"Dripping" noise from new Vitra concealed cistern.

[dwattsy21]

Hi all,

Baffled me this one. Just installed a new Vitra concealed cistern. Luckily not boarded up yet. Constant dripping noise which I've located to be dripping past the flush valve into the pan water (arrow on image). It's one loud drip about every 20 seconds. Assumption is that the flush valve is leaking.

I've taken the gubbins out, cleaned, and replaced but still the same. The gasket looked fine. Any ideas? Also, does anybody know what these two slider settings do?

Any help greatly appreciated. Thanks,
Dave

From where you’re saying a drip, might not be sealed properly. The sliders are usually flush volume settings.

Thanks very much. That's what I'm thinking although it all looked fine. Would that be a new flush assembly or a whole new cistern?

Are you referring to the drip? If yes, then check the seal over, make sure it’s in correctly.

Turn the seal over.

Thank you. Do you mean the seal circled blue in my image, the bottom of the flush valve assembly? The other part (that it goes in to) seems fixed in to the bottom of the cistern

Yes, the rubber seal will pull off, just refit it the other way up.

Sorry, I thought the “drip” was from the flush pipe

Thanks for your replies guys. I did 3 things at once, tur des the seal over as advised, closed those two openings fully shut, and screwed the float adjustment so that the tank doesn't fill up quite as much. One of those has worked as its not making the noise now!

this reply has helped me fix my tank leaking into the WC bowel, you are a star Andy.

But there was another thing that the installer didn't do properly, there is an orange bracket holding the whole thing, it was not holding it... it was extremely difficult to fit it properly and install the bracket. (see the highlighted, pointed with RED arrow)
