Caroma Cisterns

The Caroma Cisterns collection offers both traditional close-coupled cisterns (for standard toilet pans) and concealed in-wall / in-wall-frame cisterns — giving flexibility for different bathroom layouts and design preferences.

Many Caroma cistern models support dual-flush operation — for example a full flush and a half flush — allowing water savings while maintaining effective flushing performance.

Yes. There are concealed cistern systems designed to be installed behind a wall or in-wall cavity, ideal for wall-hung or wall-faced toilets, offering a clean, minimalist bathroom look.

Ensure that your wall or floor space can accommodate the chosen cistern type (concealed vs close-coupled), verify inlet and outlet/waste alignment, and confirm that the toilet pan is compatible with the cistern’s mounting and plumbing configuration.

Possibly — if your wall structure and plumbing layout allow for it. Retrofitting a concealed cistern usually requires appropriate wall framing or cavity space and may need adjustments to plumbing and waste outlet positions.

Yes. Replacement components such as flush buttons/plates, inlet and outlet valves, seals and other internal parts are typically available to support maintenance or repairs without replacing the entire unit.

You can choose a close-coupled installation (cistern mounted directly on the toilet pan) or a concealed in-wall installation (cistern hidden behind a wall). The choice depends on bathroom layout, aesthetic preference and structural/plumbing conditions.

Both types require periodic inspection of flush mechanism, inlet/outlet seals and valves. Concealed cisterns may need access via flush plates or access panels to service internal components, but replacement parts remain available.

Yes. Caroma designs its cisterns to meet Australian plumbing and WELS water-efficiency standards, making them suitable for domestic installations that aim for water conservation and regulatory compliance.

Yes. Flush plates/buttons compatible with concealed cisterns often come in a variety of finishes and styles, allowing you to match visible bathroom fixtures to your design aesthetic while keeping the cistern hidden.

Concealed cisterns create a cleaner, more minimalist bathroom appearance, save floor space and hide plumbing for a refined finish. They are particularly well suited to modern or compact bathroom designs.

Yes. The variety within the Caroma Cisterns collection — from close-coupled to concealed options — makes them adaptable to new builds or renovation projects depending on available space and plumbing layout.

Ensure the pan is compatible with the cistern type (close-coupled vs concealed), check inlet and waste outlet alignment, seat height/comfort, and overall dimensions to ensure proper fit and flushing performance.

Yes. Concealed cisterns in the Caroma range are designed to work with wall-hung or wall-faced toilet pans, provided the wall framing and plumbing are configured correctly for installation.

Regularly check flush mechanism, inlet and outlet seals. Keep the cistern lid or access panel properly secured. Use gentle cleaners and avoid harsh chemicals that might damage seals, and ensure valves and seals are functioning properly.

Yes. Concealed cistern installation often requires precise wall-cavity preparation, secure mounting, correct plumbing alignment and sealing — so using a licensed plumber is strongly recommended to ensure compliance and long-term reliability.

Check existing plumbing rough-in, waste outlet position, wall or floor support, and ensure the new cistern type (close-coupled or concealed) is compatible with your toilet pan and bathroom layout.

Yes. When paired with compatible toilet pans, many Caroma cistern setups support accessories like soft-close seats, varied flush button finishes or designs, and replacement valves or components, depending on the selected suite or pan model.

Yes. Caroma cisterns use quality materials — vitreous china for many close-coupled units or robust components for concealed systems — making them reliable and built to handle regular use and frequent flush cycles over time.
