    the air is warm, and the water will be cold in the cistern during the winter, but the condenstion problem is primarily due to the humidity in the room.

    Thanks, I've been experimenting and you're right. It doesn't condense simply due to flushing in cold water, even with the heating on. It's when we have a bath/shower, if the window isn't open then we're then immediately condensing. Simple answer then, apart from the cost of wasted heating and grumbles from the colder family members :rolleyes:

    Have you got an extractor fan fitted, if not I would think about putting one in they do work well to clear the condensation quickly.
    They don't cost much and you can install them yourself if you are able.

    I think most people have this problem. I know I do! I just wipe it occasionally. If thats the only problem then you're lucky. We have condensation throughout the whole house! We live in HA property and we do not have sufficient heating (apparently they ran out of funds). We can only live in hope. We've had to go and buy some portable heaters, but it still doesnt solve our problem.

    Ours is a big, ceramic thing. Wiping it occasionally wouldn't be nearly enough !

    I haven't been able to locate an insulated cistern, and I don't want to be replacing a new toilet. I've discovered a product that's available in the US, called "Adjusto-Temp". It's an adjustable toilet valve, made by Universal Rundle, model 5025-1, cost $33. I'm now looking for a European equivalent.

    Meatime, we can get enough water off the surface of the cistern to wash our face. All that's needed to sort this widespread problem is a variation on the kind of valve that is fitted as standard on the showers at public swimming pools. Simples!

    Just connect it to your HW supply pipes then. A blending valve will cost at least £60 before you even start thinking about installation and it'll need bothe hot and cold feeds.

    Sorry - but why on earth resurrect a 5 year old thread to make this pont when you've also made it quite forceibly on the currently running thread?
