Eljer Inc. Introduces POWER 1GAdding water savings and Style to the Bathroom

    DALLAS, TX - September 2006 - Eljer, Inc., the company responsible for bringing the low consumption toilet to America, continues to pave the way in the plumbing fixtures category with the introduction of the latest water-conscience option, the Power 1G™ toilet featuring an elongated rim (ER). This revolutionary toilet helps homeowners save on water-usage as it only requires 1.1 gallons (four liters) of water per flush, significantly lower than the government regulation of 1.6 gallons.

    Adding water savings and Style to the Bathroom

    The Power 1G™ is a close-coupled, two-piece toilet that gets its powerful flush from the Flushmate IV®, which is a small, quiet pressure assisted flushing system. This unique flushing system combined with a siphon jet bowl and a 2-1/8" fully glazed trapway gives the Power 1G™ the high-performance quality homeowners have come to expect from Eljer, Inc. Not only does the Power 1G™ help conserve water, but it can also help save money. The most effective way to reduce the sewage flow from a house is to reduce the toilet waste, which usually accounts for about 40 percent of the sewage flow. Using a 1.1 gallon toilet rather than a five gallon toilet will reduce sewage flows from a home by about a third. This means longer periods of time between septic treatments and less chance of having a septic emergency.

    The stylish, sweeping bevel design of the tank and lid allows the Power 1G™ to easily blend in with a variety of bathroom decors. Available in both 14" and 17" ADA compliant rim heights and equipped with a large 20-7/8" x 10-5/16" footprint, this environment-friendly toilet is the perfect choice for any new home or bathroom remodeling project.
