How many others will this fit? Do you have a link to what others it's compatible with?
They would great if I could get a full flush even after performing this modification
Sorry to hear you are experiencing difficulties, if you would like to either ring or email our technical team then I am sure we can resolve the matter for you: technicalsupport@thomasdudley.co.uk or 0121 530 7000 option 4. Thank you.
I can't wait to try one of these. Could be a game changer 👍
Excellent video BUT useless if you need to hear what guy is saying! Even with expensive hearing aids I cannot get past the noise of the music in the background. Why on earth did someone think that was necessary? Note to moderator: I am not the only one with this problem.
Will this fit onto an existing torbeck valve if you split the top part?
Hi, sorry no. The Hydroflo also has a flow restrictor fitted to the inlet stem.
I was nervous about replacing this myself until you demonstrated that it was just like a bayonet lightbulb. Job successful. Thank you.
With the dozens of different flush valves on the market, how many of these will it fit ?
Hi Andrew, this will fit the most commonly known flush valve the Fluidmaster Pro 550 and a couple of others. You can check all compatible valves on our website.
Thank you for this. I changed my flush valve and the half flush works again
Please remove the distracting music.
No sound
Very informative but annoying music which makes it difficult to hear the narrative.
Amazing 👏👏👏
What’s the little plastic tool for, where’s the fitting for the bag and how do you get the bracket off the cistern for clipping it on? Great vid thankd
The plastic tool is for the removal of the filter at the back of the valve, for cleaning. The plastic bag is no longer supplied with the valve due to water regulations. The bottom inlet valve shown does not have a clip. If the valve is side entry the clip can be opened and it swings forward to allow the valve to be removed. The clip does not have to be removed.
Doesn't fit with toolstation wastes as they are all 80mm long, this needs 85mm.
Hi I have an issue with mine flushing too aggressively on the main flush cycle. To the point water is spilling out the panand onto the floor. can you reduce the main flush?
Can’t get my new one to stop flowing. Design seems flimsy with just a tiny plastic pin
I have a single flush button and a dual hose entry. Will work if I just fit one pipe?
Hi, if a single flush button is used it should be connected to the clear tube. The green tube which is for the reduced flush can be disconnected. If you need any further assistance please call our Technical Helpline on 0121 530 7000 option 4. Thank you TYDE
Hang on just a minute. Isn't that Bully Beef, the Hep2O guy? Busy man.
Useless. You guys need to re think this design. Flush is too weak.
I’m so glad you put these videos up for us repressed pedantic types to get inspired to create freely without worrying about every little thing. It’s like opening a window on a stuffy room.
having trouble accessing the flush valve as the inlet float valve system is preventing removal of the flush valve? Can you advise?
It depends on your cistern installation but we’d advise isolating the water supply and then removing the inlet valve first in your case, before then servicing the outlet valve
Can I use one of these cisterns with a centre button push toilet.
Hi Patrick , thank you for the response to our video. The Turbo Edge syphon is suitable for a lever operated cistern. If you could send a picture of the inside of your existing cistern to our Technical Support department technicalsupport@tyde.co.uk they will be able to advise you further. If you would like to speak to them please call 0215307000 Option 4 and they will be pleased to find the most suitable product for your needs. Thanks TYDE
Recently had new cistern installed, the same as the one in your video with the blue access panel, and have water leaking from around the push button, having removed the front panel I can see water in the clear pipe, I thought these blue and clear pipes from push button were for air only, does this indicate a fault? Thanks.
Thanks.. I had a new dual flush cistern installed recently and water has started leaking from the push button when pushed. Just had a look behind the panel and have the blue and clear tubes, I thought they only carried air, could there be a fault with the flush valve? Thankyou.
Hi David… Thank you for leaving your comments on our video. I’m sorry to hear that you are experiencing issues with our product. This is a strange one… As we have never seen this issue before? The product you are referring to is a pneumatic outlet valve and as the description details, the tubes are for air and should not contain water. If installed and connected correctly the tubes and button should have no physical connection to water, so it’s extremely unusual for water to be coming out of the button? I advise to start checking all of your pneumatic connections are secured and in accordance with our installation instructions. If you are still experiencing problems please contact our technical helpline on 01215307000 (option 4) and our product experts will help you resolve any further issues you may have.
