Can the tank be removed alone?

An empty tank weighs 5–7 kg — easy solo. A full one up to 15 kg — better with two, otherwise you can drop it and crack the bowl. Always drain the water before removal.

How long can a toilet be used without a tank?

As long as you need. Pour a bucket (5–8 L) to flush manually. Inconvenient but fully functional. For a two- or three-day repair — fine.

Is a new gasket mandatory when removing?

Strictly — yes. An old gasket may deform slightly on reinstallation and leak in 30–40% of cases. A new gasket costs ILS 15–30; a plumber callback is ILS 200+. Buy a new one.

Where does the old tank go?

Not in regular trash — porcelain is heavy and sharp, it tears bags. Options: construction-waste center (ILS 50–100), sanitary-porcelain recycling (some accept free), or municipal bulky-waste pickup (free by phone to city services).
