Record details

	For some, this cistern may bring a few memories. Although it will give a powerful flush, it wastes water, is possibly corroded on the inside, and the water supply pipe is lead. Even if you can see no obvious problems, you should tell your client to plan for its replacement.
	This WC in a 1970s house has a 9 litre wall-hung cistern. The water comes directly from the mains at relatively high pressure making this a very noisy installation. Additionally, you may also want to tell your client about the waste of water.
