The easy way to do your bit

Cimate change affects us all.Every government, institution and business on the planet needs to help reduce wasteful energy usage and consequently lower harmful CO2 emissions.Which is where eco-cube can provide a hassle-free solution

Most people often associate using 'energy' to be linked with generating heat or powering light bulbs for the home or office, usually from fossil fuels. Few appreciate or would consider that every time a tap is turned on, or the water flushed in the toilet, that using and disposing of fresh water actually burns a great deal of energy, creating CO2.

To provide and dispose of each tonne or cubic metre of water uses 0.905 kWh of electricity and produces 0.404 Kg of Carbon Dioxide.

The ever-increasing water bill from your local water company demonstrates the rising costs attributed to energy consumption in generating fresh water to the home and business.

A business with 100 urinals would generate over 5 tonnes of CO2 a year, just by the flushing water going down the drain! There is a simple product, that has been proven in thousands of urinals, which can assist in water reduction and usage to any business (and hence CO2 emissions).The product is called 'eco-cube', and it uses microbial technology to turn any urinal or trough in to a clean, healthy and odour free environment, without the need for regular flushing of water.

eco-cube works in a very similar fashion to the pro-biotic yoghurt drinks. eco-cube doses millions of friendly bacteria down into the urinal pipe work every day, where the bacteria get to work in ridding away lime scale and uric scale formations.Clear, clean pipe work ensures a healthy and odour free washroom environment, and ecocube, together with the urinal/washroom liquid cleaning solution used daily on the backs of the urinal and on the washroom floor, enforces a clean and pleasant washroom.

eco-cube is a visual and simple system that allows businesses to incorporate it into their establishment without any major modifications to any plumbing pipe work.Cleaning staff enjoy using the product because it is COSHH free and easy to maintain.They also know that seeing the eco-cube system in place is helping to reduce the impact on the environment. And if that's not compelling enough, think of the money saved by wasting less water. Save cash and the planet.
