Tips & suggestions for new bathroom install

JustAnotherSaver

I wonder if those push button things are just another case of if it aint broke then break it so it makes us more money.


I have to say that both my wife & I prefer levers on toilets. Like i said, i've used numerous push button toilets from public toilets to toilets in peoples houses, some that were probably old and some that definitely weren't.



For the small button push for pee they were ALL terrible. Again, maybe this was just coincidence and every single one was broken, even the newish one, but i doubt it. I had to use the big button on the lot of them and that surely defeats the point of it all?


Lever for me, if possible.

You don't get it it is not a button lever difference it's what inside the cistern, flush volumes and the toilet design.

We have a 4.5/2.9 that copes fine.

Shame wickes don't do it any more it was compact one piece so easy to clean.

I replaced my bathroom about 6 months ago. I imported most of it from Germany, (Duravit, Hans grohe, villeroy & boch, grohe, keuco) all for less than half the price of ordering from the uk. Wall hung toilet, vanity unit with sink, bathroom mirror inset into wall etc. I used large tiles 1200x600 so as little grout as possible. Added a inline fan in the ceiling space. And used click lvt flooring. Fully waterproofed the walls and fitted about 95% of it myself.
It wil of cost me less than a cheap bathroom supplied and fitted by somewhere like B&Q
If you want to use big tiles I would recommend these http://www.porcel-thin.com

Ah right, fair enough.


Then in that case what's inside all these push button cistern's i've been on is poor and what's inside all the lever ones i've used have been fine.


Sorry for saying it wrong earlier

You need to work it out so you don't end up with one that does not work the way you want.

So would anyone suggest me that where from I should get services for this?

Not really, since we're in the UK and you are at least 9 thousand miles from our plumbers and trade stores!

Well, in addition to the tips. Here's a short write up about leaky faucets: https://!!!!!!/2DkWxXd

Talks about what causes your faucet to leak and how you can solve it. Thought most of the stated problems are for faucets installed for over years. It still pays to know your ways around faucets.

2 points here...


1) Is saving the water much of an issue if you're not on a meter?
2) I've used those 2 button things and tbh, no pun intended but i think they're crap. The small button barely flushes anything in my experience & that's on a few toilets. Maybe they were ALL broke who knows? It made my yellow pee just a bit less yellow. It was still pointless and i needed to flush again.

Saving water isn't just a financial consideration.

After 5 months of dropping down the pages you resurrected it for that?
