Caroma Toilets are like Nokia of the Toilet world. We had one and is still ticking at our old farmhouse. The house is 105 years old and the toilet is around 70 years old. The house is good old Australian Oregan timber and local hardwood as post for the house.

Love your work, mate! Good to see how to install the S trap system. I have couple questions regarding of removing the existing system, mine is also the S trap, and how can you tell if it is cemented or they are always? I can see my bowel hAs four screws on the bottom and white silicon seal on the edge

@quantumhomeimprovements 7 месяцев назад

Thank you! First of all, if you see silicone, then there is a high chance that it will not be cemented down. If you use a utility knife and cut the silicone, which should release the bowl! But if you can visually see screws then undo them first! I would be very surprised if someone cement, screwed and siliconed a toilet bowl down! Please let me know how you go!

@noelbowerman1562 3 месяца назад

Im about to install a new toilet in my overhauled bathroom. On the Carona box ,it still says install with cement under the toilet . Surety without this cement the toilet base will lack strength? I can't see silicon being a long term answer.

@quantumhomeimprovements 3 месяца назад

Hey Noel, it will also say to place screws through the floor into your waterproofing! This is a big mistake as far as the waterproofing professionals are concerned! Cement base toilets Do Not hold the bowl, any pressure will break the bond and will losen the toilet! Do what ever you feel is right for you but I do not know any plumbers who will use Cement these days! I personally have used a high quality Silicone to fix the toilets for 20 years now and not one has lost its strength. However, you need to know how to apply Silicone and neutral curing is highly recommended. P.S. I have both a waterproofing technicians licence and a bathroom kitchen & laundry renovation licence! Plus Carpentary. Look up Moussa Seecy in the Fairtrading website to see my history.

@909Twodogs 4 месяца назад

Hi.... great video. I'm wondering if you can tell me why my older coroma flush buttons have to be held down to continue flushing. If I let go the flush stops. Thanks

@quantumhomeimprovements 4 месяца назад

Thank you! It also happens even with newer toilets I have noticed. However, depending on the brand & type of cistern you have, it could be adjusted, but you will need to look it up. It's usually due to the seal not opening fully to allow the water to escape easily! Sometimes, it can be a very easy adjustment.

@danielpellicci553 2 месяца назад

I notice you didn't silicone around the whole bowl. Can you comment on this? I assume so you know when to replace the seal.

@quantumhomeimprovements 2 месяца назад

Hey Daiel, good observation! During the editing of this video, I found the full sequence was too long, but in reality, I did place silicone as far back around the bowl as far as I could. If you can draw the screen bigger, you might be able to see it as I finished off the other side! However, with these more basic bowls, it's hard to get right around the very back in a confined space, but you try your best! Cheers

@tho4318 4 месяца назад

Very well explained. I've recently replaced my cistern with the Uniset II, can you confirm if this flush system only works when you hold down the button until you let go?

@quantumhomeimprovements 4 месяца назад

I found the half flush is a quick push down, but the full flush needed to be held down, as you said!

@tho4318 4 месяца назад

@@quantumhomeimprovements Thanks for the quick response, for me both seems to require holding down, hmm! I wonder if something is wrong with my flush then.

@quantumhomeimprovements 4 месяца назад

The half flush will need to be held down for a second or so but yes, if you continue holding it down, the cistern will empty, which you won't need when flushing urine down. But if a second is not sufficient enough then you may need to check with the manufacturer. I hope this helps, Moussa

@fsharpau4925 9 месяцев назад

Shouldn't you screw the pan to the floor and not rely only on just the silicon joint? That's what I'm reading in the Caroma instructions for the Wall Faced toilet that I am installing. Thanks for the video. Its quite good otherwise.

@quantumhomeimprovements 9 месяцев назад

Hey Fsharp, you are welcome. Just confirming that I have a Carpenters, Renovator & water proofing licence and have installed a lot of toilets over the years in my bathroom renovations business. I have to say, without any reservations, that would never, ever drill a hole in the floor even though the manufacturer recommended it. And I have known many plumbers over the years, relatives & good friends and they would do the same as me. There are reasons why the manufacturer has suggested this and I would differentiately challenge then is its tge only method that they recommend. Place silicone at the base of the pan has become the industry standard and I truly believe it's a far better technique than drilling through potential water proofing membrane! I hope my reply sheds more light onto the subject!

@fsharpau4925 9 месяцев назад

Thanks for that info. It does make sense.@@quantumhomeimprovements

@quantumhomeimprovements 9 месяцев назад

Sorry, I forgot to mention that the pan won't move at all with a high quality silicone and if you need to remove the toilet at a later date for maintenance, it's easy to cut the silicone using a Stanley knife and then re-silicone the pan back after you finish it.

@danielrobertbush 5 месяцев назад

With the drain pipe cut down flush to the floor, what will you do next time you want to change the adapter?

@quantumhomeimprovements 5 месяцев назад

Good question, Daniel! The pan collar needs to be low to the ground for the toilet to sit over it correctly. The main reason we changed it was due to it being so far off centre. So I changed the pan collar to an offset collar to try and get it closer to the middle of the room as possible as I showed on the video. However, generally speaking, you will not need to change it again. But if you do need to replace it then you can get a good idea from what I showed on video, hopefully!

@aussiegardener5629 7 месяцев назад

Hi I'm looking for the part where u drill the holes into the tiles and screw the toilet into the tiles but I can't find thst bit on Ur video. I noticed mine didn't come with the screws for this bit. Is that normal? Also, when I do a full flush, the cistine only half empties. Is it supposed to do that? Thank you so much in advance for any help

@aussiegardener5629 7 месяцев назад

I mean where u screw the toilet into the tiles in the floor. And again, I didn't see in the box thst it came with these screw and I'm wondering if this is normal

@quantumhomeimprovements 7 месяцев назад

You are welcome & yes, the manufacturers usually suggest to screw the toilet down. However, I my life time I have never seen this practiced! I the old days people would only cement the bowl down. But now I only see people using silicone to hold the toilet down! I personally don't like drilling through the floor tiles because I am a waterproof technician and don't like to compromise on the integrity of the membrane! In regards to the level of water, it should flush all the way down. Could I ask if you installed the same toilet?

@aussiegardener5629 7 месяцев назад

@quantumhomeimprovements thank you so much for Ur reply. Yes it's the uniset 2 s trap I bought from bunnings

@quantumhomeimprovements 7 месяцев назад

👍 I am just double checking with Xiaoming if the toilet cistern empties completely after we place the plastic reducer! However, he is visiting his sick mother overseas at the moment, but I will confirm it hopefully soon!

@quantumhomeimprovements 6 месяцев назад

Sorry for the delay, but Xiaoming confirmed as I thought that a full flush should empty the cistern!
