2. Setup and Installation
The SIAMP 9L cistern is designed for surface mounting (on-wall installation), with the option for semi-recessed installation. It is intended for use with standard floor-mounted toilets.
2.1 Components Included:
- Cistern unit with lid
- Dual-volume flush mechanism (pre-set to 3L/6L)
- Quieto OD float valve (pre-set to 3L/6L, very quiet, NF 9 dB)
- Backstop for wall support
- Stabilizer for toilet bowl support
- Fixing and connection accessories
2.2 Installation Steps:
- Positioning: Place the cistern on the wall above the floor-mounted toilet. Ensure it is level and aligned with the toilet bowl.
- Mounting: Secure the cistern to the wall using the provided fixing accessories. Utilize the adjustable backstop to prevent tilting and the stabilizer for additional support on the toilet bowl.
- Water Connection: Connect the 3/8" external water supply to the inlet on either the left or right side of the cistern. A bottom water supply connection is optionally available. Ensure all connections are tight to prevent leaks.
- Toilet Connection: Connect the cistern to the toilet bowl using the appropriate sealing and connection accessories.
- Lid Placement: Place the lid on the cistern, ensuring the chrome push buttons are correctly aligned with the flush mechanism.
- Initial Fill and Leak Check: Open the water supply valve. Allow the cistern to fill. Inspect all connections for any signs of leakage.
Note: Professional installation is recommended if you are unfamiliar with plumbing procedures.
3. Operating Instructions
The SIAMP 9L cistern features a dual-flush system designed for water conservation. The flush mechanism is operated by two chrome-plated push buttons located on the top of the cistern lid.
- Small Flush (3 Liters): Press the smaller of the two chrome buttons for a reduced water flush, suitable for liquid waste.
- Full Flush (6 Liters): Press the larger of the two chrome buttons for a full water flush, suitable for solid waste.
The flush volume is factory-set to 3 liters and 6 liters. The Quieto OD float valve ensures quiet refilling of the cistern after each flush.
4. Maintenance
Regular maintenance will ensure the optimal performance and longevity of your SIAMP cistern.
4.1 Cleaning:
- Clean the exterior of the cistern with a soft cloth and mild, non-abrasive cleaning agents. Avoid harsh chemicals that may damage the styrene material or ceramic-like finish.
- For the chrome buttons, use a soft cloth and a chrome-safe cleaner.
4.2 Internal Components:
- Periodically inspect the float valve and flush mechanism for any debris or mineral buildup, especially in hard water areas.
- To access internal components, carefully remove the cistern lid.
- If the flush volume needs adjustment or if the float valve is not functioning correctly, consult a qualified plumber or refer to specific component manuals if available. The flush mechanism and float valve are factory-set to 3L/6L.
The cistern tank and lid are made from recyclable styrene, and the internal insulation is provided by an expanded polystyrene shell.
5. Troubleshooting
This section addresses common issues you might encounter with your cistern. For more complex problems, please contact a qualified plumber.
5.1 Cistern Not Filling:
- Check Water Supply: Ensure the main water supply valve to the cistern is fully open.
- Inspect Float Valve: The float valve might be stuck or obstructed. Carefully remove the lid and check if the float can move freely. Clean any debris if present.
5.2 Continuous Water Flow into Toilet Bowl:
- Check Flush Mechanism Seal: The flush valve seal might be worn or obstructed by debris. Remove the lid and inspect the seal at the bottom of the flush mechanism. Clean or replace if necessary.
- Float Level Too High: The water level might be too high, causing water to overflow into the overflow pipe. Adjust the float valve to lower the water level.
5.3 Weak Flush:
- Water Level: Ensure the cistern is filling to the correct level. If the water level is too low, the flush will be weak.
- Flush Mechanism: Check if the flush mechanism is fully opening. Debris or misalignment can impede its function.
