They all will produce visible condensation unless the cistern is heavily insulated if the inside of the cistern is colder than the outside and there is humidity in the air outside.. Condensation will always form on the warm side of a cold surface.. School boy stuff really

You sure it isn't condensation when cold water first enters cistern ?

Thanks for your reply Its made from porcelain. How can i stop it? What about tiling the wall the cistern is fitted to?

Ours cistern does the very same, especially after we've used the bath or shower. We dry the condensation off the cistern, as part of drying the bath/shower, tiles. Roughcaster.

Hi all, Bit of a mixed one this and I think I know the route of the issue but wanted to see if I’m looking at this all correctly. In the photo is our kitchen/diner wall. After cooking on Sunday (which was quite a lot of boiling) the wall showed an outline of the cold water pipe behind the...

Does the toilet cistern come straight off the mains,? its winter time, water in the pipe underground is cold goes into a china cistern air in Bathroom which is warm and moist so inevitably you will get condensation on the cistern, Wipe it off with a sponge.

MY husband has restored a cast iron cistern for our cloakroom. It looks lovely. BUT - we have no heating in there - I can hear you all saying they will have 'condensation' drips!!! So OK - we have 'drips' - but we really like the look of it because the name on it is local to our area. I...

So all cisterns will eventually condensate will they :roll: As a teaser: the cold water main coming in is -1 Degrees :wink: You are waffling & uneducated. Your above statement was a load of old cr*ap as well, as for JohnD, Don`t make me laugh. :roll:

In recent temperatures it could be condensation or remove cistern lid and look for splashing water as it fills.

I think it is probably a leak. I would suspect the rubber doughnut between cistern and pan. Might be the connection to the float valve, especially if it is on the bottom of the cistern, or it might possibly be a leaking overflow if the water level is set too high or the val;ve is dripping...

Saw this on a "DIY Tips" site a while ago. Not convinced about it myself but would be interested to know if it works (and what it looks like). Stopping condensation forming on a toilet cistern: This can be stopped by painting a coat of clear varnish on the cistern. This has better insulating...

How do you know this? I've had similar symptoms from condensation or from connection to bottom of cistern not being quite tight enough.

Rvp ,as i told ian in his thread ,i have never seen condensation inside a wc pan. I have seen countless times .... Condensation on supply pipe ,and on cisterns .leaks on the cistern at the fill valve to it and the supply pipe union to the fill valve. Leaks at flush valve to cistern ,flush pipe...

Is it condensation dripping from the lid into the cistern? Couple of photos of the setup might help us visualise things.

Could it be condensation? I sometimes get that from the cistern but I must admit not from the actual lav.

Rubbish, the cause is internal not external, you`re full of it. :roll: It`s Physics Jim.....But not as we know it . :roll:

It's a bit of a bodge job ,but if it's watertight leave well alone. If the cistern is dripping condensation it needs insulating.

Condensation on the cistern would have been considered a luxury years ago. The biggest problem was stopping them freezing.
