The Common Problems Faced With Cisterns And The Possible Remedies

We all have cisterns at our bathroom and face specific issues with that. It is best to know the common problems encountered and the idea remedies so that we can overcome those easily. The first and foremost thing that we need to keep in mind is that not all cistern problems necessitate a complete replacement of the cistern. Using Geberit spares, we can solve many such problems.

The common cistern problems faced

The first thing that you need to understand when you have a cistern problem is whether the problem suddenly happened or was it from the very beginning. If you see that that problem is from the very beginning, then there must be some problem with the installation and if it suddenly happened, then it may be wear and tear, the cause. If you feel that wear and tear is the cause then having Geberit spares can solve the problem.

Let us see the problems that we generally face while using a cistern.

Non-flushing cistern

This is the most common problem that we face. After using a toilet if we see that the cistern is not working, then we become puzzled as to what to do. The cause of the problem may be a faulty syphon system. If we replace the syphon system, then we can have relief from the situation. Again, it may be a problem with the diaphragm or the valve allowing water to enter the cistern.

Slow filling of the cistern

Generally, a cistern takes two minutes to fill. If we notice that it is taking long, then there is a problem. The cause of the problem may be the ball valve that supplies water in the cistern. It can also be that a wrong valve nozzle has a fitting, which does not allow proper inflow of water. Again, clogging of the valve and pipe can also be the cause of the problem. You can easily replace these parts having Geberit spares from reputed distributors.

Water overflows from the cistern 

If you notice that water is overflowing from the cistern, then the problem lies with the ball valve or the float. The ball valve or float regulates the flow of water into the cistern when it is empty. The float stops the flow of water when the cistern is full. If there is a defect with the ball valve or the float, then water will continue to flow and the cistern will overflow. You can easily change the ball valve or the float having spares from reputed stores dealing with toilet spares.

Flush not clearing the pan

If you notice that, the flush is not clearing the pan then also you become puzzled as to what to do. The cause may be that the type of cistern you use requires holding the handle for a certain period for a full flush and you are not doing so. However, a broken, downpipe may be the cause of the problem. You can replace the broken pipe having spares from reputed stores dealing with toilet spares.
