Toilet fittings
« on: 15 March 2010, 11:59:51 »
Our toilet flush is playing up, syphon not great, inlet valve has gone noisy, so the whole innards needs replacing.


Been looking at the newer 'flapper' style systems -  Fluidmaster / torbeck.

anyone got much experience of em?

Got a fluidmaster fitted here, absolutely love it. A little push button and whoosh, 7 litres at force. Been fitted about 3 years now and still fine.

I work for Screwfix and the second option you have highlighted is very popular as an aftermarket 'upgrade' when the previous system has failed. :y

cheers.

We are gonna go for the button kit, that's a good idea.

not sure whether to go for the newer flapper style with the one push option, or the syphonny type dual flush.
