A WATER-SAVING FLUSH
School fitted with TECE flush components
The building services concept for the Waldschule in Castrop-Rauxel does without
sources of energy that are harmful to the environment. It helps to save valuable
drinking water and ensures low operating costs over the long term. Forward-looking flush components from TECE also offer ways of drastically reducing the volume of flush water used.
The flush technology comes from TECE, the
flush water from the clouds – the newly built
Waldschule in the city of Castrop-Rauxel
counts on an environmentally friendly building
services concept. While a photovoltaic system
provides energy, a rain water tank provides
the water for toilets and the garden. From
their own schoolʼs example, the 250 or so
pupils at the Waldschule can learn about
what alternative sources of energy and water
can do. Thanks to the alternative concept,
the school will have low operating costs over
the long term.
A booster station pumps the rain water out of
the tank into the pipes for toilets and urinals.
The TECE concealed cistern with dual flush
technology flushes away faeces with 6 litres
and urine with a 3 litre flush. If less rain falls
in the future and the tank provides less water,
the new TECE drain valve and the right toilet
ceramics can help to reduce water consumption
significantly.
The TECE technology also offers the watersaving option for urinals. The electronic
actuationʼs pause function enables water
consumption for the schoolʼs urinals to be
reduced by up to 40 percent.
Innovative flush technology: The TECE technology is
hidden behind the toilet push plate (TECEplanus) with
its two buttons.
Gregor Kania is a qualified engineer for supply engineering at the real estate management department of
the city of Castrop-Rauxel and provided support for
construction of the new Waldschule with regard to
building services: “We set high quality requirements in
our invitations to tender. Functional reliability and the
meeting of quality standards are at the very top of the
list. After this, a repeat purchase guarantee and the
general availability of spare parts are of course important factors. If possible, the manufacturer should still
exist in 20 yearsʼ time.”
