I have a damaged toilet cistern which is beyond repair. I was wondering if I was to install a new cistern how I would know my new one would be 'compatible' with my current set up? Is there a degree of standardisation such that I can be guaranteed I can install one I buy?
All I really know is my current one is a Twyford 2003 6L model which has a water inlet on the bottom and push button flush.
Any help much appreciated, I'm dying for a dump.
In the U.S., the tank (cistern) and bowl are sold together and are unique between manufacturers and models. You generally can't put one brand of tank on another brand bowl, just like you can't put Fiat parts on an Austin. The only likely way would be to purchase a cistern of the same manufacture which is also compatible with the model you have.
I agree with keshlam, call Twyford for the cisterd's part number & get a di-rectum replacement. Butt, as long & brown as you match up the cisterd's dimensions along with all of its holes & dimensions of those holes, then you should be s@itting pretty.
If you've been delaying your latest delivery, then just use a large bucket...of water...to flush the fudge bowl, this is all the cisterd does but all fancy like. Not that I give a crap.
