Barney12 Posted September 30, 2019 Share Posted September 30, 2019 Hi all I'm guessing this might be a question for our resident Welsh plumber @Nickfromwales A friend has just moved into a new house. It has a Geberit concealed cistern but the flush is rather "slugish". The push button is rather stiff (its as though you're pushing against air pressure) and to be frank the ooooomph action is rather lacking resulting in just one too many "floaters" the cover plate looks like this: From the joys of Google it looks like its one of these units (and certainly is a visual match)....... https://www.amazon.co.uk/Geberit-Concealed-Cistern-Pneumatic-109-720-00-1/dp/B00B9J1XIO Can anyone tell me where best to start before I start randomly swapping parts? Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Modern, low flush volume, toilets do seem to be far less effective at dealing with buoyant stuff. Having to flush two or three times rather defeats the point of having a low volume flush, IMHO.

Onoff Posted September 30, 2019 Share Posted September 30, 2019 (edited) Split air hose? When you flush do the buttons return promptly and fully? Are you pushing against air or water? Edited September 30, 2019 by Onoff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Temp Posted September 30, 2019 Share Posted September 30, 2019 The water level might be adjustable. If not already done, raise the float until the water level is a little below the top of the overflow tube. The air valve on ours isn't exactly easy to push in but it depends what you are used to.

Onoff Posted September 30, 2019 Share Posted September 30, 2019 Are the push buttons themselves crudded up? Disassemble and spray with some silicone spray? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See what doesnt happen. Oh, and by the way, eat just a small amount of corn on the cob at the same time. (Used as a transit marker). 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did have an eye waterer that sounded heavy, but we about a yard long. That is my back yard, not the distance from my nose to fingertip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
