Save water (and £16 per person per year)

I've seen the Interflush device in a couple of threads, but I think it's worthy of a thread of its own. It saves water by stopping the flush when you tell it to, rather than flushing a set amount.

They are better than a brick or bottle in the cistern, as you can flush the full amount if you need. They are better than a dual flush, as they can stop earlier and save even more water. Another good thing is that they are guaranteed to last a lifetime, so they will replace any parts that break for free.


Payback time is a few months if you're on a meter: from then on you're saving money. Someone mentioned in another thread that they paid 0.15p per litre for water, so the saving is over £60 a year for a family of 4. If you're not on a meter, it's an environmental benefit for no further cost.

I should add I've no link to the firm, or reason to push it except that I think it's an excellent idea and a way to save money and the environment. I saw it in "Which?" a couple of months ago and I've just installed a couple of these in our house. They're a doddle to install and use and all the tools needed come in the kit (except for an electric drill).
