Product Information

Full details

The Balterley Faron Close Coupled WC is designed for homeowners and renovators seeking a clean, contemporary bathroom aesthetic without sacrificing hygiene. Its primary benefit is the rimless bowl design, which simplifies maintenance by removing hidden trap points for bacteria, though users should note that professional plumbing installation is required to ensure the cistern and pan align perfectly for leak-free performance.

FAQs

What is the benefit of a rimless toilet?

A rimless toilet removes the inner rim where bacteria and limescale typically hide, making it much more hygienic and easier to clean.

Is the toilet seat included?

Yes, the Balterley Faron comes with a matching soft-close seat included.

What material is the toilet made of?

It is constructed from high-quality white vitreous china, known for its durability and smooth, stain-resistant surface.

Does it come with all installation fittings?

The set includes the WC pan, the cistern, and the seat. Standard plumbing installation parts (pipes) are typically sourced by your installer to suit your specific bathroom layout.

How should I clean the exterior of the unit?

Use a soft cloth and a mild non-abrasive bathroom cleaner to maintain the shine of the vitreous china.

Can I install this myself?

While possible for experienced DIYers, professional plumbing installation is highly recommended to ensure the cistern and pan are properly sealed and leak-proof.

Troubleshooting

Water leaking between cistern and pan

Check the rubber gasket seal for debris or misalignment and ensure the fixing bolts are tightened evenly.

Seat slamming shut

Check the hinge tension or ensure the seat is properly aligned; the soft-close mechanism may need a gentle push to engage.

Slow flush performance

Ensure the water supply valve is fully open and check that the cistern internals are not obstructed.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Rimless bowl offers superior hygiene
  • Durable, easy-clean vitreous china finish
  • Soft-close seat mechanism prevents noise
  • Compact close-coupled design saves floor space

Cons

  • Requires professional installation for best results
  • Modern design may not suit vintage-themed bathrooms
  • Cistern hardware requires careful calibration

Setup, Compatibility & Care

For setup, ensure your bathroom floor is level before installing the WC pan to prevent rocking or instability. The cistern should be tightened carefully against the pan using the provided gaskets to create a watertight seal. Regarding compatibility, the Faron uses standard plumbing connections for water supply and waste output, but it is advised to check your existing soil pipe position before purchase. For care, avoid using harsh bleach or abrasive scouring pads on the vitreous china, as these can damage the glossy finish over time. Periodically check the bolts connecting the cistern to the pan to ensure they remain snug.
