I've bought a replacement toilet bowl & cistern to replace an existing bowl and cistern which were accidentally damaged. New and old are the same make: Armitage and Shanks close coupled "Charlotte". The old cistern has a standard syphon and separate overflow fitted. The new cistern is supplied without a separate overflow ( nor is there a hole in the cistern to accommodate this ) and what seems to be a standard syphon. I contacted the supplier who said the syphon has a built-in overflow and a separate overflow is not needed. However, when I look at the new syphon it looks identical to the old syphon and I cannot see how it contains an overflow mechanism. How can I be sure that the new syphon does have a built in overflow? Any advice would be much appreciated. Tia
