GROHE Flow Manager for Concealed Cisterns

Product Overview

The GROHE Flow Manager is an accessory designed to optimize the water discharge speed in compatible GROHE concealed cisterns. It is specifically engineered for use with GD 2 cisterns and is compatible with all Rimless toilet models. This device allows for precise adjustment of the water flow, which helps prevent splashing and ensures efficient flushing performance without the need to remove the main valve.

Setup and Installation

The GROHE Flow Manager is intended for integration into compatible GROHE GD 2 concealed cisterns. Installation typically requires accessing the internal components of the cistern. Before beginning any installation work, ensure the main water supply to the cistern is completely turned off.

The flow manager is installed within the cistern to provide a mechanism for regulating water discharge. Detailed installation steps may vary slightly depending on the specific model of your GROHE cistern. It is recommended to consult your cistern's primary installation manual for precise instructions on how to access the cistern and integrate the Flow Manager.

A key feature of this device is its ability to regulate the flow without requiring the removal of the main flush valve, simplifying the adjustment process.

Operating Instructions

The primary function of the GROHE Flow Manager is to allow for the adjustment of the water discharge speed during a flush. This adjustment is crucial for optimizing flush performance and preventing water splashing, particularly with modern Rimless toilet designs.

1. Access the Cistern: Open the cistern access panel or flush plate to gain access to the internal components, including the Flow Manager.
2. Locate Adjustment Mechanism: Identify the adjustment mechanism on the Flow Manager. This is typically a rotating dial or a sliding lever.
3. Adjust Flow Rate: Carefully rotate or slide the mechanism to increase or decrease the water flow rate. A higher flow rate provides more flush power, while a lower flow rate reduces splashing.
4. Test Flush: After making an adjustment, close the cistern access (if possible) and perform a test flush. Observe the water flow and flush performance.
5. Fine-tune: Repeat steps 3 and 4 until the desired flush performance and splash prevention are achieved.

Always ensure the cistern access is securely closed after making adjustments.

Maintenance

The GROHE Flow Manager is designed for durability and requires minimal routine maintenance. To ensure optimal performance and longevity:

• Periodic Inspection: During routine maintenance of your concealed cistern, visually inspect the Flow Manager for any signs of wear, damage, or accumulation of debris.
• Cleaning: If necessary, clean the Flow Manager with a soft cloth and a mild, non-abrasive cleaning solution. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that could damage the plastic components.
• Obstruction Check: Ensure that no foreign objects or sediment are obstructing the mechanism of the Flow Manager, which could impair its function.

For any concerns beyond simple cleaning and inspection, it is advisable to consult a qualified plumbing professional.

Troubleshooting

This section addresses common issues you might encounter with your GROHE Flow Manager.

• Issue: Water splashing excessively during flush.
  • Solution: The water flow rate is likely too high for your toilet bowl design. Access the Flow Manager and adjust the mechanism to decrease the water flow. Test the flush after each adjustment.
• Issue: Insufficient flush power or incomplete bowl clearing.
  • Solution: The water flow rate might be too low. Access the Flow Manager and adjust the mechanism to increase the water flow. Also, ensure the cistern is filling to its correct level.
• Issue: Flow Manager mechanism feels stiff or is not adjusting.
  • Solution: Inspect for any mineral buildup or debris that might be hindering movement. Clean the mechanism carefully. If the issue persists, the unit may require professional inspection or replacement.