@TYDE thanks for your reply, I have looked at the push button tubes and can see water being sucked along one tube to the flush button when pushed, I can only now think it's a faulty tube connection at the flush valve end or the flush valve itself is faulty, the leak has stopped at the moment and the area is dry,but if it starts again I think I may take out the flush valve to check and have a look at the tube connection and probably remake the connection.. I think the flush valve just twists out of the cistern tank doesn't it? After turning water off..
@@davelinkson1 Hi David. Thank you for replying to us. We’re glad to hear that the issue seems to be resolved. You are correct the flush valve is removed with a ¼ turn. It is possible to re-terminate the tubes without removing the valve. Simply remove the tube, cut off 1cm and re-connect. We are always available to help on 0121 530 7000 Option 4 should you need us again.
Hello there. Is there a video for installing the Turbo Edge as a new install please? This video does not do that. Many thanks
Hi Vanessa, On our website under the 'Expertise' tab there is a 'How To' page, the install video is on there. www.thomasdudley.co.uk/tyde/expertise/how-to/turbo-edge-adjustable-syphon/ Many thanks Emma
Hi Simon, Please check the following; The wavy line on the yellow button is at the water level and the button is pushed into place . The main body of the syphon is close to the cistern base. Pull the metal link on the syphon up (lever not connected) and let go. For the full flush. Pull the metal link on the syphon up (lever not connected) and hold for reduced flush. If the flush is now working ok, connect to the lever and re-test. Hope this helps. TYDE
I have tried all this. Converted to single flush. it just will not put more than a small amount of water into the pan it won't flush away even one piece of paper. Two plumbers have looked at it and cannot get it to put more than a tiny amount od water into the pan???
@@simonjacobsphotography Hi Simon, please call our Technical Line on 0121 530 7000 (option 4) and they will be able to talk you through it and hopefully help resolve the issue. Many thanks TYDE
I have all the holes closed for maximum flush (9 Litres) and it just releases a tiny amount of water. I cannot get it to fully flush.
Same
@macraem4172 same here. They appear to be rubbish.
Why do I need to adjust the size as in your video?
Hi Niall, the height is adjusted to suit the water level within the cistern. If the syphon height is set too low it may internally overflow, too high and it will not overflow if required. Kind regards TYDE
Pity the video wasn't close up than from a distance.
Many thanks for the explanation here! Managed to fix my flush (cistern was stuck constantly filling/emptying in a loop). I just cleaned the cables a bit and it's all good now!
What is a mono flush ❓
Only flushes once as opposed to a short flush and a big flush, one held down for longer and the other short and sharp push and released.
@@nolickspittle4753 thanks
@@AlexRocks24-7 Irony is brief hold is full flush, full hold is small flush. Should be other way round.
Very true and use it all the time👌
Great video, really appreciate the time and money this saved me.
This just saved me several hours and about £50 of unnecessary parts
Very informative. I think they are great products. My installation is 15 years old and I did need to replace the whole valve but can’t moan after 15 years of service. Followed the instructions in your video and all working well again. Really appreciate the detail you go into, thank you.
Brilliant presentation. Gives you all the information you need. Resolved a flushing issue with my 13yr old system - just a quick snip on all of the ends of the plastic tubes. The first time we have had an issue in all those years. Thank you
Excellent video, very helpful. Many thanks.
