FAQs

What size is the outlet of the Watermark Dual Flush Valve?

The Watermark Dual Flush Valve has a 2" outlet.

What type of connection does the Ideal Standard Inlet Valve use?

The Ideal Standard Universal Inlet Valve uses a 1/2" connection.

Can I adjust the amount of water used for the half flush?

Yes, the dual flush system allows for adjustable full and half flush volumes to optimize water conservation.

Is this compatible with all toilet cisterns?

The flush valve is designed for most standard cisterns with a 2" outlet and a height of approximately 325mm. The inlet valve is universal with a 1/2" connection. It's always best to check your cistern's dimensions.

How do I clean the chrome push button?

Clean the chrome push button with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaning agents.

What is the benefit of a dual flush system?

A dual flush system allows you to choose between a full flush for solid waste and a reduced flush for liquid waste, significantly saving water and reducing utility bills.

Do I need to be a plumber to install this?

Basic plumbing knowledge is recommended for installation. If you are unsure, it is advisable to hire a qualified plumber.

Troubleshooting

Cistern not filling

Ensure the water supply is turned on and the inlet valve is correctly seated and not blocked.

Water leaking from cistern into the bowl

Check the seal of the dual flush valve at the bottom of the cistern. Ensure it is properly seated and free from debris.

Weak flush

Verify that the correct flush volume (full or half) is being used and check for any obstructions in the flush valve outlet or siphon.

Inlet valve constantly running

Check the float height adjustment on the inlet valve. It may be set too high, causing water to continuously run into the overflow pipe.
