2. PRESS THE BUTTON

We provided Roca with a starting point and most of the goals have been achieved. Unfortunately, the lack of time has left the team unable to finish everything they wanted such as constructing a prototype in order to test the design.

The prototype would have confirmed the assump-tions we made as to how the system will operate and help us identify the problems the team en-countered.

The final concept was approved by Roca and they are considering manufacturing the product using our concept as a guide for the future design. It is an innovative system that has a positive potential on the market.

In case the user needs to install a bathroom in any area of the house. A system of this nature allows the installation of a toilet in a room that has no direct connection to the sewer line.

Plug & Flush is a toilet equipped with a grinding-pumping system designed to evacuate sanitary residual waters from the toilet and from the sink.
