Just half way through heaving the cystern off the toilet. I have three toilets here and none leak because I make sure the aperture is clean and put a smear of washing up liquid around the hole and the rubber to ensure a tight fit. No sealant needed.Re: Sealant for toilet cistern
You shouldn't need sealant as well as the rubber washer, but whenever I replace items in a cistern I smear a little Vaseline on the mating surfaces before re-assembly to ensure a good seal and never seem to have leakage problems, well not with the cistern anyway....Re: Sealant for toilet cistern
As mentioned Floydy, sealant shouldn't be necessary (or that's what the manufacturers say anyway) but real life is not the same. Any sanitary sealant will do but if you want the best go for Dow Corning.Re: Sealant for toilet cistern
Looking at this again, I notice that I haven't placed a washer between the outside back plastic nut and the cistern - there wasn't one supplied. That may be the problem.Re: Sealant for toilet cistern
