Product description


TUBTANK can collect clean water from an air conditioning unit and re-use this for WC flushing. One air-con unit can 
remove up to 6 litres of water from the air in an hour, just by cooling it. TUBTANK can hold up to 10 flushes 
at a time, saving you up to 25%  of your household water.  If you are not using the air conditioning system TUBTANK will top up with one flush of fresh,  potable water as normal.  Install your unit as part of your new  bathroom installation with the  minimum amount of space  required, similar to a regular toilet cistern. Can also be used with other types of filtered greywater or rainwater.

Key characteristics and environmental benefits

  • Avoids reliance on freshwater, which in turn reduces electricity consumption particular if using water desalination plants to produce freshwater
  • Improves grundwater reserves in times of drought
  • Reduces waste water flows back into the drainage network, lowering the chances of flash flooding
  • Easy to retro-fit into existing apartments or flats when a new bathroom is installed, low space requirements
