Rimless toilets offer superior hygiene as there's no hidden rim for bacteria and limescale to accumulate. They are also significantly easier to clean, requiring just a simple wipe around the bowl.
The short projection is ideal for smaller bathrooms, cloakrooms, and en-suites where space is limited. Ensure you measure your available space to confirm it fits comfortably without obstructing doorways or other fixtures.
The toilet features two buttons on the cistern lid. Pressing the smaller button initiates a reduced 3-litre flush for liquid waste, while pressing the larger button activates the full 6-litre flush for solid waste.
Yes, the seat is designed with a quick-release mechanism. Typically, you'll find release buttons on the hinges. Press these buttons to detach the seat for thorough cleaning of both the seat and the pan.
Periodically check the water level and ensure the flush buttons operate smoothly. If leaks occur, the internal cistern components (like the float valve or flush valve) may need adjustment or replacement, which is often a straightforward task for a plumber.
The 5-year manufacturer's guarantee typically covers manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship under normal use. It usually excludes consumable parts, accidental damage, or issues arising from improper installation or maintenance.
For cleaning the seat itself, you will typically only need a soft cloth and a mild soap solution. No specialized tools are required for regular cleaning or for using the quick-release function.
Check the water level in the cistern; it should be at the marked fill line. Ensure the dual-flush mechanism is correctly seated and the flush pipe is clear. You may need to adjust the float valve or the flush valve depending on the specific issue.
Verify that the seat is correctly fitted onto the pan hinges. Ensure no obstructions are preventing the hinge mechanism from operating smoothly. The hinges may require cleaning or replacement if damaged.
This usually indicates a problem with the flush valve seal. Inspect the seal for wear or debris. The overflow pipe might also be set too high, causing excess water to drain away. Adjust the float valve accordingly.
Avoid using abrasive cleaning materials or tools. If minor scratches appear, they can sometimes be polished out using a ceramic polish, but caution is advised to prevent further damage.
This typically points to an issue with the wax ring seal or the floor bolts. The toilet may need to be unbolted, lifted, and a new wax ring installed. Ensure floor bolts are tightened evenly.
Setup: Installation of the Aquarius K-Series toilet should ideally be performed by a qualified plumber to ensure correct connections to the water supply and waste pipe, and to guarantee a watertight seal. Ensure the floor is level before fitting.
Compatibility: This close-coupled toilet requires a standard UK cistern connection and a waste pipe outlet. Check the rough-in measurements and the required space for the short projection design against your bathroom dimensions before purchase.
Care: To maintain the toilet's appearance and hygiene:
