The WaterFlush flush system promises to save up to 50% of water by replacing the traditional toilet mechanism with a simple tipping box, without a button, drain seal, or parts prone to jamming

The toilet flush often goes unnoticed in the household routine, but it has a significant impact on residential consumption. This is where WaterFlush aims to make a difference.

Instead of relying on the traditional set, with float, seal, button, and internal components, the equipment uses a tipping basin that releases water through direct mechanical movement.

The proposal is to reduce common failures, especially silent leaks, which can go unnoticed for months. In conventional systems, the buildup of limescale and the wear of seals are among the problems cited as causes of waste.

Fewer parts, adjustable volume, and focus on leaks

The main differentiator of WaterFlush is simplification. Without a bell, drain seal, or activation button, the equipment eliminates parts considered sensitive in traditional flush boxes.

The volume used per activation can be adjusted between 1 and 6 liters, as needed. The comparison is relevant because some old toilets still use 9 liters or more per flush.

This adjustment allows adapting water use without replacing the entire toilet. The goal of the flush system is to reduce consumption at the exact point where potable water usually goes directly to the sewer.

French invention was patented and awarded

WaterFlush was developed by Norberto Neves, who dedicated years to creating the solution before patent registration EP2334875A1. The invention received a gold medal at the 2012 Lépine Competition and a silver medal in Geneva in 2013.

EcoNeves bets that the reduction of hidden leaks and water savings will help offset the investment. The product is available in stores like Bricozor and Cazabox.

Would you replace the traditional flush with a simpler system, without complex internal parts, if it could reduce leaks and save water every month? Tell us in the comments if the promised savings, price, and installation would make sense in your home.
