Easyflush Direct is the new electronic flushing system for WCs from Cistermiser. The infrared sensor operated system, which eliminates the need for a cistern, takes its water feed straight from the mains supply.Removing the cistern, which would otherwise take time to refill, even after apart flush, ensures a second flush can be activated without delay. This makes Easyflush Direct ideal for venues that experience periods of high demand – such as sports stadia, clubs, pubs and schools.
Easyflush Direct, which comprises a shut off control valve linked to an infrared sensor, can help to significantly reduce water waste whilst improving washroom hygiene standards. When the Easyflush Direct sensor is activated, by holding one’s hand near the sensor, with no need to touch the surface, the valve is triggered and opened for 2-3.5 seconds, supplying water to flush the WC direct from the mains supply.
With no cistern there is no time delay during refilling. This means another full or part-flush can be activated again immediately.
During periods of low demand when the washroom is not in use, the Easyflush Direct system also delivers a hygiene flush, to maintain the cleanliness of the WC, and prevent the build up of stagnant water and keep odours at bay.
Fully compliant with Water Regulations and WRAS approved, Cistermiser offers two ways to operate Easyflush Direct, to suit various WC applications. Easyflush Direct Wave, which is operated by the end user bringing their hand towards the infrared sensor, and Easyflush Direct Walkaway, offering an alternative flushing system and is activated when the user stands up or leaves the cubicle, with additional flushes activated by the user’s hand.
The Easyflush Direct valve is fitted with a flow regulator that limits its flow rate to 100litres per minute. This ensures there is no splashing from the pan or the risk of an ineffective flush – resulting in drainage wastage. The infrared system is fitted with a 100 lpm as standard, with 90 lpm and 125 lpm regulators available to alter the flow rate.
“Easyflush Direct is an innovation in cistern-free, hands-free flushing,” said Cistermiser’s National Sales Manager, Bob Blincowe, “Due to the versatile nature of the system and multiple benefits in its water saving advantages, hygiene and capacity for high demand, it is a breakthrough solution for those seeking to cater for high volume washroom traffic. Applications include leisure facilities, sports and entertainment venues and even schools – washrooms in all of these areas typically see a high, intense demand at specific times such as half-time, intervals or break time.”
Company History
Cistermiser have been designing and manufacturing a range of high quality cost effective, water efficient products for over 30 years. The company developed its first product, a hydraulic urinal flush control valve in 1976 at a time when there were no regulations stipulating that companies had to minimise water consumption in the washroom. The desire to conserve water and promote washroom hygiene is the key driver of Cistermiser’s ongoing investment in new product development.
Two low pressure derivatives of the hydraulic valve were developed during the 1980s before the company added its first domestic product, Combimate, a limescale prevention device to its range in 1987. Investment in R&D led to the development of electronic technologies and the company launched a complete washroom control and the Infrared urinal flush control valve in the early 1990s. In recent years, the company’s product portfolio has expanded into all areas of the washroom with the addition of a WC flushing device, a mains-flushing urinal control, a complete anti-vandal range and a series of infrared taps.
Today the Cistermiser name is synonymous with quality and reliability and has become a generic term for all urinal flush controls. Our product range has evolved to provide water and utility savings and more flexible installation options. We now offer solutions for commercial, industrial and public sector washroom environments where security, hygiene and cost reductions are required.
