Derwent Macdee DVA0100 Kayla Cable Operated Dual Flush Valve and Button

Our toilet was continually trickling water after it was flushed and I couldn’t fix it after playing around with all of the settings. I purchased this and swapped it out which was super easy and the problem stopped straight away. It has been in place for 9 months now with no issues and is fully adjustable for the amount of flush water. Very pleased - good value

This was bought to help replace a Macdee Arcadia flush valve that was leaking water into the toilet pan after flushing. The product was fitted in less than a minute. When looking up the problem I was having and finding out what the unit name was I browsed a few online plumbing sites.But here's a tiny bit of advice, if you have the problem I did which as I say was that the toilet was dripping / leaking water constantly into the toilet pan post flush, then you probably don't have to replace the whole unit. You can remove the top half from the base that fits through the cistern bottom and has the overflow pipe attached by twisting it.....but here's what I found, all the sites I looked at said that for the Macdee Arcadia you should twist anti-clockwise for a quarter turn. I tried this many times going back after reading various web pages advice and really exerting a lot pressure trying to twist it off....no luck. Thanks to my wife who suggested I should try turning it clockwise, I mentioned I had tried it that way but only gently as I didn't want to damage the unit by excessive force. I felt around the base (can't see properly as the cistern is very narrow) and decided that the grooves on the Arcadia base I have only go to one side of the locking mechanism of the base unit and you guessed it, turning the top anti clockwise was never going to release it. So one slightly more determined twist CLOCKWISE and it was off....easy as pie, I could have kicked myself.On one of the sites I went to one chap had been twisting anti-clockwise and was bemused because the overflow pipe moved and prevented him turning the unit a quarter turn, it would seem to me he had been trying to turn it the incorrect way and had actually shifted the base unit.Anyway I tried cleaning the old unit up around the seal but it was still leaking so I ordered this replacement, it was fitted in less than a minute and works perfectly.Just a little extra note - the base on the Kayla replacement is slightly different to my original Arcadia base it will will allow for clockwise or anti-clockwise removal, but I just thought I'd leave this message in case you have, as I do, one of the old Arcadia bases fitted. Sorry the review is a bit long winded but hopefully it'll save you a bit of time messing about and money on plumber callout fees.

Fits and works great as a replacement unit

Is exactly what it says it is. 30 second job, fitted perfectly. No more wasting water into toilet bowl.

Ordered this macdee toilet flush come the next day five out five took me 20 seconds to fit screw the old off and screw the new one on job done

Loved that this was so quick to install and adjust. The hard part was getting the old one disconnected - I had to buy a pipe wrench and that was only just big enough but once I disconnected the built in cistern it was a piece of cake to swap the old one out and fit the new one. Even got the WC working and cleaned up before my husband returned from golf! Would not hesitate to recommend this for compact cisterns.

The toilet now works again!

Easy to fit and well priced. Very happy.
