Why do I need auto-flush?
|
Public: public washrooms have been adopting autoflush for many years, to improve hygiene. However, a “dumb” autoflush system wastes a lot

Residential: IPEE Buddy offers a premium bathroom experience, with intelligent, automatic, touchless controls offering the best hygiene and sustainability |

My manual flush system has short and long flush controls |
Research shows that people generally use long flush, wasting more water than necessary. And manual flush systems still have the hygiene issues that are the reason so many customers are moving to autoflush systems |
|

|
Installing a power supply adds complexity |
IPEE Buddy is easy to install to a nearby power supply, and can be performed by a regular installer |

|
How can I be confident of the quality and support |
We offer full IPEE warranty, plus excellent remote support and on-site service where needed. All parts have been tested and proven through thousands of installations over several years. |
