FAQs
What is a back to wall toilet?
A back to wall toilet has its cistern concealed within a wall or furniture unit, creating a clean, minimalist look with the pan fitting directly against the wall.
Do I need to buy a cistern separately?
Yes, the cistern and flush plate/button are not included and must be purchased separately. This allows flexibility in choosing a concealed cistern system.
How do I clean the rimless pan?
The rimless design means there's no hidden rim. Cleaning involves wiping the inside of the bowl with a toilet brush and cleaner, which is more hygienic and easier than traditional toilets.
What does 'soft close seat' mean?
A soft close seat has a mechanism that gently lowers the lid and seat without slamming, reducing noise and preventing damage.
Is the toilet seat easy to remove for cleaning?
Yes, the seat is designed with a quick-release function and top-fixing, making it simple to remove for thorough cleaning and then reattach.

Troubleshooting
Soft close seat not working smoothly
Ensure the seat is correctly aligned and not obstructed. The mechanism may require gentle adjustment; consult the installation manual or seek professional advice if persistent.
Weak flush or incomplete flush
Check the cistern's water level and the flush mechanism's operation. Ensure the concealed cistern is correctly installed and connected. Blockages in the waste pipe can also cause this; consider professional inspection.
Seat is wobbly
Tighten the top-fixing bolts securing the seat to the pan. Ensure the seat is properly seated on the pan before tightening.
Difficulty cleaning the pan
Use a toilet brush with a suitable cleaner and pay attention to the lower part of the bowl. The rimless design should make most areas easily accessible.

Compatibility:
Requires a separate cistern and flush plate/button. Ensure these are compatible with the back-to-wall installation method.

Care:
Clean the ceramic pan regularly using a non-abrasive cleaner and a soft cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals that could damage the finish.
The soft-close mechanism requires no special care but avoid forcing the seat to close.
