What type of flush system does the Alpha cistern have?

Does this frame include a toilet bowl?

Is an acoustic mat included?

Yes, an acoustic mat is included with the frame for noise reduction.

Can this be installed in a standard stud wall?

Yes, the Duofix frame is designed for installation within various wall types, including stud walls, provided it is properly secured according to the installation manual.

How do I access the cistern for maintenance?

Access to the cistern for maintenance is typically gained through the flush plate opening.

Troubleshooting

No water filling the cistern

Check that the water supply valve is open and that there are no kinks in the inlet hose.

Cistern not flushing properly

Ensure the flush button mechanism is correctly seated and that the flush valve is free from debris. Check water level in the cistern.

Leaking from the cistern or flush pipe

Inspect all connections for tightness. Check seals and gaskets for wear or damage. Professional inspection may be required.

Noise during filling or flushing

Ensure the acoustic mat is correctly installed. Check for any loose components that might be vibrating. The product inherently includes noise dampening features.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Water-saving dual-flush system promotes environmental responsibility and reduced utility bills.
  • Concealed cistern design offers a sleek, minimalist look by hiding plumbing.
  • Includes acoustic insulation for quieter operation.
  • Durable metal construction ensures long-term reliability and structural integrity.
  • Suitable for creating accessible bathrooms with wall-hung toilets.

Cons

  • Requires professional installation due to the concealed nature and plumbing connections.
  • Specific height and depth requirements for installation space must be met.
  • Access for maintenance or repairs to the cistern may require opening the wall.
  • Higher initial cost compared to traditional floor-mounted toilet setups.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Installation requires mounting the frame to the floor and wall according to manufacturer guidelines. The cistern is then connected to the water supply, and the flush pipe is connected to the wall-hung toilet. Final wall finishing (e.g., tiling) conceals the frame and cistern.

Compatibility: This frame is designed for use with standard wall-hung toilets. Ensure that the chosen toilet bowl's rough-in and mounting points are compatible with the frame's support system. The cistern requires a standard water supply connection.

Care: The concealed cistern and frame are largely maintenance-free. For cleaning the visible toilet bowl, use standard bathroom cleaners. Access to the cistern for maintenance is typically through the flush plate access panel. Avoid abrasive cleaners on any visible components.
