Faural design details

We are 3 friends who really care about the world that we live in and funny enough one day we gathered in one of our friend's apartment chilling out having a few cold beers. One of us was in the washroom (Restroom for American fellows) and we noticed that he keep flushing the toilet to cover up releasing extra gases he had (if you know what I mean by saying that). Obviously everybody was laughing because we all knew what was the real reason behind Ray's behavior. Well guess what? It rapidly came to our mind that there has to be a better way to deal with situations like this. You want to cover up some bad noises which is fine but you don't have to waste tens of liters of drinking water to do that. So we came up with FAURAL. A device that simulates Toilet flush sounds and at the same time conserves thousands of liters of drinking water per year. We thought we should extend our innovation and ask everyone to participate and make it a standard feature in every household. we are currently prototyping our device and we think it should be ready for mass production by end of March 2017. We are all electronic hardware savvies capable of designing and making electronic and automation systems for residential so as commercial usage and it's just that we want to make sure we are sending the message out and getting everyone to actively save the environment.

Here are some calculations:

Based on statistics,

In a home, an average flush uses about 3.6 gallons (13.6 liters), and the daily use is 18.8 gallons (71.2 liters) per person per day. In a home with ultra-low-flow (ULF) toilets, with an average flush volume of 1.6 gallons (6 liters), the daily use is 9.1 gallons (34.4 liters) per person per day.

Almost same amount is being wasted everyday to mask unwanted noises.

This means 71.2 x 365 = 25,988 Liters of wasted water per person per year

It also means a family of 4 will waste almost 100,000 Liters of drinking water per year.

It's time to stand up and do something about it.

Please get on board with us and save the earth.

FAURAL is an effective way to be proactive. Let's do something about future of our children and ourselves.
