Flushing Cisterns
Ruhe Flush Tanks and Cisterns
A flush tank, or cistern, stores the water that flushes a toilet. Ruhe makes two kinds. A PVC flush tank is fixed on the wall above the toilet, so you can see it. A concealed cistern is built inside the wall behind a wall-hung commode, so you see only the flush button.
Quick Guide
| If you have… | Choose |
|---|---|
| An Indian toilet, or a western commode with no tank | A PVC flush tank: Atlantic or Pacific |
| A wall-hung commode, new bathroom or full renovation | A concealed cistern with frame |
| A wall-hung commode and your own wall support already built | Pneumatic concealed cistern, tank only |
PVC Flush Tanks
Atlantic and Pacific are 8-litre PVC tanks in white, with a push button and an air-freshener holder. Both come in single flush and dual flush. Dual flush gives a small flush for liquids and a full flush for solids, which saves water.

They fit Indian toilets and floor-mounted or wall-mounted western commodes. An L-bend drain pipe is included.
Concealed Cisterns for Wall-Hung Commodes
Ruhe concealed cisterns have a 7.5-litre HDPE tank, dual flush and a chrome-plated flush plate. They refill in under a minute at 3 bar pressure.
- Mechanical: the button works the flush through rods and levers.
- Pneumatic: the button works the flush by air pressure, with no rods.
- Full frame: a mild-steel frame that carries the commode, for a standard full-height wall.
- Half frame: a shorter mild-steel frame for a lower wall or flexible mounting.
