Published 18th March 2021
With an average of four people in each household in the UK, each flushing the toilet cistern five times a day, the amount of water consumed through toilet use is significant! It’s easy to see why substantial water-saving could be made using more efficient flush valves.
In addition, water saving of all kinds helps to lessen demand on pumping stations and therefore reduce the amount of Co2 expended by transporting water from one site to another.
Read on to find out how a more economic cistern fill valve, can help you save water with every flush!?
Helping to address the interconnected issues of water saving and reducing Co2 emissions, the newly launched Airgap 6000 Series has been shown in independent tests to save up to 1 litre of water per flush. It’s the only adjustable cistern fill valve to completely eliminate backflow – as well as being the only height adjustable bottom inlet toilet cistern valve compliant with UK Water Fittings Regulations?
In fact, they’ve worked out that if every toilet in the UK was fitted with a delayed-fill Airgap valve, enough water would be saved to meet the consumption needs of the entire population of Wales; including drinking, bathing, washing dishes and clothes, brushing teeth, car washing and more!
The flexible Airgap 6000 solution has been carefully engineered to fit virtually all cisterns, with quick and simple adjustment options making it an adaptable and valuable addition to the market. It’s also the only available adjustable solution which contains all the high-performance features for which Fluidmaster’s products are renowned, whilst simultaneously complying with BS1212-4 and all required water regulations.
Designed and manufactured working with water companies and test laboratories, the Airgap 6000 range has been specifically engineered to provide a complete and compliant solution, as the only height adjustable cistern fill valve which completely eliminates backflow and can deal with the developing issue of ‘blue.
Sales Director, Stuart Cronie said: “Our new Airgap 6000 is an important tool in solving the issues resulting from blue water backflow. We have a talented technical design team and dedicated testing facilities, which have enabled us to create this next generation product range, to help tackle the contamination issues which have previously arisen.
“In addition, the product is of interest of anyone who is in charge of specification, maintenance or repair of washrooms; ensuring ongoing compliance and protection of toilet systems and offering quick and easy installation and repair.”?
