Hydro-Brush News

Hydro Brush was recently submitted to independent laboratory testing to check our statement that its use, instead of the standard toilet brush, will provide significant savings on water use. Its official, Hydro Brush will produce the same cleaning results as a standard toilet brush in 10-15 seconds and require only 0.75 to 1.00 litre of water resulting in a saving of between 3 – 12 litres (0.7 – 2.6 gallons) of water per use.

Hydro Brushes are now being produced in aluminum rather than the brass of earlier versions. One of the benefits of production in aluminum is that the ‘brush’ can be supplied in any colour. Having said this, Hydro Brush advise that the product will only be available in a chrome finish for the immediate future.

Hydo Brush stock is due to be available in retail outlets during the second week in May and advanced orders are already in advance of predictions. Pre launch demonstration units have been supplied to a number of organisations and are proving to be very popular with all who see them in operation.

Having demonstration units out in the field prior to launch has been very helpful in identifying options and additional uses for the Hydro Brush. Apart from requests for colour options to match users bathroom colour designs, we have also had suggestions for other uses that the Hydro Brush may be put to.

We have already begun to address the colour suggestions by introducing a stainless steel version of the Hydro Brush which will make it easier to provide various colour options.

One of the additional suggestions we have taken on-board allows the Hydro Brush to more easily clean under the toilet rim. We have begun design work and will in the future launch a new three-in-one head that will have a ‘J’ design that will allow the user to reach under the rim more easily.
