    Hello.
    The drain valve has two adjustments. One is at the bottom of the valve horizontally, the other is vertically, the first has an adjustment range of 0-6L and the other is 0-18L.
    Please explain what these regulations are for and how should they be arranged?
    Greetings.

    I wonder what valve you have, because there are different types. In a vertical position, the float is usually adjusted to determine to what extent the cistern is to fill with water (the lower the float, the less water).

    It is likely a valve with two flush buttons (dual). One for sparing and the other for full rinsing.

    Adjustment - each separately depending on the needs.

    The valve, which regulates the filling of the cistern, is mounted separately - on the side. I am looking for an answer on how to adjust the drain valve. I would like to add that the valve was originally installed in the cistern. The compact toilet is by KOŁO model Panda Idol. The valve is white and the adjustments are gray. Today, after careful examination, I noticed that it has height adjustment, which matters when the cistern is of different heights.

    Just about trigger speech.
    The filler fills the entire cistern and there are two drains (half water or all)

    So what are these values from 0 to 18 and 0 to 5 for, and what should I mark to make it set well?

    you set it according to your own compassion and needs :D
    you can see for yourself how much water is needed to make the yellow color of the water disappear from the siphon of the shell, and how much water if something harder falls :D

    If I set it to position 1 and press both buttons, the water remains in the cistern approx. 5 cm.
    If I set it to position 1 and press the larger button, the water decreases the same.
    When I set it to position 5 or 18 and press one or both buttons, it is unchanged.
    So why are there two buttons, if the water is losing the same amount and this adjustment gives nothing?

    Hopefully something to eat.
    Typically the smaller button is half the water and the two or larger button is all water.

    Little button, little thing, little water,
    big button, big case, lots of water,
    when adjusting, you should get the effect that when you briefly press the small button, it will rinse with less water and when the pressure is released, it stops flushing.

    "by adjusting, you should get the effect that when you briefly press the small button, it rinses with less water and when the pressure is released, it stops rinsing"
    Exactly, that was the answer I expected.
    I would like to know what is this horizontal adjustment on the drain valve for, if I set it to 1 or 5 is it unchanged?

    In my flush, this horizontal adjustment caused a longer delay in closing the flush valve.

    And what is the horizontal one for, is there also regulation there?

    Hey people,

    By trial and error, I was able to properly set up a cistern of this type as in the topic (I have a primo wheel)

    I got the best effect:

    vertical adjustment 5
    horizontal adjustment 0

    I will just add that to find my own settings, I probably poured 1m ^ 3 of water :)

    It is important that after placing the ceramic cover of the cistern, tighten this button quite tightly (it must not walk loosely on the cover)

    I hope that someone will still find it useful

    greetings

    For me, the same situation - I splashed for an hour - and both buttons release the same amount, regardless of the regulation. The previous flush was a start / stop type - if you don't want a full flush - you stop when you want. In this two-stage flush, this adjustment does not work as it should (i.e. the horizontal one regulates the full drain left = range minimum and the right one the maximum range, and the vertical 1/2 drain where up = range minimum and bottom maximum).

    I asked my brother how he worked with this regulation - so I would tell me to spare my time - it broke down with him, he put in a new company and, in the same way, no difference. On the other hand, at a friend's house there is a built-in cistern with buttons on the wall and it works as it should.

    Has anyone come to the conclusion why this is so? Are they mostly flawed and work as they please?

    I have exactly the same problem.

    The only thing I can adjust and you can see the difference is the input, which is the filling valve.
    However, when the water table is too small,
    this is logical when draining water after a major bowel movement
    takes more time to rinse ...

    It drains the water to the maximum and I would prefer less - more ecologically and economically.
    I have two adjustments - at the very bottom, horizontal from 0 to 5
    and above on the side vertical from 1 to 18.
    I did not notice any difference in use
    - it is always almost the entirety of a five-liter tank
    be his half and not always.
    Not only does it have no stop function, it also rinses everything at once,
    which is annoying especially after urinating only.

    There was no such problem with the older flush, because you could at least stop it.
    But it was already a model almost thirty years old and it started to leak,
    and spare parts are no longer available,
    so the rest of the replacement of the whole.

    So what are these drain valve adjustments all about?

Topic summary

The discussion revolves around the adjustments of a cistern drain valve, specifically focusing on horizontal (0-6L) and vertical (0-18L) settings. Users inquire about the purpose of these adjustments and how to optimize them for effective flushing. The horizontal adjustment is noted to influence the delay in closing the flush valve, while the vertical adjustment typically regulates the water level in the cistern. Many users report that both buttons for flushing (dual flush) release similar amounts of water regardless of the settings, leading to confusion about their functionality. The KOŁO Panda Idol model is specifically mentioned, with users sharing their experiences and settings that worked best for them, emphasizing the need for trial and error to achieve desired results.
