  • ebuild (5/15/2007)
  • Building upon its pioneering line of water conserving toilets, VitrA unveils the new 1.2 gpf Gravity Flush HET (high efficiency toilet) saving 25 percent more water annually possible by using only 1.2 gallons of water per flush compared to the industry standard 1.6 gpf gravity flush toilets.

  • The SanicompactHomeowner Creates Guest Suite in Her Garage Without Breaking the Floor... or the Bank
  • ebuild (5/10/2007)
  • Saniflo manufactures above-floor plumbing, using macerating technology. Instead of routing waste and water through a drain in the floor, the effluent is moved to a macerator pump. The macerator uses a fast-rotating cutting blade to break up waste and toilet paper, converting it into a fine slurry that is discharged under pressure through small-diameter piping. The waste is then pumped into a septic tank or sewer system.
  • Saniplus can be set atop any finished floor.Saniplus Macerating Toilet System Allows Bathrooms To Be Built Virtually Anywhere
  • ebuild (5/10/2007)
  • THE SANIPLUS MACERATING TOILET SYSTEM from SFA Saniflo Inc. allows the construction of bathrooms where it is impossible or cost-prohibitive to install conventional plumbing fixtures that require below-floor drainage. Similar to a garbage disposal, the macerator uses a fast-rotating cutting blade (photo left) to liquefy human waste and toilet paper in the flush water. Within seconds, this fine slurry is discharged under pressure through a copper, PVC or CPVC discharge line as small as 3/4-inch to a soil stack or a septic tank.
  • Powerful Saniflo Macerating Toilet System Handles the Most Demanding Applications
  • ebuild (5/10/2007)
  • The new SANIBEST MACERATING TOILET SYSTEM is the only point-of-use grinder pump for bathroom applications currently on the market. Recommended for larger homes, rental units or any other situation where flushing sanitary articles might be a concern, the SANIBEST can efficiently discharge waste water not only from a water closet, but also from a hand basin, bath tub, bidet, even a clothes washer (indirectly through a laundry tub). Certified by CSA International for use in both the United States and Canada, the new SANIBEST represents a step up in flushing power from Saniflo's popular SANIPLUS model, which will meet the needs of a typical residential application involving a toilet, hand basin, bathtub and shower. The key difference between the two units can be found in their macerating devices.

  • The Kohler Sterling Stanton toiletKohler Co. Announces Eight Toilets to Bear EPA's New WaterSense Label
  • ebuild (5/2/2007)
  • On the heels of celebrating Earth Day in April and moving forward into the inevitable summer drought months, consumers are sure to be inundated with messages about ways to reduce water use in their homes and workplaces. To help make sense of it all and to spur consumers into action, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is beginning to test products for its WaterSense program, a labeling program that encourages water efficiency and the use of water efficient products that perform as well as or better than their less efficient counterparts. As of April, eight toilets from Kohler Co. earned the WaterSense label, which means these toilets use at least 20 percent less water than standard 1.6-gallon toilets while still meeting strict flushing performance guidelines.
