A recent study from Waterwise has found that toilet leakages account for up to 5% of overall per capita water consumption in households.
GROHE’s flush systems are designed to combat such leaks, reducing overall water wastage and contributing to a sustainable home.
The study states that many problems are caused by dual flush valves, some of which encounter issues when grit or limescale interferes with the flushing mechanism.

All of GROHE flush valves feature a bottom seal made of neoprene, which is more resistant to water with high levels of limescale content. This means that the seal does not harden or warp as quickly as a standard seal which can lead to leaks. In cases where the seal or part does need replacing, GROHE products are covered by a 5 year warranty for peace of mind.
GROHE also offers a choice of flush strength to help reduce overall water consumption in the home. Users can choose between 6 litres for the large flush and 4 litres for the small flush. This can be further reduced to 4 and 2 litres if requested. GROHE flush plates come in a variety of stylish designs, from white to Supersteel finishes, to match any desired bathroom décor.
For ultimate reassurance, GROHE’s brand new and unique Sense and Sense Guard are designed to detect leaks to protect your home from water damage. The Sense sends an alert through to your smart phone, while the Sense Guard allows you to shut off the water supply remotely, helping to make the bathroom and home eco efficient.
Michael Gray, GROHE UK Product Manager, comments: “All GROHE products are made with the highest German quality and this is reflected in our long life flush systems, designed to perform sustainability and efficiently throughout their lifespans.
"We are committed to helping our customers protect their home from the often costly and upsetting problem of water damage and therefore all of our products go through rigorous testing before coming to market.
"Our new Sense and Sense Guard are designed for ultimate peace of mind, allowing homeowners to stop water flow before any real damage is done.”
