FAQs

Is the toilet seat included?

Yes, the Cooke & Lewis Helena comes with a matching white soft-close seat.

Does it save water?

Yes, it features a dual flush system that allows you to choose between two different flush volumes.

Why choose an open back toilet?

Open back toilets offer easier access to the pipework and waste outlet during and after installation.

How do I clean the exterior of the bowl?

Use a non-abrasive bathroom cleaner and a soft cloth to protect the glazed ceramic finish.

Can I replace the seat later?

Yes, the seat is replaceable, though it is recommended to check for compatibility with Cooke & Lewis mounting specs.

Troubleshooting

Toilet seat lid slams shut

Check if the soft-close hinges are obstructed or if the screws have loosened over time; tighten as necessary.

Water continues to run into the bowl

Ensure the dual flush valve is properly seated and that the float in the cistern is not obstructed by debris.

Wobbling base

Ensure the floor is level and use shims if necessary; tighten the floor-mounted bolts securely.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Dual flush mechanism promotes water efficiency
  • Soft-close lid reduces noise and potential damage
  • Open-back design simplifies plumbing access
  • Includes a matching seat for a complete aesthetic

Cons

  • Open-back design may collect more dust behind the unit compared to back-to-wall models
  • Requires precise measurement of waste pipe alignment
  • Standard white finish may show marks more easily than textured surfaces

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure a successful installation, confirm that your existing soil pipe position aligns with the outlet of the toilet. Always use a professional-grade wax ring or rubber seal during installation to prevent leaks. Compatibility should be verified for both horizontal and vertical soil pipe configurations. For care, avoid using abrasive cleaning pads or harsh chemicals that can scratch the ceramic finish or damage the plastic seat components. Use a soft cloth with mild, non-bleach detergent to maintain the white finish and ensure the soft-close hinges are wiped clean to prevent salt buildup or grime accumulation.
