Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is this syphon compatible with all cisterns?

No, it is specifically designed for 9-inch deep cisterns and will not fit shallower or non-standard configurations.

Does this unit include a new washer?

Yes, it is recommended to replace the sealing washer whenever installing a new syphon to prevent leaks.

Can this be used in a dual-flush toilet?

No, this is a single-flush syphon and is not compatible with dual-flush systems.

What tools are needed for installation?

You typically need a pair of pliers or a basin wrench to tighten the nuts, and a cloth to clean the ceramic surface.

How often should I replace my syphon?

There is no set schedule, but if you notice leaks, a weak flush, or mechanical stiffness, it is likely time for a replacement.

Troubleshooting

Water continues to flow into the bowl after flushing

The syphon seal may be worn or blocked by debris; inspect and clean the seal or replace the washer.

Flush lever feels loose or does not trigger a flush

Check the connection between the lever and the syphon hook to ensure it has not detached or slipped.

Weak flush performance

Ensure the water level in the cistern is at the correct height; low water levels prevent the syphon from creating an adequate vacuum.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High-quality construction for durability
  • Reliable and consistent flushing action
  • Versatile for residential and commercial use
  • Straightforward design for easier installation

Cons

  • Limited to 9-inch cistern configurations
  • Requires manual adjustment during installation
  • Not compatible with modern dual-flush systems

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation

  1. Isolate the water supply to the cistern and flush to drain all remaining water.
  2. Carefully unscrew the existing syphon nut and remove the old unit.
  3. Position the Masefield Epson Syphon, ensuring the sealing washer is seated correctly to prevent leaks.
  4. Tighten the back nut by hand, followed by a light turn with a wrench, being careful not to overtighten and crack the ceramic.
  5. Reconnect the supply and check for operation.

Compatibility

This 9-inch syphon is designed specifically for traditional cisterns with a depth of 9 inches. It is not suitable for slimline or concealed modern plastic cisterns that require specific proprietary parts.

Care

Periodically check the syphon for mineral buildup, particularly in hard water areas. A light descaling process can prevent the internal diaphragm from stiffening, which ensures the flush mechanism remains responsive.
