  • Publication number: 20250146260
    Abstract: The disclosure is directed to a cistern system which enables maintenance, removal, or adjustment of various components through a maintenance window according to some embodiments. In some embodiments, the cistern system includes screen support members that cooperate with a flush valve to remove fallen components. In some embodiments, the cistern system includes a frame with an adjustable upper bar that can be removed to facilitate the installation of various components.
