Student power brings Easyflush to Cardiff School
Published:  11 February, 2011

Cathays High School in Cardiff has approximately one thousand pupils which elects a Committee made up of one boy and one girl from each class and they meet to air student problems, complaints and suggestions which are passed on to school administrators. One regular complaint from representatives of all is that the boys frequently failed to flush the toilets after they have used them. Cathays High School contacted Cistermiser for help and the company sent a team to the school to review the problem at first hand.

The need was clearly for a flush system that could be activated automatically without any effort on the part of the user and Cistermiser’s answer was the Easyflush system but with ‘walkaway’ operation. Under this new mode of operation a flush is automatically triggered whenever a user gets up or walks away from the toilet. The IR sensors operate on a dual flush system, delivering a part flush if the user leaves within 45 seconds or a full flush it that period is exceeded. The ‘walkaway’ method is simple, hygienic and economical. Four of the cubicles used by the boys were fitted with Easyflush valves with ‘walkaway’ flush activation. The Easyflush toilets have now been in operating successfully for eighteen months.
