The Pour Flush toilet developed through from funding from Water Research Commission (WRC) combines the advantages of both waterborne and Ventilated Improved Pit (VIP) latrine systems while eliminating their disadvantages. It has been tried-and-tested in the field for more than 6-years now and the results to date indicate that this is an appropriate step up the sanitation ladder from the basic VIP. There is a need for more demonstration projects to be built over South Africa so that role players in the sanitation sector can see for themselves how the system works and can satisfy themselves that this is a reliable and sound option for the future.
