More information

What is a Hippo?
Hippo is made from durable heavy gauge Polyethylene, which opens up, origami style, into an open ended box shape when installed. The Hippo happily sits in the water underneath the large cistern float. When the toilet is flushed, the water confined within the Hippo is the volume saved. The Hippo also has a small hole which acts as a relief valve allowing slow circulation of water to prevent stagnation and evaporation.

Will it fit my cistern?

If your toilet was installed before 1991, it'll have a 9 litre or larger cistern. A Hippo fitted to this type of toilet will work well and will save up to 3litres of water every flush.

If your toilet was installed between 1992 to 2001, it'll have a 7.5 litre cistern. A Hippo fitted to this type of toilet will also work well and will save up to 2.5litres of water every flush.

If your toilet was installed after 2001, it'll have a 6 litre cistern (the current standard), in which case a Hippo should not be used.

Can I use a Hippo at my office or workplace?
Each employee uses the toilet about 3 times a day - over a working year, without any water saving devices fitted this amounts to 6,000 litres (6 cubic metres) of water. Which means up to a third of your water supply may be being unnecessarily flushed down the toilet. Fit a Hippo and save water and money!

How do I install a Hippo?

Remove the lid from your cistern. Put both hands inside the Hippo and push out the corners to a box shape.

Place the open end of the Hippo over cistern float.

Turn the Hippo under the float and immerse it in water.

Flush the toilet in the normal manner while simultaneously pouring about 4 litres of water into your Hippo.

Replace the lid of the cistern and start saving water!
