Leeds City Council cuts water bills by 25% with Interflush
April 1st 2009

Who has money to throw down the pan these days? Certainly not Leeds City Council, which has cut its water bill by 25% with the Interflush and, according to its inventor and Varyflush founder, David Wilks, a large bank has just achieved a 33.8% reduction in water use with the Interflush:He says this is about an eight week payback time.

The device, which is retrofitted to siphon-based toilets, requires users to press and hold down to flush, and let go of the handle to stop flushing. In that way, says Wilks, only the necessary amount of water needed to flush the bowl is used.

According to Wilks, around 60 litres of the 150 litres of water we all use daily are literally flushed down the drain. He claims the Interflush can save half of that, equating to 30 litres of water saved per toilet per day.

With the low cost device, which is easy to fit, companies, councils, education, healthcare and leisure establishments can save money and water for very little effort.

The Interflush unit also comes with educational materials – such as stickers to attach to toilets reminding consumers to press down, hold, and release.

The device is WRASapproved and also on the government's Water Technology List.

And because processing waste water consumes vast amounts of electricity, deploying the Interflush means organisations can instantly reduce their Carbon footprint.
