I just installed a new Flomasta dual flush syphon in my concealed lever operated cistern. Works great and flushes well but once the cistern has almost filled you hear a single glug every few seconds for about a minute! It's coming from the pan but definitely not the waste/soil as there are no bubbles and I have flushed using a bucket of water (also that would happen long before the cistern is full) the noise is clearly coming down the pan feed pipe from the syphon! No air bubbles rising in the cistern during the glugging either.... just can't make this out! Anyone experienced this?
 
Yep standard you will find it’s the water breaking the vacuum eg not siphoning anymore

Cistern Pan Hose Question
I have a pneumatic concealed cistern behind a removable vanity panel. I pulled the panel off to investigate a dull knocking noise when the cistern is coming to nearly full, I haven't ascertained what this might be as yet, I wondered if it was the cold water pipes knocking (as in water hammer)...

Hi there, I have a commercial customer who asked me a few months ago to investigate a toilet that kept blocking. They'd just had the blockage professionally pressure washed out, but wanted me to see what I could do to avoid it happening again. On inspection, I found that the soil pipe leading...
