Siamp 32500007 Optima 50 Flushing Mechanism, White

Impressed (with myself more than anything). So easy to install - loo has been broken for months - if I’d have known it was so easy I would have done it ages ago!

Replaced the very old 49 version easily. Glad they have kept fittings etc. All consistent over the years.For reference the new 50 replaces the 49 version easily the button can be proud or surface . You don't need to replace the pan fitting the main unit unscrews and is a straightforward replacement into pan coupling. Really pleased as button and seal had both broken. easily fixed myself. Would say 50 more reliable than the 49 button mechanism and worth 3 pounds more.

Easy to fit in a very confined space. A lot cheaper than calling out the plumber. Website provides fitting videos which helped a lot.

Bought to replace a failed similar item from another firm. To remove the cistern cover required the buttons to be prised out and a plastic screw to be undone. A design blunder not present in this item. Visual inspection shows it is well engineered using good materials. Can see no reason why it should not have a long trouble free service life.. No tools needed for normal servicing, hence well deserved five stars.But black marks too. The printed instructions are inadequate. But see optima 50-49 on youtube. It runs for approx 15.5 minutes. However it is best to cut the overflow pipe with a sharp knife which leaves a clean cut. Before reinstalling the cistern stand it on a suitable bowl or bucket, put some water in the cistern and check for leaks. Also ensure that when the overflow pipe lifts on flushing that it cannot hit the bottom of the cable/button assembly. A very generous two stars for the printed instructions. I contacted siamp via their website contact form. My message was confirmed as sent, but I never got a reply. Big black mark and no stars for customer service.I contacted18 months on. Working fault free, no problems have arisen.

Perfect replacement for broken fitting

Purchased to replace faulty one in cistern. When the plumber came to put it into cistern the cable was too short. This was something I checked in the information on the product as I was caught out once before. I have measured the length of the whole cable part and it is only 430 at the most. The plumber had to remove the cable from the part he took out so that he could get it to work. Hence the reason for 3stars.

Just right for the job, easy to fit and worked perfectly

The product arrived when advised by the seller and it was easy to replace my broken one with this new one.
