Low-flush toilets let gravity do its job…
Low-flush gravity toilets with optimised cistern and bowl designs use 4-6 litres of water per full flush. This system can help you save up to 6 litres of water per full flush compared to conventional systems.
Low-flush toilets are universal and can be easily fitted. Read ‘Cistern displacement or dual flush’ for other alternatives!
