FAQs
What material is the flush plate made from?
The flush plate is constructed from durable materials with a matt black finish, designed for longevity and aesthetic appeal in a bathroom environment.
How do I clean the matt black finish?
Clean the matt black finish with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher grime, use a mild soap solution and then dry thoroughly with another soft cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
Is this flush plate universal?
No, this flush plate is designed for specific Viva Skylo cistern models. It is essential to check compatibility with your existing cistern before purchasing.
How does the dual flush system save water?
The dual flush system offers two options: a reduced flush for liquid waste and a full flush for solid waste. Using the reduced flush significantly conserves water over time.
Can I install this flush plate myself?
Installation requires basic plumbing knowledge. If you are not comfortable with DIY plumbing tasks, it is recommended to hire a qualified professional.
What is the benefit of the quick-release mechanism?
The quick-release mechanism allows for rapid and easy detachment of the flush plate, granting convenient access to the internal cistern fittings for servicing or repairs.
How often should I clean the flush plate?
For optimal appearance and hygiene, it is recommended to wipe down the flush plate with a damp cloth daily or as needed, especially in high-use bathrooms.
Troubleshooting
Flush plate is difficult to press
Check that the flush plate is correctly aligned and not obstructed by cistern components. Ensure the linkage rod is not bent or caught.
Dual flush not working correctly (e.g., only full flush engages)
Verify that the dual flush mechanism is properly connected and adjusted within the cistern. Clean any debris from the flush buttons and their housing.
Flush plate feels loose
Tighten the retaining nut or screws that secure the flush plate to the cistern. Ensure it is snug but do not overtighten, which could damage the plastic.
Water leaks from the cistern after installation
Ensure all seals and connections are correctly fitted and watertight. Check the flush valve seal for any damage or debris. Re-check cistern isolation valve.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Installation of the Viva Skylo Ultra22 involves replacing your existing flush plate. Ensure the cistern is isolated from the water supply and drained before commencing. The flush plate connects to the cistern's flushing mechanism. Refer to the specific installation manual provided with your product for detailed step-by-step instructions.
