Flush valve

[troutybrown]

Hi all,
My mum is almost 95 and is finding it hard to press flush button on top of cistern.
Can i fit a lever operated flush valve to make it easier for her if so which is the easiest
you have come across?
TIA Colin

Yes, but you woud need to replace the cistern.

@HERTS P&D So I can't fit lever on top?

 

[HERTS P&D]

No, it would be on the side, as the CISTERN will need to be replaced.

Post a picture of your cistern.

Am going round there later so will get one.

I'm not sure a lever will be any easier to press down than the push buttons - in fact may be harder.

Leave a large timber dowel on cistern so she can use that to push the button , so she uses her entire hand rather than a finger.

Or fit something like this.
