Save Water When Flushing Toilet we looked at how
cistern displacement devices such as
Hippo and
Save a Flush can be used to reduce the amount of water used when flushing the
toilet. With up to 10 litres of treated drinking water being used in each flush, and way to reduce this wastage and
save water has to be a good thing.
Unfortunately these simple devices are not perfect. A
cistern displacement device works by reducing the amount of water held by the cistern and therefore available to
flush the bowl. Every toilet requires a cistern of a certain size if its bowl is to be completely flushed - a toilet fitted with a 9 litre cistern
requires 9 litres of water to fully flush its bowl.
When using a cistern displacement device there are times when it is necessary to
double flush (i.e. flush the toilet two or more times) in order to clear the bowl. Obviously this is far from ideal since
more rather than
less water is used overall.
Interflush
Interflush is a small patented device which can be fitted to any standard
single flushing WC syphon (for use with toilets with front of cistern mounted handle) to convert it so that the volume of water flushed can be
controlled. Water only flushes down from the cistern for as long as the toilet handle is held down, therefore when a
full flush is required, the handle can be held down until the cistern is fully emptied; when only a little water will be required to clear the toilet bowl, the handle can be pressed for just a short time.
By using less water on most
flushes, and avoiding
double flushing, the manufacturers claim water savings of
47% are possible. With the average person flushing away 60 litres of water per day, a 47% saving offers considerably water (and money)
savings - e.g. for a household flushing 14 times per day it corresponds to around £70 of savings annually or a
payback period for Interflush of just
14 weeks.
Installation of
Interflush
can be undertaken by anyone with basic
DIY skills and a few common tools, and it is not even necessary to turn off the water supply when fitting the device. The installation process should take around half an hour.
