid any plumbing issues or damage to your system.

4. How can I stop condensation on my toilet cistern?

Condensation on a toilet cistern is often caused by warm air meeting the cold surface of the cistern. To reduce this, you can try insulating the inside of the cistern or using a condensation jacket. Improving ventilation in your bathroom—such as opening a window or installing an extractor fan—can also help reduce moisture build-up in the air.

5. How do I access a concealed toilet cistern?

Accessing a concealed cistern is usually done through the flush plate or an access panel built into the wall or furniture unit. Most modern systems are designed with maintenance in mind, allowing you to remove the flush plate to reach the internal components for servicing or repairs. Always refer to the manufacturer’s instructions, and if needed, consult a professional for assistance.
