  • Caroma, the world leader in water-efficient bathroom products, announced that 29 of its 30+ dual flush toilets for the North American market have been certified for the EPA's new WaterSense label. This label ensures that a toilet uses 20 percent less water than the currently mandated 1.6 gallon toilets, qualifying as a High Efficiency Toilet (HET), and meets rigorous testing requirements for flushing performance. Caroma has the most WaterSense-approved product as well as the largest HET offering of any brand.
  • Adelaide Cube Dual Flush Toilet Adelaide Dual Flush Toilet Saves Water With Style
  • ebuild (10/30/2007)
  • A new addition to Caroma's ever-expanding line of dual flush toilets, the Adelaide Cube couples water-saving technology with good looks. WaterSense approved by the EPA, the Adelaide is, like all Caroma toilets, a high efficiency toilet (HET). It features two chrome buttons atop the tank that release two different water volumes--one for a .8 gallon half flush, the other for a 1.6 gallon flush. As a result, the toilet can reduce water use by 40 percent over a standard 1.6 gallon single flush toilet.

  • Eco Nexus High-efficiency Toilet
  • BUILDING PRODUCTS Magazine (9/7/2007)
  • Eco Nexus is one of nine 1.28-gpf high-efficiency toilets introduced by the manufacturer this year. The toilets use the E-Max flushing technology, a gravity-fed, single-flush system with a standard trip lever. They use a specially designed fill valve to create high head pressure, which maximizes the flow rate. A 3-inch flush valve prevents clogging. 800-350-8686. www.totousa.com.
  • Clark SorensenCustom-made Urinals and Sinks
  • ARCHITECT Magazine (9/7/2007)
  • Producing urinals that are works of art, Clark Sorensen sculpts high-fire porcelain into large-scale shells and flowers. He does not use molds, so each piece is unique. The urinals feature holes for plumbing, with the flush valve on top. Sorensen uses standard sizes and also can accommodate special requests, such as aligning the holes so plumbing can be placed inside the wall. Customers can order existing designs, posted on Sorensen's Web site, or submit requests for new sculptures. Sorensen can also produce existing styles in custom colors. However, special orders take five to eight months to complete, because porcelain has a long drying time. In addition to urinals, Sorensen makes leaf, shell, and flower bowl sinks that measure about 18 to 22 inches in diameter.
