Cistermiser tackles leaking toilets

Cistermiser has launched its EasyFlushEVO range, to provide non-touch and leak-free toilet flushing.

The patented siphon flush design of the new range means there is no flush seal below the waterline, so unlike traditional flush valves, it will not leak due to debris, scale or seal degradation.

Richard Braid, Cistermiser MD, said:

We all know as an industry how much water is wasted through leaking toilets. According to experts Waterwise, a leaking toilet wastes between 215 and 400 litres of clean drinking water on average every day. Between 5 and 8% of toilets are estimated to be leaking, adding up to around 400 million litres of water leaking from UK toilets every day. Against a backdrop of the climate crisis and the Road to Net Zero, losses like these are clearly unsustainable.

That’s why the launch of EasyFlushEVO, calculated to save up to 78,475 litres of water per unit per annum, is so significant. Although it may not single-handedly solve the water wastage problem, it goes a long way to raising standards and is just one of the many highly innovative approaches we’ve taken to help address this industry-wide problem.

Simple to install for both new build and retrofit, the EasyflushEVO is a sensor-activated siphon dual flush valve that improves hygiene by preventing the cross contamination of pathogens with non-touch controls. The sensor plate is made from stainless steel and has the option for mains or battery power as standard.

The company is also launching the EVO CISTERN Sensor WC flushing kit, which offers a non-touch leak-free flushing solution, complete with a  fill valve and concealed cistern with 1.5” flush pipe outlet and flush cone.

Dr. Nathan Richardson from Waterwise said:

Waterwise are really excited to see the EasyflushEVO range entering the market. We have been highlighting the huge amount of water wastage from leaking toilets for several years and so we are thrilled to see Cistermiser launching a product that has been specifically designed to resolve this issue
