WHO IS WHC?
WHC stands for Water, Hygiene, Convenience.
Water is the company’s focus.
Hygiene represents the green economy the company contributes towards.
Convenience signifies the innovative technologies and services that WHC offers the market.
WHC’s main business operation is to introduce novel water-saving technologies and complementary services to make properties more environmentally friendly, water-efficient, and cost-effective.
WHC was founded by Paseka Lesolang in 2007. The WHC Leak-Less Valve™ is one of the innovations that he developed as he was attending to his grandmother’s leaking toilet. He further developed demonstrators of his water-saving inventions and used his grandmother’s garage as WHC’s office. Today WHC is a multinational award-winning water management solutions company that is very passionate about the preservation of the most precious resource.
HUMBLE BEGINNINGS
WHC supplies a range of water-saving products. However, WHC’s first technology was the WHC Leak-Less Valve™. The WHC Leak-Less Valve’s™ purpose is to detect leaks in toilets and stop the water loss. The WHC Leak-Less Valve™ addresses leaks in the toilets because the toilet is the single largest water consumer in the house, consuming approximately 28% of all usage. Toilets depreciate and inevitably leak, eligible to waste over 700 liters of water a day (equivalent to 7 bathtubs). The WHC Leak-Less Valve™ is a patented water control device that saves the water and money that is used to pay for this water loss when the toilet is not in use. The WHC Leak-Less Valve™ can be retrofitted into existing toilet cisterns or preinstalled into new toilet cisterns before sales. It is easy to install and use. It is eco-friendly and grants pride of ownership. WHC is the patent holder in several countries, exclusive manufacturer, and supplier of the WHC Leak-Less Valve™.
