Tony Rheinberg, Senior Sector Marketing Manager at Armitage Shanks, commented: “We’re extremely proud to have created a solution which supports thousands of vulnerable people in the UK who need it.

In economy operating mode, an additional delay of 15 minutes is provided before the normal mode cycle is activated, to save even more water resources.”
