Cistermiser's EasyflushEVO toilet flushing valve has received accreditation under the Kiwa UK Regulation 4 Product Approval Scheme (KUKreg4).
The multi award-winning, sensor-activated solution is engineered to eradicate water leakage from dual flush toilets.
It is estimated that every day, approximately 400 million litres of clean, fresh water leaks from UK toilets, mostly dual flush types.
KUKreg4 is a robust method for demonstrating compliance with the Water Supply (Water Fittings) Regulations 1999 in England and Wales, the Water Supply (Water Fittings) Byelaws 2014 in Scotland, and the Water Supply (Water Fittings Regulations) 2009 in Northern Ireland. In order to obtain KUKreg4 certification, products undergo rigorous testing in a Kiwa ISO 17025 accredited laboratory.
EasyflushEVO does not utilise a flush seal below the water line which, according to the manufacturer, ensures it prevents leaks.
Cistermiser also claims water savings of up to 146,000 litres annually for each installed device which equates to offsetting some 1.5 metric tonnes of carbon annually as reducing water consumption helps lower the water industry’s operational carbon emissions..

EasyflushEVO’s unique patented design means no other solution on the market can address water wastage from leaking toilets in the same way.
The new certification applies to all three variations of EasyflushEVO: the 1.5” and 2” flush valves and the complete flushing cistern kit, which includes an EasyflushEVO flushing valve, a fill valve, and a concealed cistern with a 1.5” flush pipe outlet and flush cone.
David Meacock, Cistermiser’s technical director, says: “All products connected to the UK water supply must comply with the Water Supply (Water Fitting) Regulations 1999 or the equivalent regulations in Scotland and Northern Ireland.
Manufacturers have various routes available to demonstrate that their products comply.
"We believe independent evaluation by a professional and well-regarded testing, inspection and certification company is essential; it demonstrates our products meet the appropriate quality standards and provides reassurance to customers.
"Kiwa has robust testing procedures in place and importantly, the KUKreg4 database makes it easy for architects, specifiers, facilities managers and plumbing installers to source compliant products.
