FloWise™ Dual Flush Toilet: Big Savings, Go-anywhere Installation
Friday February 1st, 2008
Canadian households are among the biggest users of water in the world. At 326 litres per person per day, we consume over twice as much as households in the United Kingdom and in France. Only US households consume more.
Even Canada’s abundant natural resources cannot cope with usage at this level. Many municipalities and utilities across the country have established programs to reduce waste and limit unnecessary consumption. Many offer financial incentives to encourage the installation of high-efficiency technologies in homes and businesses, especially toilets, because they are the largest water user in the home.
FloWise – the answer from American Standard
Latest in American Standard’s new products is their Green Choices new High Efficiency water conservation FloWise Dual Flush Toilet. With a standard-size 6 litre tank, it qualifies for the designation High Efficiency Toilet by offering the choice of full or partial flushing. The full flush delivers 6 litres (1.3 gallons) of water; the more frequently used partial flush only 3 litres (0.7 gallons).
Saving water is only part of what the FloWise Dual Flush toilet brings to a household. It is simple to use: clearly marked push buttons remove any doubt about how to choose between the two levels of flush. It is simple to install, with standard 12-inch rough in and a front-positioned outlet for more convenient access. The elongated bowl, designed to flush waste more efficiently, is also more comfortable in use than older designs.
And it’s a good looking two-piece unit, complete with transitional styling that complements a wide range of bathroom fixtures – important, in view of the fact that the FloWise Dual Flush toilet will often be used to replace an older water-wasting unit.
The American Standard FloWise Dual Flush 2-piece toilet is available in white. Buyers should check with their municipality or utility for potential rebates.
FloWise Dual Flush toilets are available at Bath and Kitchen Retail showrooms and stores across Canada.
