With Caroma’s high efficiency (HET) dual flush toilets, you don’t need to trade flushing performance for water savings. Caroma’s toilets are designed to work together as a complete flushing system that takes into consideration waste removal as well as proper drainline carry out.
Using gravity forced “washdown”, this system delivers more energy from less water and pushes (rather than siphons) waste out of the bowl, quite simply making the water work harder and more efficiently.All Caroma floor-mount toilets are WaterSense labeled, meaning they use at least 20% less water than the current federal standard while still providing equal or superior performance. It’s a simple two button flushing system. The reduced flush button releases 0.8 gallons per flush (gpf) for liquid and paper waste. The full flush button releases 1.28-1.6 gpf for solid waste. This can save up to 44% more water than the standard 1.6 gpf single flush toilet and up to 74% more water than a 3.5 gpf single flush toilet.
Caroma is also a major supplier of high efficiency urinals. The H2Zero waterless urinal utilizes breakthrough technology to use zero water for optimum performance and water conservation.
The H2Zero’s unique patented cartridge technology does not use an oil-based seal, as traditionally used in waterless urinals. The Bio Seal™ allows urine to pass through the seal freely, eliminating unnecessary waste build-up within the cartridge and acts as a one-way airtight valve to seal the cartridge from the drainage system.
The Cube3 Ultra urinal is the first liquid-sensing automatic flushing mechanism that detects usage rather than motion to activate the electronic flush valve, eliminating accidental flushing. The smart controller automatically reduces flushing frequency during periods of high use.
Businesses and households enjoy other features of Caroma toilets. For example, the trap size is nearly double the North American standard, enabling the system to eliminate clogging and double flushing. Additionally, Caroma 270 toilets come with an adjustable offset connector for 10”-12” rough-ins that accommodate rough-in variations and make the toilet ideal for retrofits and renovations. The unique style and clean lines also provide for easy cleaning.The Hilton Palacio del Rio hotel in San Antonio installed 470 Caroma Sydney 305 elongated toilets in 2007. During the first eight months after the toilet installation, the Hilton Palacio had saved nearly six million gallons of water compared to the same months one year earlier. Guest complaints about toilet problems have dropped more than 90%.
