FAQs
Does this cistern include the flush plate?
This unit is the cistern mechanism itself; ensure you have selected a compatible pneumatic flush plate that matches your bathroom design.
Can I install this in a stud wall?
Yes, this cistern is specifically designed for concealed installation within stud walls or furniture units.
What is the benefit of a pneumatic flush?
Pneumatic systems use air pressure rather than physical rods or cables, which often results in a more reliable, smoother, and long-lasting operation.
Is this compatible with all wall-hung pans?
It is designed as a universal cistern, making it compatible with most standard wall-hung and back-to-wall pans available on the market.
How do I access the cistern for maintenance?
Maintenance is typically performed through the aperture left by the removable flush plate.
Can I adjust the flush volume?
Yes, the internal valves are generally adjustable to allow for minor tweaks to the flush volume to suit your specific water pressure and toilet bowl type.
Troubleshooting
Weak or incomplete flush
Check the pneumatic air tube for kinks or blockages; ensure the connection to the button assembly is secure and air-tight.
Cistern takes a long time to refill
Verify that the water supply valve is fully open and check the inlet valve filter for sediment buildup.
Constant water running into the pan
Inspect the flush valve seal for debris or wear; adjust the water level float to ensure it is not exceeding the overflow pipe height.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation of the BACC011S requires a wall cavity or a mounting frame system. Ensure that the water inlet connection is accessible during the rough-in stage of construction. Before tiling over the access area, always conduct a 'leak test' to ensure all connections are watertight. For ongoing care, the pneumatic button assembly should be wiped clean with a soft, non-abrasive cloth. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners directly on the cistern internals. Should maintenance be required, ensure the flush plate is easily removable, as this acts as the primary access point for servicing the internal valves.
