For TECE, sustainability means saving water when possible, flushing well when necessary. The cistern’s flush volume and flush flow rate can be adapted to any requirement, even after the cistern has been installed.

For all ceramics and all drain pipes:

Cistern with sustainability guarantee

The TECE cistern is a real problem-solver: The flush volume and flush flow rate can be flexibly adapted to the needs of any toilet, regardless of the ceramics used. With a 3-litre reduced flush, four different settings are possible for the full flush, including the water-saving 4.5 litre option. The TECE flush valve was awarded the DesignPlus prize for its positive features with regard to sustainability.

For many years, leading ceramics manufacturers have been offering a special toilet bowl that can manage with a water-saving 4.5 litres for a full flush. However, because the dual-volume flushing technology was not available, a single flush was used. As a result, flushing always required 4.5 litres of water and the water saved through the full flush was wasted again. The TECE cistern with the award-winning value now makes a real economy flush possible with dual-flush technology: 4.5 litres for the full flush, and 3 litres for the reduced flush. Users can thus save around 25 percent of water, as compared to the single-flush technology.

Maximum flexibility: By exchanging the control ring installed as standard, the flush flow rate can be subsequently increased or reduced.

Save 25 percent water

But the valve also has more to offer: With a simple slider, the fitter can choose between 4.5, 6, 7.5 and 9 litres for the full flush, while the reduced flush remains a constant 3 litres. This flexibility, in particular, means sustainability for TECE: The cistern’s flush volume and flush flow rate can be adapted to any requirement – even after the cistern has been installed. It does not always make sense to save water – for example in some modernization projects: In old buildings, the drain pipes are often not designed for low flush volumes. If too little water is used, it can lead to blockages and costly repairs. As a 10-litre tank with a full flush that can be set to 9 litres, the TECE cistern is reliable, and is as economical as possible: Even with a full flush of 9 litres and a reduced flush of 3 litres, the water used is 25 percent lower than a single-volume cistern.

The TECE cistern also offers maximum flexibility even after installation. With conventional drain valves, the flush flow rate can only be subsequently curtailed, but not increased. That’s not the case with the TECE valve: If you exchange the control ring installed as standard, you can subsequently increase or reduce the flush flow rate – four control rings are available.
