If it is dripping out from the cistern contents, then it would not be affected via mains pressure. (That might overcome the inlet valve resistance but should cause the cistern contents to rise and exit via the overflow) Is there any indication that the cause could be condensation on the rear...

Condensation can form on the outside of a toilet cistern.

You are wrong, ask JohnD or look it up. Are you sure you are a plumber! Jeez, this is NVQ Level 1 fer Chrissakes :roll:

I have a similar problem, though with a tiled floor it is not causing any rotting. I only experienced it when I moved to a house with no cold water tank, and so also have put it down to the temperature of the rising main water in the cistern Condensation only appears where warm air is...

Hi, I am having a problem with water soaking the floor below our toilet. We have a combined bathroom and toilet in the house we have just moved into. There is almost always condensation on the toilet cistern which soon drips onto the carpet. The carpet is now wet (so are the floorboards)...

As above, could be from toilet cistern or a cold water storage cistern in the loft. Doubt it’s a condensate pipe from the boiler but not unheard of.

Hi there, I have heard that if you are able to stick a yoga mat to the inside of the cistern this "insulates" the cistern and should stop the condensation. Rico

Are you sure it isn't just condensation off the cistern?

Please feel free to explain how an extra couple of millimeters of clay will prevent condensation forming.. If the water in the cistern is at 5 Centigrade and the air temperature in the room is say 23 Centigrade and the relative humidity is say.... 60% in both cases, then yes both cistern...

Hi I have a flat that I rent out and have seen this (or rather the management company have). Can someone help me identify what this is and what a cause might be? I am wondering why there are 2 white pipes? I assume one is the boiler condensate / overflow is it? or am I wrong? Either way, why...

A cistern with a fixed amount of water in it will produce the same amount of condensation irrespective of the thickness of the material given that the water temperature in the cistern and the air temperature and relative humidity are the same..what varies is the time taken to produce the...

It's not condensation is it? Warm moist air in the bathroom condenses on the toilet cistern, which has been chilled by cold inlet water.

Its likely to be the bolts/nuts that go through the cistern that hold it to the pan. Other potential problems. Condensation. Pan connector. Cracked a faulty cistern or pan

We had a new bathroom fitted about 5 years ago, at this time all the walls were skimmed. About 2 years ago the paint has started to bubble on one side of the cistern, presumably caused by damp coming from somewhere. None of the pipework was moved and I can't see anything wrong with the wall...

My Dad deliberately ran some hot water (along with the cold) to his toilet cistern to try and stop condensation on the cistern itself. Seemed to work okay.

can anyone tell me how to stop condensation on a toilet cistern

Cold water in cistern, warm bathroom. Could be just condensation. Andy.

I fully accept that carpet is not the best option. We dont have a fan but there are two opening windows. Even so, even first thing in the morning before the heating goes on there is still condensation on the cistern. Surely by that time the water inside should be close enough to the air...

Yes tiling would stop the mould on the wall problem, but the grout would undoubtedly get mouldy instead. Stoping condensation on porcelain cisterns is a question that has been asked many times, do a search on this forum and you will find them. You could try a thin layer of polystyrene behind the...

How much insulation is above the ceiling? Most of that condensation is from warm air from the rooms below Is it a tank (sealed), or a cistern (no lid)? Fit a lid to any cistern.
