Cistermiser, the leading manufacturer of commercial washroom control products, has recently supplied its IRC valves to the Sidestrand Hall School to manage the supply of water to the urinal cisterns.
The infrared urinal flush control (IRC), which was installed by PJ Plumbing, Heating & Maintenance Ltd, utilises infrared technology to detect movement in the washroom.
Sidestrand Hall School in Cromer, which caters for 110 boys and girls aged between 7 to 16 years with a range of complex educational needs, utilised Cistermiser’s IRC valves to reduce water consumption in the school and minimise outgoing costs.
Cistermiser’s IRC valves automatically manage the supply of water to a urinal cistern. The Passive Infrared sensor (PIR) detects movement and activates the solenoid valve allowing water into a urinal cistern. If the sensor detects no occupancy in 12 hours it will automatically open the valve for 30 minutes to allow one flush of the cistern to rinse the urinals and pipe work. The IRC valve, which complies with the Water Regulations, can also be concealed to reduce risk of vandalism.
“We replaced the existing uneconomical petcock setup and replaced it with Cistermiser’s IRC valves to efficiently control the supply of water to the urinal cisterns,” explained Lee Jarrett from PJ Plumbing, Heating & Maintenance Ltd.
“Having previously installed Cistermiser’s IRC valves we were more than familiar with their reliability, excellent performance characteristics and ease of installation.”
