A toilet cistern is the tank which is mounted above or behind your toilet bowl and holds water for flushing. When you press the flush button, water from the cistern rushes into the bowl and it cleans waste and pushes it into the drain. By choosing efficient toilet cisterns, you can save water every time you flush, reducing your utility bills, help conserve a precious resource, in cities with water shortages. Apart from it, you can support greener, sustainable living for your home and community.
As you know, toilets are flushed multiple times a day and in this, even a small improvement in flushing efficiency can save thousands of liters of water every year. With the use of innovative technologies, modern toilet cisterns are designed to balance hygiene, performance and water saving which make them an essential upgrade for today’s bathrooms.
Importance of Water-Saving Toilet Cisterns
Modern water saving toilet cisterns are designed to use less water without compromising cleaning power. Earlier, toilets used about 10 -13 liters of water per flush and this amount is far more than what is actually needed in most cases. But now with the help of efficient cisterns it can be done by using just 3 to 6 liters per flush. In fact, modern toilet cisterns focus on controlled water usage which helps households reduce waste without compromising cleanliness.
With growing water scarcity and rising utility bills, installing water-efficient toilet cisterns is not just an eco-friendly choice but also a practical one. Over the course of time, these cisterns help lower water bills and reduce pressure on local water resources.
Features of Water-Saving Toilet Cisterns
Modern toilet cisterns use smart designs and technology to reduce water usage. Some of the most effective features are given below:
- Adjustable Flush Volume: Many toilet cisterns now allow you to adjust the amount of water released per flush. This flexibility ensures that only the required amount of water is used, depending on household needs and toilet type.
- Efficient Refill Valves: Advanced refill valves stop water flow as soon as the tank is full. It prevents overflow and reduces water loss caused by outdated mechanisms. Efficient refill systems also operate to improve overall bathroom comfort.
- Leak-Resistant Design: Water-saving toilet cisterns are built with better sealing and durable components. Reduced leakage means no hidden water loss, which is a common problem with older cisterns.
- Dual-Flush Mechanism: Dual-flush toilet cisterns are widely used and preferred today because these cisterns help save a significant amount of water in daily use. These cisterns offer two flushing options: a smaller flush for liquid waste and a larger flush for solid waste. This system allows users to choose the appropriate amount of water for each flush instead of using the same volume every time. By avoiding excess water usage, dual-flush toilet cisterns reduce water wastage, lower utility bills and support environmentally responsible living without affecting hygiene or flushing efficiency.
Types of Toilet Cisterns that Save Water
There are several types of toilet cisterns available today, each designed to suit specific bathroom layouts while saving water.
- Wall-Mounted Toilet Cisterns: Wall-Mounted toilet cisterns are fixed on the wall above the toilet pan. These are easy to install and maintain and often come with water-efficient flushing systems. Modern wall-mounted cisterns use less water than traditional models and are ideal and popular.
- Concealed Toilet Cisterns: These toilet cisterns are hidden inside the wall, with only the flush plate visible. Apart from giving a clean and modern look, these usually feature dual-flush systems and precise water control. These cisterns are popular in contemporary bathrooms where both aesthetics and water saving matter.
- Low-Level and Slim Cisterns: Low-level and slim toilet cisterns are designed for compact bathrooms. Their smaller size does not mean higher water use. In fact, many of these cisterns are designed to deliver effective flushing with minimal water.
