Products - September 2010 featuring Water

Waterless Urinal
A waterless urinal can save over 10,000 gallons of water per year compared with a 1.0-gallon-per-flush model. While most waterless urinals use an oil-filled cartridge as a sort of “P trap” to keep out odors, Neo-Metro uses a “duck bill” diaphragm for less maintenance, but you’ll need to check with local codes to see if it is compliant. These urinals come in stainless steel as well as black, white, or fuchsia powder coat.

Stealth Toilet
The Stealth Ultra High Efficiency Toilet uses only 0.8 gallons per flush (gpf) compared with 1.6 gpf for most low-flush toilets. Stealth uses a patented vacuum-assist technology to pull waste down the trapway from below. Much quieter than pressure-assist toilets, the Stealth is available with either an ADA-compliant elongated bowl or a round-front bowl. This residential-use toilet has a 10-year warranty on parts and a lifetime warranty on the china.

Water-Efficient Faucet Aerators
Low-flow faucet aerators can significantly reduce the amount of water used in buildings and the amount of energy required to heat that water. Neoperl, the only U.S. manufacturer of faucet aerators, offers a wide selection of faucet aerators, some with flow rates of 1 gallon per minute or less. Neoperl aerators not only save water but can also be used to even out water pressure between faucets in multistory hotels and dormitories.
