Propelair
Combatting water waste by reinventing the toilet
Propelair is saving the planet, one flush at a time. We are the UK designer and distributor of (what we believe is) the world's lowest water-flush toilet - new technology, reinventing a sanitation system unchanged in over 200 years. Engineered specifically for commercial, public and heavy footfall premises, the Propelair system connects conveniently to existing plumbing systems. It is also ideal for off-grid premises where waste removal is costly.
Replacing up to 7.5 litres(l) of water with 120l of air to propel the waste into existing drains with just 1.5l of water per flush, means easy installation, even retrofit. Saving money and water in out-of-home washrooms, Propelair’s unique ‘close-to-flush’ design provides far greater hygiene too. The closed lid seals to channel the air, reducing airborne germs, including Covid-19, by 95%.
