I Hate pneumatic flushes, this Geberit one has had a new flush valve actuator jobbie and still you still have to hold the button in to activate short flush. there is no adjustment on it and no instructions. I've had to buy the button itself now for £40 and it looks like I'm keeping it if it doesn't work.
Its a new customer as well and I feel like a total dick! going tomorrow (yes Sunday!) to see if it works if not its a full rip out of cistern to put a Fluidmaster in but it won't cover the massive hole. I'm just to busy with my big projects to faff with these things.

Its interesting PB, thanks.
I do loads of toilet fixes and I love them as they are a good earner but this one is a nightmare! The parts are so damn expensive.

I don't mind doing standard toilet repairs and like you say - a good earner. I find most concealed cistern toilets/wall hung bogs a complete shit show, I went to one just recently and the only way to access the cistern was to remove the basin and basin top as it was all one unit, absolutely crazy ! Sad thing is that more and more of this shite is coming on the market and the yanks are starting to experience it too over there. Remember the brewcabin hand book, section 2 - Problems come to us without taking them on.  |

I don't even mind the concealed Geberit mechanical ones with the big flushplate and I carry the inlet valves and the flush washer that bubbles up for some reason, its like a crystal maze challange at first to get into the bastards and unclip all the Lego but once you're used to them its easy.

Having just fitted my own a few months ago I'm relieved to hear that and I know what you mean by the jigsaw puzzle getting in. Still, your job is obviously a lot harder than mine as you have many different types and variants to deal with. I've only got one and can take the time to dig out instructions etc if the need ever arises. |
