Have you ever thought about how much water is flushed down the toilet?
A lot!
There is a simple device called a Cistern Displacement Device (CDD)
Quite simply, It's a bag filled with crystals which you easily place into your cistern (toilet tank). The crystals will then expand to save 1.2 litres of water every time you flush. Suitable for toilets with a handle cistern 7.5 litres or more capacity (not the dual flush button type). This will save approximately 5000 litres of water a year.
Older toilets have a greater capacity flush than the newer push button type.
Toilets use about 30% of all the water in the home.
There are around 45 million toilets in UK homes, using an estimated two billion litres of fresh water every day. Water is a precious resource and we need to preserve it.

Did you know by saving water you are saving energy! That is correct, the water company has to pump water (electrical consumption) in addition it takes energy to treat waste water.
So we know we need water, why are we wasting it by flushing it away?
You can get a CDD free of charge from most Water companies.
