Seriously... the toilet doesn't fit the cistern. It just needs more power. Harshly said, since Geberit cisterns are nothing exotic, the toilet was probably, as you yourself already fear, a bad purchase. Ebay classifieds....Karsten
Unfortunately, I was mistaken in the opening post - we connected the toilet to the OMEGA UP cistern. I hung the bowl on a SIGMA cistern yesterday, and it works much better there. The two cisterns have about a 30 cm height difference and accordingly a completely different water pressure.
I then tried to get a reasonable answer regarding "compatible" bowls - unfortunately no one can provide a usable answer here. I actually only hear "The bowls always fit." The only technical information I find is about the maximum water volume - for the bowl purchased, that was 6 liters. The Omega cistern delivers that too - just like the Sigma cistern - but with the latter it works much better.
How can I tell now if a bowl fits a cistern?
Unfortunately, I also can't find the slightest information at Geberit about how, for example, to adjust the flush valve of the cistern. According to the diagram, several levels can apparently be set for the dual-flush, but the drawing doesn't make any sense to me at all.
What model is the WC?
OBI own brand wall WC rimless 145€ - that might invite ridicule, but I actually assume that the product "toilet" after about 100 years is nothing special anymore. I have no problem buying another bowl (OBI announced they will take the bowl back) - I just want to know which one.
