The wife in her infinite wisdom has decided she wants a high level cistern. As the standard height is 2.3 ish metres and the room is 1.9 my question is can the flush pie be trimmed this much without affecting the flush too much? The cistern is a 3/6 L dual flush.
 
It should work fine. The height difference is insignificant. It is also same as "low level" cisterns, which are only raised perhaps 300mm.
Hope the pan will suit 6 litre max flush
 
Ok thanks, thought this would be the case but thought I better check as manufacturer puts a disclaimer on regarding flush issues, but then they always do cover themselves!

Pan is being replaced at same time so will ensure its compatible.

Intermittant high water level in downstairs toilet
In the last few days we've had high water level in downstairs toilet. The first few flushes are good and waste flows away but eventually the water level rises in the pan to perhaps half the height of the pan and takes some hours to drain away. Last night I poured 6 large buckets of hot water...
