FlushEco looks to improve the efficiency of toilet flushing in the UK and globally by developing our Patented toilet flushing system which uses an internal 'Flush container' designed to operate using gravity. Many flush devices on the market rely on washers or diaphragms, these can fail allowing water to be wasted down the toilet pan or through inefficient flushing. This heavily contributes to the amount of water wasted in the UK and globally. Our innovative container does not rely on washers or diaphragms and is moulded out of one piece of plastic, so can't leak due to washer or diaphragm wear or failure.Our design is a 'Behind the wall' setup that can be installed behind walls, false panels and in bathroom furniture in-line with other 'Behind the wall' setups on the market. The flush water is stored in the Flush container away from the cistern wall, reducing condensation that can form on the outside of the cistern that causes damp, mould and material damage to the surrounding area. Our design will be easy to install, low maintenance and have approximately 1/3 of the components compared to similar 'Behind the wall' set ups.This project will allow FlushEco to develop our patented proof-of-concept design into a viable working prototype, designed with high-volume manufacture and low cost in mind.

FlushEco希望通过开发我们的专利厕所冲洗系统来提高英国和全球厕所冲洗的效率，该系统使用内部“冲洗容器”，设计用于利用重力操作。市场上的许多冲洗设备依赖于洗衣机或隔膜，这些设备可能会出现故障，导致水被浪费在马桶上或通过低效的冲洗。这在很大程度上导致了英国乃至全球的水资源浪费。我们的创新容器不依赖于垫圈或隔膜，而是由一块塑料制成，因此不会因垫圈或隔膜磨损或故障而泄漏。我们的设计是一种“墙后”装置，可以安装在墙后、假面板和浴室家具中，与市场上的其他“墙后”装置保持一致。冲洗水储存在冲洗容器中，远离水箱壁，减少可能在水箱外部形成的凝结，从而导致周围区域受潮、发霉和物质损坏。我们的设计易于安装，维护成本低，与类似的“墙后”设置相比，大约有1/3的组件。该项目将允许FlushEco将我们的专利概念验证设计开发成可行的工作原型，设计时考虑到大批量生产和低成本。
