How does urinal Cistermiser work?
The valve is activated by short-term pressure drops created by use of taps or WCs on the same supply. The valve is normally closed; when it is activated it opens and water passes to the urinal cistern until the pressures on both sides of the diaphragm are equalised. When the cistern is full, the auto-siphon will flush.
What does a Cistermiser do?
The Cistermiser standard urinal flush control valve is an automatic hydraulic urinal flush control valve. Using a simple and innovative mechanism, the Cistermiser saves water by only allowing the automatic flush cistern to fill up, and flush, when the washroom is in use.
How does a cistern miser work?
The urinals in our rugby club toilets are activated via a valve with Cisternmiser written on the grey casing. This valve seems to allow water into the main cistern which in turn fills and flushes the urinals.
How do you adjust a urinal flush valve?
Turn the water control screw counterclockwise to increase the flow in the urinal if the water level is too low. Start with a 1/4-inch turn and then flush the urinal. Wait for the urinal to fill and then make another adjustment if needed. Repeat this until you have the proper water level.
What causes a urinal not to flush?
When the water does not drain in a urinal, the problem can be simple or complicated. Simple meaning maybe something is clogging the urinal internal drain; complicated meaning the plumbing drain line may need to be “snaked.” In some instances, the vent stack may also need to be cleaned.
How do you adjust the water flow in a urinal?
What causes a urinal to keep running?
When your urinal won’t stop running, it could be because of a malfunctioning or contaminated diaphragm, located toward the top of the urinal. You can fix this yourself in many cases. You’ll want to turn off the main water line if you can (in case it’s a more serious problem).
How do you fix a urinal that won’t quit running?
What is the difference between flush tank and flush valve?
The flush valve is a mechanism used to flush a toilet or urinal while a flush tank holds fluid in reserve for flushing. A flush valve releases water from the toilet tank/overhead tank and into the bowl. These toilets do not require a tank, unlike the cistern or PVC flush tank.
Why does my urinal keep running water?
What is a hydraulic control valve?
The Hydraulic Control Valve is an automatic urinal flush control valve. The valve uses a unique and simple mechanism which prevents water waste by ensuring that the auto-flush cistern is only filled, and can only flush, when the washroom is used.
How does a cistermiser urinal work?
The Cistermiser standard urinal flush control valve is an automatic hydraulic urinal flush control valve. Using a simple and innovative mechanism, the Cistermiser saves water by only allowing the automatic flush cistern to fill up, and flush, when the washroom is in use.
How does the auto-syphon flush urinals?
The auto-syphon will flush the urinals once the required amount of water is in the cistern. The short term drops in water pressure the Cistermiser flush control senses are caused by the use of taps or toilet flushing within the washroom, which approximates the use of the urinals.
How does a self siphon urinal valve work?
The valve is normally closed; when it is activated it opens and water passes to the urinal cistern until the pressures on both sides of the diaphragm are equalised. When the cistern is full, the auto-siphon will flush.
