You can install the flush saver cistern bag into the flush cistern tank on your own with these simple steps:
Before you begin:
Installation:
A plumber is not necessary as the thimbles can be installed in both showerheads and taps in 4 easy steps:
The shelf life of thimbles can vary based on the frequency of use and the conditions of use and storage. Thimbles that are not installed should be kept in a dry and cool place.
Regular cleaning and inspection for signs of wear or damage can help to ensure that the thimbles remain effective in reducing water consumption.
The leak detection tablets identify leaks by providing a visual indication as they dissolve in the flushing cistern tank. When the toilet bowl has traces of blue-coloured water, it means a leak is present and you should call a licensed plumber to fix or replace the flushing cistern.
Licensed plumbers (LPs) are professionals who are licensed by PUB to ensure they maintain good standards of regulated water service and sanitary works. LPs are required to adhere to technical requirements, safety, water quality, and water conservation guidelines set by PUB when carrying out these works. Homeowners and service hirers need to ensure that they only employ LPs through credible platforms for their regulated water service and sanitary plumbing works. Public can refer to PUB’s website for a list of LPs: https://go.gov.sg/licensed-plumbers-info.
