Hippos in larger cisterns can save up to 3 litres per flush! This can save you 5,694 litres a year. As we have 2 large cisterns fitted with hippos, we save approximately 11,388 litres of water per year.

All the toilets in our office are now equipped with water saving devices called Hippos. Fitting a hippo in larger cisterns can save up to 3 litres per flush! This can save you 5,694 litres a year. As we have 2 large cisterns fitted with hippos, we save approximately 11,388 litres of water per year.

A Hippo is a small plastic bag which can easily be f itted into your toilet cistern. Water is retained in the bag, helping to save water every time you flush.

Thanks for your comment Grazzer - I agree and if I lived alone would flush rarely but as I live with flatmates who are more sensitive and less environmental, the hippo is the best option for our diverse household :O)

Good advice - I concurr with Ken Livingston though and dont flush every time - maybe not one for the office but at home is it really necessary? You can save a heck of a lot of water if you cut down on the number of times you flush.
