Akima:
The standard trick in Australia to reduce the water usage of an old style cistern was to put a couple of bricks in it!
explicit:
My apartments I lived in for school were all really old. My last one there were actually bricks in the toilet.
pwhodges:
When I arrived in my present house I had to remove the bricks from the toilet because it became clear that one effective flush was more economical than two ineffective flushes!
Kugai:
When I first moved in here I had an old style wooden boxed cistern. Landlord changed it over to a more efficient one about a week after i moved in.
The Seldom Killer:
Don't use bricks. They have a tendency to degrade and then clog up valves and generally break your toilet. A lot of water companies will provide a "hippo" for your cistern free of charge.
not an actual hippo though. Its a bag of beads that expand in water. Can be tricky to site but work well once settled.
