push button toilets

Postby original_lollybob » October 1st, 2014, 2:42 pm

So i made a foolish decision and installed these push button toilets (obtained from T&Z).

they are a pain in the arse 6 months on and getting replacement parts from T&Z or any other hardware is proving nigh impossible.

The look basically like this:

question:

does anyone know where i can get a replacement flush mechanism locally. something like this

http://www.amazon.com/FlushSaver-BUTTON ... pbfsx+tpd1.

i would change to the old fashion flush mechanism but the tank does not have a front face hole for the lever.

suggestions/advice welcomed.

I find dem flappers does start to leak...I have two euro push-button thingies, a duravit and a mirabelle.............the duravit dumps the whole tank of water one time...not bad...the mirabelle sprays two feeble jets from the back and two from the front, and basically swirls the sheet over and over and sometimes I have to flush thrice to get everything down...it looks very trendy but is the worst flushing system I have ever seen

^ do not put the chlorine cleaning tablets with the push button

The chlorine destroys the rubber flapper/ seal

I have 2 Twyford push button toilets, both have two settings, a smaller button within the larger one that uses less water (for like urine etc) and a full flush, works excellent and parts are readily available

I agree, avoid the push button toilets, especially the Cobra brand (cheap Chinese crap).

I sure is Twyford? Watersource sells a brand called Tvvford. At a glance, the logo looks like Twyford
