Geberit flush mechanism, manufacturer reference:242.416.00.1

This mechanism can also be accompanied by the mechanism with its Sigma 8 UP720 basin or the mechanism with its basin and the Sigma 8 UP720 float valve

Here I will talk about this new UP720 mechanism, in summary:

1. Evolution
2. Functionality
3. Malfunction
4. Successful Geberit maintenance

1. Evolution
   
   Water consumption
   This mechanism has a better water consumption setting. I'll tell you about it right after.
   
   
2. Functionality
   
   Water saving🩵
   This mechanism allows you to adjust the flush speed and the flush speed. These two settings are colored blue on the mechanism. The flush speed setting is located in the middle as a blue slider that you can slide horizontally. The flush speed setting is located at the bottom as a circle.
   
   After your purchase, you will receive by email the water consumption chart for this UP720 mechanism and videos on how to adjust the water level. (Essential for adjusting water consumption).
   
   The installation
   Removing this mechanism from its cistern is the most complicated of all Geberit wall-hung toilets... 🤯 But there is a method that makes it easier to remove and install. Explaining it in writing, however, is extremely complicated. I prefer you to follow my maintenance tutorial.
   
   After your purchase, you will receive my UP720 tank disassembly and reassembly tutorials by email.
   
   
3. Dysfunction
   
   The small flush toilet no longer works
   This is a well-known defect in this mechanism, caused by a broken piece of plastic. This problem permanently separates the lower part of the mechanism (the main trunk) from the small upper part. The only solution: replace the mechanism.
   
   Limestone
   When the mechanism is too encrusted with limescale, it can jam and no longer execute these small and large flush movements correctly. (Basically, the limescale hinders the movement from descending). I advise you to clean it well or replace it, if it is really in bad condition.
   
   By purchasing from my store, you reward my advice and content,
   thank you 🫶
   
   
4. Successful Geberit maintenance
   
   Successful repair
   Successfully maintaining your Geberit wall-hung toilet is super simple. You need the right disassembly/reassembly guide and the corresponding spare parts. Lindsay and I managed to do just that by combining the two. To do this, simply identify your cistern by noting the reference number inside, then insert it into myGeberit search bar. It takes 2 minutes!
   
   We'll keep in touch ;)
