Cisterns

This is the most common type of cistern. It is installed inside your wall, so it doesn’t require any extra work on your part.

An in-wall cistern can pair with a wall-hung pan or a floor-mounted pan, depending on the installation.

Underground cisterns are essentially the same as inwall cisterns except that they're buried underground instead of being installed inside a wall.

A cistern toilet with an in-wall unit keeps the water storage behind the wall, leaving the room with a clearer wall plane.

This type of cistern is designed for areas where space is limited or where it isn't possible to install an inwall or underground cistern. It's connected directly to the house's plumbing system, so there's no need for any additional installation work beyond connecting it up with the existing plumbing system.

A toilet water tank is typically visible in a close coupled configuration, which can simplify access for maintenance.

High-quality cisterns have many advantages that make them well worth the investment. They are more durable so they last longer and they are easier to maintain and clean, keeping your flush water looking fresh. They are also more resistant to rust, so you won't have to worry about damage from water stains or rust spots from interior components.

When it comes to choosing a cistern in Australia, you'll want to make sure that it's the right fit for your needs. Size is important in terms of both flushing capacity and the amount of space it takes up in your bathroom. Cisterns also come in a wide variety of materials including plastic and steel; each has its own advantages and disadvantages. Matching it to your toilet suite is important for style aspects as it should also complement other parts like the toilet seat and toilet pan. A lavatory cistern may also need to suit the room's available service space and the position of the existing plumbing.

The toilet and cistern should be checked as a matched installation, including the pan connection and flush mechanism.
