which WC cisterns have integral o/flows?
How do they work?
Whats the opinion of them?
 
It's the valve that you fit into the system which will have the internal overflow. I've recently fitted a Torbeck Variflush Drop Valve into my cistern and it has it's own overflow. I'm really impressed with it.
 
We've just had a close coupled toilet fitted today with internal overflow. I'm very impressed with this over our old toilet. The only problem I have is that at the minute it seems to be overflowing through the internal overflow all the time.

I suppose I'll have to get the plumber back, but to be honest i'd rather have a go at fixing it myself. Any ideas as to how I would go about stopping the constant overflow??

All new ones that are made to current water Regs

Basically whichever way it happens inside the flushpipe is used as an overflow allowing overflowing water to run into the WC pan.

Easier life for us plumbers as we dont have to mess about running overflow pipes any more. Should have done it years ago!

sannesley I will forgive your topic hi-jack !

To answer your question the ballvalve needs adjusting. This is usually done by an adjusting screw and locknut .
There are so many types that it is hard for us to say more than that without a picture
