Cistermiser, a provider of water and energy saving management solutions for commercial and public sector washrooms, has launched a new campaign to raise awareness of the benefits of Direct Flushing.
The company says that for facilities and building managers, adopting Direct Flushing can represent a major shift towards a more efficient, hygienic and cost-effective solution to water saving in washrooms, as it is suited for high-usage environments where water conservation and regulatory compliance are vital.
“With the UK facing a growing water crisis, where projections suggest that by 2050, nearly 5 billion extra litres of water will be needed daily to meet demand, something needs to be done. While a dripping tap can waste 5,500 litres a year; a leaking toilet can waste 400 litres a day. It is vital therefore, that water is managed and conserved effectively wherever possible – and Direct Flushing really works,” said Richard Braid, Cistermiser’s Managing Director.
Cistermiser’s five reasons to move to Direct Flushing
- Direct flushing systems connect directly to the mains water supply so there’s no need for a cistern, no standing water or risk of flooding. Instead, each flush draws directly from the mains, avoiding the build-up of harmful bacteria so washrooms remain safe and hygienic.
- Gravity-fed cisterns often lack dynamic pressure which can lead to an incomplete flush. Direct flush systems solve this problem by using dynamic pressure to deliver an immediate and effective flush with no refill delay.
- In washrooms with high urinal usage, traditional auto-flush systems often lead to excessive water consumption, as urinals flush at set intervals regardless of use. Direct flush systems for urinals, like Cistermiser’s Direct Flush, solve this issue by only activating when necessary.
- Cistermiser’s Easyflush Direct minimises maintenance requirements by being fully mains-powered and designed for longevity. This reduces the demand on facility staff but also offers substantial savings over time, particularly in water consumption.
- Easyflush Direct includes a DC pipe interrupter, ensuring that stored water risks are mitigated and backflow protection is enhanced. The result is a system that complies with Fluid Category 5 requirements, meeting hygiene standards crucial for environments sensitive to cross-contamination.
The campaign is running throughout 2025.
