Eco-Cube Keeps Cash + H20 From Being Flushed Away!
by Kenny Luna, North Babylon, NY on 01.14.07
When the average school urinal in the UK flushes 151,000 litres of fresh water a year, there’s got to be something that can be done to reduce the flow of clean fresh water being reduced to wastewater and headed to the local sewage treatment plant. Well, thanks to the sharp eyes of Linton over at Hugg, it’s become obvious that the water can be literally turned off when schools switch to the use of the eco-cube. It’s a product that works immediately and with absolutely no urinal modifications required whatsoever, other than to turn off the supply of water running to them. It works by using naturally occurring microbes to break down lime scale, uric scale and ammonic salts naturally ensuring there are no bad odors or scale build up that could cause future blockages or smells. And with rising rates for both water and sewage in the UK, establishments are figuring out fast that they can also save a lot of green from being flushed down the toilet.

I think you got the figure of flushed water wrong. a toilet tank contains 4 liters, that means 150,000 liters make up for 40,000 flushes a year. If there are 1000 schools in the UK this means 40 flushes a year per school!!! you might have ment this is the liter figure per day?!...
Hey Nathan, I think you may have misinterpreted. In the original article they talk about 150,000 litres being for just one urinal. They don't deal with it by then dividing by any number of schools. It's just the amount per urinal they deal with. -Kenny
So are you telling me that in a 4 star hotel, a gentlman would use the facility then when he tries to flush.....nothing? How many guest complaints do you think we will incur in the next 30 days? I say 5 per day. Not a good thing. Engineering will be running these calls and get more frustrated by the day until the "Cubes" mysteriously disappear and the water gets turned back on.
