This valve prevents water waste by ensuring that the auto-flush cistern is only filled and can only flush when the washroom is used. It features a unique patented hydraulic mechanism, meaning no electrical supply or batteries are required. It is designed for fit and forget quality and reliability. It also includes a hygiene flush option for periods of non-use, reducing water consumption and washroom odours. It is suitable for supply system pressures between 0.5 bar and 6.0 bar, typically for mains water or tank-fed systems above 5m head. It is WRAS approved.
This guide is for anyone using the Cistermiser Standard hydraulic valve. The key benefit of this valve is water conservation through automatic flushing. A potential caveat is that it requires a minimum water pressure for optimal performance. This guide will help you understand the features, setup, and maintenance of your Cistermiser Standard valve.
