As the urgency to conserve water intensifies, Cistermiser is encouraging installers with larger commercial and residential clients on their books to consider direct flushing technologies, which are helping to deliver water conservation strategies in these high-demand environments. Traditional cistern systems are often inefficient, prone to leaks, component failure and increased operational costs. Direct flushing solutions eliminate the need for a cistern which saves space, saves water and has the added benefit of instant flush capabilities.
“The need for water conservation has never been more critical. Forecasts indicate that within the next 25 years, we could see a 10 to 15 percent drop in water availability and with the UK’s population projected to swell to 75 million by the middle of the century, the additional demand will intensify the strain,” says Richard Braid, Managing Director.
“Commercial and large residential buildings, which constitute a substantial portion of urban water consumption, are under increasing scrutiny to implement practices that reduce water use. Direct flushing does this and with easy to install solutions, installers are in a prime position to help building managers achieve their sustainability goals.”
Easyflush Direct, for instance, is an infrared flushing system for WCs that takes its water feed from the mains supply. This means there is no cistern to be refilled and a second flush can be immediately activated. To achieve an effective flush, a water system must deliver 90 litres per minute (lpm): too low and the flush will be ineffective, leading to multiple flushes and so wasting water; too high and splashing will occur which is unhygienic. The Easyflush Direct has a flow regulator that limits the flow rate to 100lpm, with additional flow regulators for 90lpm and 125lpm included so each flush delivers the exact amount of water it requires. A hygiene flush is activated every 12 hours to ensure maximum hygiene standards are maintained.
“Installers can make a real difference by considering the Direct Flush Discreet (DFD) and Direct Flush Accessible (DFA) products. By using pressure in the system, rather than the principle of gravity, a direct flush system guarantees a clean bowl in a single flush,” says Richard. “This cuts water consumption, with the potential to save thousands of litres per day in large buildings, translating into substantial cost savings and environmental benefits.”
Cistermiser’s direct flush systems are designed with installers in mind with a straightforward setup process allowing for quick and hassle-free installation, which is particularly advantageous during large-scale refurbishments or new builds. Moreover, the durability and low maintenance requirements of these systems ensure they are a practical choice for busy commercial environments.
“As water conservation becomes an ever more pressing issue, Cistermiser remains committed to providing innovative solutions that meet the needs of today while safeguarding resources for tomorrow,” says Richard. “Our products can transform an installation, saving money, resource and above all – water.”
