Sensor technology
Attached directly to the pipe, the sensor
is positioned 45 degrees under the waste
trap to optimise urine detection and the
detection of waste pipe blockages.
When a blockage is identified the flush
is deactivated to prevent flooding and
a maintenance alert is triggered.*

*As soon as the green key ring is empty, the key valve needs to be replaced. This occurs after approximately 7,500 usages.
Depending on usage, it must be replaced 2 to 3 times per year. Therefore each valve can save 20,000-40,000 litres of water.
