Choosing the right cistern for your toilet is something that requires a potential consultancy from a professional/contractor. An ill-fitted cistern would disturb the overall functional integrity of your toilet.
The cisterns can broadly be classified into some commonly utilized categories. They range from the spacy cisterns to the sleek and slender cisterns. Depending on your need and available toilet space, you can select the right cistern as well.
Low-level cisterns are a popular choice as they are easier to install, occupy a less space and cheaper in price. In these, the water container is held close to the WC pan via a flush pipe. The inlet as well as the outlet pipes can be accommodated on either side of the tank. Due to this configuration, they work well with the toilets which have low ceiling height from the floor. Also the affordable price augments the popularity of these cisterns.
Second in the category are the high-level cisterns which're more of the traditional types. They're very unpopular as they're mounted high up towards the ceiling (6 feets from the floor) making the maintenance work a bit troublesome.
One of the most popular cisterns are the close-coupled cisterns. As the name suggests, the pan and the cistern are coupled very close to each other offering a lot more space to the toilet. The setup is somewhat similar to that of the low level cisterns but an additional pipe .i.e. the stand-pipe, is provided in the cistern container. This pipe forces the excess water to flow down the pan rather than overflowing outside.
If space is a good issue while making the cistern choice, then space cisterns deserve a thought. They have thin and sleek bodied plastic bags that occupy very little space. Plus, it makes the setup look neat and glossy.
The royal and illustrious establishments though look to go with the concealed cisterns type. It includes an additional panel that hides the cistern as a whole only allowing a flush to be mounted on the face of the panel. Hence, no flush lever is used. This makes it look sleek and sorted.
To ensure minimal maintenance cost of your toilet, the cistern has to be chosen wisely complementing your budget as well the demand of your toilet.
