Daniel Foster – Maintenance Expert View Profile →
- Pro: The wave-on sensor is incredibly responsive and avoids false flushes.
- Con: It is battery-dependent, so scheduled checks are a must.
Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Corner Slice, a popular pizzeria in Sheffield, needed to modernise its customer washrooms to improve hygiene and cut down on its rising water costs. Their old dual-flush buttons were constantly sticking or being misused.
"Our old push-button flushes were always causing problems. This KWC wave-on sensor flushvalve is fantastic – it's cleaner for our customers, looks more professional, and we've already noticed a real drop in our water bill. Simple, effective, and reliable."
Tom Allen – General Manager
The upgrade resulted in a 20% reduction in water consumption for the washrooms and completely eliminated maintenance calls for faulty flush mechanisms in the first six months.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Always shut off the main water supply to the cistern before beginning installation.
- This unit is designed for both new and retrofit applications; follow the included manufacturer's guide carefully.
- Before sealing the cistern, test the sensor's range and the flush activation to ensure it's working correctly.
- For best results and to ensure compliance, we always recommend installation by a qualified plumber.
Keeping It Going
- Regularly wipe the external sensor with a soft, damp cloth to keep it clean and responsive.
- Avoid using abrasive pads or harsh chemical cleaners which could damage the sensor or casing.
- The unit is battery-powered; schedule a routine check every 12 months to replace the batteries and prevent downtime.
- Periodically check for any slow leaks and ensure the valve is seating correctly after each flush.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How does the wave-on sensor work?
A: It uses a harmless infrared beam. When you wave your hand in front of the sensor, it breaks the beam and triggers the flush mechanism without any need for physical contact.
Q: Is this flush valve difficult to install?
A: It's designed to be straightforward for a qualified plumber, suitable for both retrofitting into existing cisterns and installing in new builds. Full instructions are provided.
Q: What powers the sensor?
A: This model is powered by standard batteries, which makes installation simpler as no mains electrical work is required.
Q: How long do the batteries typically last?
A: In a typical commercial setting, you can expect the batteries to last for over a year, though this can vary with usage frequency.
Q: Can I adjust the sensitivity of the sensor?
A: The sensor is pre-calibrated for optimal performance to prevent accidental 'ghost' flushes while remaining highly responsive to intentional use.
Q: What does 'in-built overflow' actually do?
A: It’s a crucial safety feature. If the main inlet valve fails to shut off, the in-built overflow directs excess water safely down the pan, preventing a flood.
Q: Is the unit noisy when it flushes?
A: It is designed for commercial environments and operates at a standard sound level, providing a quick and efficient refill.
Q: What happens if the batteries run out?
A: The valve will fail-safe and will not flush until the batteries are replaced. Many models have a low-battery indicator light to warn you in advance.
The KWC DVS Difference: Engineering for Public Spaces
When you choose a KWC DVS product, you're investing in more than just a component; you're investing in Swiss precision engineering tailored for the demands of public and commercial spaces. KWC DVS focuses exclusively on creating robust, reliable, and hygienic washroom solutions that stand the test of time. This isn't about domestic-grade parts in a commercial disguise. It's about designing from the ground up for high frequency use, potential misuse, and the critical need for water efficiency. The long-term business value is immense: fewer maintenance calls, lower utility bills, and a consistently positive experience for your customers and staff. This WC flushvalve with inbuilt overflow isn't just a part of your toilet; it's a reflection of your business's commitment to quality, hygiene, and operational excellence.
Explore more from KWC DVSHow an Adjustable Flush Puts Money Back in Your Pocket
Ever wondered if your toilets are using more water than they need to? The 'Adjustable Flush Duration' feature on this KWC DVS WC flushvalve kit gives you the power to decide. In simple terms, it lets a qualified installer fine-tune exactly how long the flush lasts, and therefore how much water is used each time. This means you can set a shorter, water-saving flush that’s perfectly adequate for most uses, rather than a default full-power flush every time.
Think of it like a volume knob for your water usage. You wouldn't have the radio on full blast all the time, so why do it with your water? By optimising the flush, you can save several litres per activation. Across hundreds or thousands of flushes a week in a busy venue, this translates directly into significant savings on your metered water bills, all without compromising on performance.
