I’ve been servicing “GEBERIT” cisterns now for the last 6 - 12 mths. I cover the CBD Sydney area, north of the harbour & the Eastern suburbs. I keep a extensive range of spare parts & its rare to have to return with parts not in stock.

These are quality products that rarely need servicing, & the majority of the work I have done over the years have been installation based & not a product fault. The most common fault being building debris inside the cistern, therefore interfering with the outlet valve, & the toilet continues to leak into the bowl.

There are several cisterns available in the range, with the most common being The UP-120 & UP-170.

The UP-120 is available as cistern only, or as an undercounter cistern & frame for wall hung W.C. suites (Very popular today). See pictures in the plumbing gallery. This cistern requires access to the internal parts either from the top or the front through an access opening behind the flush buttons. A PDF for the UP-120 can be downloaded from this link.

Wall hung toilet / Flush buttons

The UP-170 is only available as cistern only, this cistern requires access to the internal parts either from the front of the cistern through an access opening behind the flush buttons, or it can be reversed & access can be provided from behind, maybe in a wardrobe or a concealed panel behind furniture or a picture or something the like. In this situation the pnuematic flush buttons can be installed on a different wall in the bathroom or the side of a vanity cupboard. The limit is the designers imagination.
