Upgrade Your Urinal: A Plumber’s Journey Replacing a Cistern with an IntelliFlush Smart Cistern with Timer
As technology advances, even the most traditional fixtures in our homes and workplaces are getting smarter. Today, we’re diving into the story of a plumber tasked with upgrading a standard urinal cistern to an IntelliFlush Smart Cistern with Timer.
Let’s explore the process, benefits, and the transformation that takes place when plumbing meets modern tech.
The Problem: Old Cistern, New Challenges
Our journey starts with an office building bathroom that’s been struggling with an outdated, manual flush urinal cistern. While functional, it came with its share of inefficiencies, such as excessive water usage and occasional leaks. The facility manager was ready to upgrade to a more reliable, water-saving solution: the IntelliFlush Smart Cistern with Timer.
The office had frequent complaints about improper flushing—either too much water or not enough. The goal was clear: improve efficiency, reduce water wastage, and create a hassle-free user experience.
The Solution: IntelliFlush Smart Cistern with Timer
The IntelliFlush Smart Cistern is a game-changer for public restrooms. It features:
- Automated flush control with adjustable timers.
- Water-saving technology that ensures optimal flushes.
- Timer based activation to reduce contact with surfaces, improving hygiene.
- Easy programmability to schedule flush intervals.
Step 1: Removing the Old Cistern
The first step in the process was to safely remove the existing manual cistern. The plumber turned off the water supply and carefully disconnected the water inlet and outlet pipes. Once drained, the old cistern was removed from its mounting.
Step 2: Installing the IntelliFlush Smart Cistern
The new IntelliFlush cistern required precise installation. The plumber ensured the mounting was sturdy and properly aligned with the urinal. After securing it, the water supply was reconnected, making sure that all connections were tight and free from leaks.
Next, the plumber connected the cistern to the sparge pipe, making sure the connections were tight and free from leaks.
Step 3: Programming the Timer
One of the IntelliFlush system’s best features is its adjustable timer. The plumber programmed it to flush the urinal automatically at pre-set intervals—ensuring that even during off-peak hours, the urinal remains clean and odor-free. The system could also be adjusted to minimize water use during less busy periods.
Step 4: Testing and Fine-Tuning
Once installed, the plumber turned the water supply back on and checked for leaks. The next step was to test the timer and activation of the solenoid valve to release the water. The urinal flushed perfectly at regular intervals, and the timer triggered on-demand flushes without any delay.
The system was fine-tuned to meet the office’s needs, balancing hygiene and water conservation. The timer was set to flush automatically every few hours when the bathroom wasn’t in use.
The Results: Efficiency and Hygiene Upgraded
The office now had a fully functioning IntelliFlush Smart Cistern with Timer that brought several benefits:
- Water savings: The timer ensures that only the necessary amount of water is used, reducing waste and utility costs.
- Improved hygiene: With touchless flushing, there’s less risk of germs spreading in the restroom.
- Reduced maintenance: The programmable system means fewer manual flushes and less wear and tear on the plumbing.
The facility manager was impressed with the sleek design and how seamlessly it blended into the restroom’s existing setup. No more complaints about improper flushing, and the bathroom maintenance team appreciated the reduction in overflow incidents.
Final Thoughts
The IntelliFlush Smart Cistern with Timer is a small but significant upgrade that makes a big difference in public restrooms. The plumber’s journey showed that even simple fixtures can be transformed with smart technology, bringing greater efficiency, water savings, and hygiene.
