I purchased the Interflush device, and have since emailed
the inventor to say how impressed I am.
It's
more expensive at £20 or so including
postage than the original dual-flush device I suggested,
but there are two major benefits with this. One
is because it works with siphons, it's impossible
to
leak in the same way a valve flush can leak. That
means you can merrily go on holiday for a fortnight
and not come home to find the toilet on constant
flush costing you a fortune on a meter!
The other benefit is you only hold down the toilet
handle for the amount of water you need, which I've
found actually uses far less than its dual flush
equivalent. Fitting it is reasonably easy, you need
a gap of a couple of centimetres from the top of
the siphon to the toilet lid, then a couple of marks
of a pen later, one large hole and 4 small holes
with the drill bits provided (that are marked up
so they can't be drilled any further than necessary
preventing you damaging your siphon), job's done.
It really is clever stuff yet incredibly simple.
I hope this encourages others to consider this device
and I'm sure you'll be as pleased with the results
as I am, in particular having peace of mind that
the siphon can't leak like a valve does so you know
one of these will be even more efficient than the
dual flush toilets that are so highly recommended
by our government.

Great idea, cheap and easy way to save water
and money!!

I placed my order with you yesterday, the interflush
arrived today and
is now installed and works a treat.
Thank you very much for the quick response and for
such a cleaver,
simple and effective device.
I shall be spreading the word.

Just to say that I bought two units to fit
to our toilets.
I must say that the thought of drilling into
the siphon seemed to be a very final and
scary step to take. However, it was
quite easy with the drill bits provided,
although I did make a better job of the second
fitting than the first.
My wife said that you had seen me coming
when she first saw the kits. How wrong
she was. I have only recently changed
over to metered water, and so have been keeping
monthly readings of usage to see whether
it was worth exercising the option to change
back or not. So I am fairly confident
that the interflush is saving 80 or 90 litres
per day. This works out as £70
plus off the annual water bill, as well as
a saving of about £10 on salt saved
because the water softener recharges less
often.
The cost was £28 for the two kits from
you, and £5 for a new flush handle
and spindle, so that the fitting was compatible
with the clamp units provided. That
means that I shall recover the costs in less
than six months.
Well done, your contribution to saving the
planet.

Thank you so much for the 4 kits (ordered yesterday,
delivered and fitted today!). The quality of the product
is most impressive, high quality plastic mouldings
and
superb instructions with just the right pictures to
illustrate them. The whole idea is brilliant.

David, thanks for the video it was very helpful and
made it simple to fit. It works a treat, just what
I
have been looking for and I will certainly tell my
friends about it, thanks again.
Mr L. Fretwell.
Thank you for sending me one of your Interflush devices.
I had it installed by a local plumber last Friday and
it is working well.
Although we are not short of water in the Lake District
(even though we have had a dry spring) I am keen to
save water in principle and should like my friends
to
follow suit.

I have recently purchased one of your flushing devices
for one of my toilets at home and was very impressed
with it. I would like to purchase two more.
Mr
E. Archibald
Interflush received today and fitted in about 20 minutes.
Works perfectly.
Excellent product, thank you.
T. Carder, Brighton
I quite recently purchased two Interflush devices and
after some initial nervousness about drilling holes
in important bits of my toilet I was pleasantly surprised
by how easy it was to fit. The Interflush is particularly
helpful to me as I have a water meter installed, but
even if I had not, I would still have purchased the
Interflush.
Mr
J. Russell
I thought you would like to know that I have just had
a refund of £50 and my
monthly water and sewerage payments have been cut from £16.50 to £9.50.
The Interflush isn't wholly responsible for this but
I estimate it saves between
1/3 and 1/2 of the water I would formerly have used
in flushing the
lavatory, or about 1/10 of my total water consumption.
