How FlushKING toilet valves will help to save water

Mr Central heating stock a range of FlushKING products designed to save water and money if you are using a water meter. Toilet flushing accounts for 30% of our water usage, which is more than anything else. An old fashioned toilet syphon uses 9 litres of water per flush (equivalent to 2160 litres per year). Over sixty three years in a traditional home that would be enough to fill an Olympic sized swimming pool. FlushKING dual flush units only use 6 litres, so an average household can reduce toiler water consumption by 36% by simply upgrading to a FlushKING syphon. This is a saving of £211* per year. Everyone knows why we need water - we cant live without it! Water gives life to plants, animals and people. However, due to climate change and the increase in population as well as pollution, the quality of available water has decreased massively.

Water conservation is clearly important. Since the privatisation of the regional water authorities, the industry has invested more than £90 billion to reduce the impact on nature. However, in the next few years climate change and an increase in population will put our water supplies under stress and in danger of becoming unusable. September 2014 was the driest in Britain in the last 100 years.  Climate change is putting our water supplies at risk.

Water conservation is clearly important. The Lack of rainfall coupled with an increase in population as well as pollution may lead to droughts becoming commonplace accross the UK. Especially in the South of England which is already considerably "water stressed". Toilet flushing accounts for 30% of our water usage - more than anything else.  The second most is the washing machine. 

We basically need to dramatically cut down our domestic water usage if we are to preserve the UK's precious water supply. The average British household uses 450 litres per day. In one and a half years you would be able to fill up the petrol tank of a Boeing 747.