Big issue with the pneumatic flush valve is if you have low pressure water supply to the cistern, what can happen is the flush valve let's by when filling as not enough water coming in to fill the cup on the flush valve. If you can't get enough water to come in to the cistern what you can do is make sure the flow restrictor is removed as it sits inside the inlet spigot of the cistern & not inside the fill valve itself. If you still have fliw issues what you can do , is to remove the flush valve seal on the bottom , with a large flat blade screwdriver is to prise out the centre green portion which will expose a spindle, using either 1 or 2 penny washers or some solder wrapped around it . Replace the green button refit the flush valve seal & what that then does is help to hold the seal when filling. You might have tk do 2 or 3 tries at fitting some of the washers as if it's too heavy when you attempt to do a full flush when you let go of the button the valve won't empty the cistern. The manufacturers are aware of this issue although won't admit to it. So don't go thinking it's a faulty unit as what will happen is it will do the exact same thing with the new one. If you can remove the unit altogether & fit a different flush valve as these will give you major problems down the line. Another tip with these cisterns is adjust the water level to about 5 -10mm below the water line. The reason being is when the fillvalve shuts off , being an equilibrium it will take a few seconds to adjust the pressure & shut off. On a hp system this can take the water level above the overflow & in some cases spill out the front of the cistern itself. Again the manufacturers are aware of this but won't admit to it.
Would be great if you were to have a closer view of the bellows in operations & access to remove & replace . The video was all done at a distance . Better camera work would of helped. Mostly it's the bellows that are the issue & scale build up. Although its cheaper to replace the bellows , for peace of mind for the customer & future callbacks its best to replace the while flush valve. The push buttons are quite expensive especially the 2" button & in some cases it's cheaper to purchase a whole replacement cistern which comes complete with all parts as opposed to buying the parts separately.
just out of interest, why would you change the turbo 88 to a Turbo Edge besides a demonstration, could I use the turbo edge to replace the Shires Lynx siphon, and retain the use of the metal fulcrum flush lever. your products are top grade, I have been installing them for years, with full confidence.
Because the turbo 88 is absolutely massive, quite often defeats the object of having a quick change siphon as the original 88 is so big you have to remove the flush handle & fill valve to get the bastard in place!!!
Between 10 & 15 years old, just needed a descale of the linkages.
Brilliant thank you 👍
when i flush the turbo edge, the water doesnt go all the way to the bottom, i have made it single flush with the white thing inside changed that over and also left the 3 plastic tabs on.
Hi James, Check that the syphon height has been adjusted on both sides, and that the body section has been fully pushed down to the bottom of the downleg. Check that when the syphon is flushed, that the two washers, one small white plastic washer, above one small black O ring washer, fitted immediately below the metal C link, are sitting back down onto the top of the syphon body. If not, air will enter the syphon at this point giving only a reduced flush. Check that the C link fitted with the syphon, allows these washers to fully sit back down onto the syphon body. If not, you will need to increase the length of the C link. Check the water level in the cistern, if the water level is only just above the top of the syphon body, it could be that by the time the cistern lever is flushed and released, that the water level in the cistern may already have dropped below the top of the syphon body, allowing air to enter the syphon at this point, and break the syphonic action. If this is the case, increase the water level within the cistern. It should be at least to the height of the water level mark shown on the yellow locking pin. Hopefully this should help to resolve the issue you are having. Kind regards TYDE
Mark from Derby . Had a problem flushing continuously to get water to come through at a dribble .fitted a new syphon on to old down pipe as you just clip a new one on . But the downpipe had enlargened slightly as the lever was pulling at an angle of the plunger ..wore out the washer on plunger and distorted the down pipe pulling at that angle ...so be ware get z longer lever ..so it lifts lever straight up .. I put margarine or silcone gel to seal the syphon to the down pipe ..properly .. all works now .
My new bathroom has a Wave 3. It)s the only dissappointment It flushes on half flush but full flush us Intermittent. My supplier (=Tile Shop) tells me they have contacted manufacturer in early December. I an still waiting for a reply and help
fixed my problem. Flush working, but very difficult. Cut ends off tubes at all joints, worked great thanks.
It’s a good video, but I was directed here after I called with an issue but this doesn’t solve it. The big flush doesn’t do as big a flush as what the previous one did, even though everything moves as it should.
Whats the replacement button code or where do i get it please

What's the black rubber sitting on the side ? I cant get a full flush even with the bottom white stopper removed .
