Put A Brick Into The Cistern?
Often it is recommended to place a few plastic bottles or a brick into the cistern, in order to take up space and fill the cistern with less water...
This makes no sense at all! The AquaClic WC-Stop allows you to dispense as much water as is necessary when flushing. This means that all of the water in the cistern can be used if it is needed.
If you were to put a brick into the cistern, you might not always have enough water to adequately flush the toilet. This means you may have to flush more than once and wait longer while the cistern refills with water.
New Smaller Cistern?
Should I install a new cistern, which holds just 6 litres of water instead of my old 12 litre cistern?
NO, this amount of water may not always be sufficient to adequately flush the toilet.
The easiest and cheaper way to save water is to keep your old cistern and install the AquaClic WC-Stop.
Residue and deposits?
There has been a build-up of residue and deposits since I installed the WC-Stop.
If a toilet does not get used very often, then it is possible for residue to build up because each flush uses less water when a WC-Stop has been installed.
Cleaning the bowl with a toilet brush, even without cleaning agent, as well as flushing the complete contents of the cistern once in a while can help.
Blocked drains?
I've heard that saving water can block up the sewage system because not enough water is being flushed through the pipes and it is more difficult for sewage plants to effectively treat waste water.
Today's water usage is approximately 8 times as much as it was 2 generations ago, for which the sewerage systems were designed and on which today's systems are still based.
The sewerage plants can treat waste water more effectively if it is more concentrated. |
