What is a Cistern Mechanism?

A cistern mechanism is the heart of the toilet. It consists of a set of parts that, when activated, allow the filling and emptying of the toilet's water tank, enabling the hygienic and effective flushing of waste. Modern mechanisms offer various options to adjust the amount of water used in each flush, contributing to water savings with each use.

Features of a Cistern Mechanism

Here are the main features of the cistern mechanisms we offer:

• Water Efficiency: Our cistern mechanisms are designed with the latest water-saving technology. Thanks to dual flush systems and volume adjustments, you can significantly reduce water consumption in your home, thus contributing to environmental care and saving on your water bills.
• Durability and Resistance: The manufacturing materials of our cistern mechanisms ensure a long lifespan and excellent corrosion resistance. They are designed to withstand continuous use and provide optimal performance over time.
• Easy Installation: Our cistern mechanisms are easy to install, even for those with little DIY experience. Each product comes with detailed instructions and a complete assembly kit so you can carry out the installation without complications.
• Universal Compatibility: We work with recognised brands, so our cistern mechanisms are compatible with a wide range of cistern models and brands. No matter what type of cistern you have, you are likely to find the right mechanism in our store.

Advantages of a Cistern Mechanism

• Water and Money Savings: As mentioned earlier, our cistern mechanisms offer dual flush options and volume adjustments, allowing you to reduce your daily water consumption. This is not only beneficial for the environment but also translates into significant savings on your water bills over time.
• Improved Functionality: A well-maintained cistern mechanism ensures smooth and efficient operation of your toilet. You will no longer have to deal with issues such as water leaks or partial flushes, providing you with peace of mind and comfort in your home.
• Environmental Contribution: By choosing a water-saving cistern mechanism, you are actively contributing to the conservation of this vital resource. Reducing water consumption is a shared responsibility, and your choice can make a difference.
• Avoid Future Problems: Replacing a damaged cistern mechanism in time can prevent major problems in the future. A leaking cistern can cause damage in the bathroom and waste water unnecessarily. By installing a new and efficient mechanism, you will avoid costly repairs in the long term.

Types of Cistern Mechanisms

Electronic Cistern Mechanism

This innovative mechanism has the ability, through a sensor in its button, to automatically activate the cistern mechanism without the need for manual action, as the electronic flush manages it without the need for contact.

Dual Button Cistern Mechanism

This mechanism is ideal in places where water savings and environmental contribution are desired, with two flush capacities, one button for smaller and another for larger water flushes. It's the best seller!

Simple Cistern Mechanism

This toilet cistern mechanism is the traditional one, with a single button and no flush adjustment capability. This type of system is widely used in public places or with high foot traffic.

Universal Cistern Mechanism

It is ideal if our toilet does not have a compatible cistern mechanism or if we do not want to purchase the one proposed by the brand. They come with different features, although they are usually quite simple and of standard dimensions to fit any toilet without installation issues. The box usually includes different button diameters to fit any toilet without causing installation inconveniences.

How to Change a Cistern Mechanism

To give you a brief overview of how to change a cistern mechanism, we present a series of instructions that, if you have basic DIY skills, you can follow these steps to carry out the installation yourself:

1. Gather the Necessary Tools: Before starting, make sure you have all the necessary tools at hand. The most commonly used include an adjustable wrench, screwdrivers, and a sponge.

2. Shut Off the Water Supply: Before disconnecting the old mechanism, make sure to shut off the water supply to the cistern. This will prevent any water leaks during the replacement process.

3. Empty the Cistern: Flush the toilet to completely empty the water from the cistern before proceeding to dismantle the old mechanism.

4. Dismantle the Old Mechanism: Loosen the nuts holding the current mechanism in place. Carefully remove the old parts to avoid damaging the cistern.

5. Install the New Mechanism: Follow the instructions provided with the new mechanism. Generally, you will need to place the rubber gaskets and secure the new mechanism in place with the provided nuts.

6. Connect the Water Supply: Once the new mechanism is correctly installed, reopen the water supply and check for leaks.

7. Final Adjustments: Make the necessary settings to ensure the mechanism works correctly. Test the flush and adjust the water amount according to your preferences and needs.
