Its key benefit is the raised height and ergonomic design, providing a more comfortable seating position.

FAQs

What is 'Comfort Raised Height'?

Comfort Raised Height refers to the toilet pan being taller than a standard toilet (485mm in this case), making it easier and more comfortable to sit on and stand up from, especially for individuals with mobility limitations.

What does 'Rimless' mean for a toilet?

A rimless toilet does not have a traditional hidden rim inside the bowl where water usually flows. This design eliminates spaces where bacteria, limescale, and dirt can accumulate, making it more hygienic and easier to clean.

How does the soft-close seat function?

The soft-close mechanism uses specially designed hinges that control the descent of the toilet seat and lid, allowing them to lower slowly and silently without manual intervention.

Is the dual flush system water-efficient?

Yes, the dual-flush cistern offers a choice between a smaller flush (for liquid waste) and a larger flush (for solid waste), helping to reduce overall water consumption compared to a single-flush toilet.

What is the guarantee period for this toilet?

The toilet itself comes with a 25-year guarantee, while the toilet seat has a 2-year guarantee.

Can this toilet be used in a small bathroom?

Yes, this model is a short projection toilet, meaning it extends less from the wall, making it particularly suitable for smaller bathrooms or en-suites where space is limited.

What material is the toilet made from?

The toilet is made from durable vitreous china with a gloss finish, which is resistant to stains and scratches and easy to clean.

Troubleshooting

Toilet not flushing properly

Check the cistern is filling correctly and the flush mechanism is engaged. Ensure the flush button is not sticking. If issues persist, consult a plumber.

Soft close seat not working smoothly

Ensure the seat is correctly fitted and the hinges are not obstructed. Do not force the seat; the mechanism should operate with gentle pressure.

Water leaks from the cistern or pan connection

This typically indicates a faulty seal or connection. Turn off the water supply and contact a qualified plumber for inspection and repair.

Scoring or staining on the ceramic

Use only mild, non-abrasive cleaners. For persistent marks, try a paste of baking soda and water, applied gently with a soft cloth.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Enhanced comfort due to raised height, beneficial for users with mobility issues.
  • Superior hygiene and easier cleaning thanks to the rimless pan design.
  • Water-saving dual-flush system reduces water consumption and bills.
  • Quiet and safe operation with the soft-close toilet seat.
  • Durable and easy-to-clean vitreous china construction.
  • Space-saving short projection is ideal for smaller bathrooms.

Cons

  • The raised height may be less ergonomic for very tall individuals.
  • The blue detail on the flush button might not match all bathroom aesthetics.
  • Requires professional installation to ensure proper sealing and function.
  • Rimless toilets can sometimes splash slightly more than traditional designs, depending on flushing power.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Installation should be performed by a qualified plumber to ensure correct sealing, water connections, and flushing mechanism alignment. Ensure the floor is level and stable before fitting. The toilet requires standard plumbing connections for both water supply and waste outlet.

Compatibility: This is a close-coupled toilet, meaning the cistern is fixed directly to the pan. It requires a standard UK standard toilet waste pipe connection. The WRAS approval indicates compliance with UK water regulations.

Care: To maintain the gloss finish and hygiene, clean the toilet regularly with a mild, non-abrasive bathroom cleaner and a soft cloth. For the rimless area, a damp cloth is usually sufficient. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive scouring pads, as these can damage the vitreous china and its finish. The soft-close mechanism on the seat requires no specific maintenance but avoid forcing the lid or seat.
