Caroma announces the “One Flush Makes a Difference” promotion
in honor of Earth Month. Until the end of April, customers can visit
www.caromausa.com/oneflush to receive a coupon for 50% off the list price of
any Caroma toilet at participating retail locations.
As water conservation continues to be an important
ecological issue, Caroma dual-flush toilets surpass both the U.S. federal
requirement of no more than 1.6 gallons of water per flush (gpf) for new
toilets and the North American high efficiency toilet (HET) standard of 1.28
gpf. All Caroma dual-flush toilets include two buttons for flushing; the
half flush which uses 0.8 gpf for liquid, and the full flush which uses
1.28-1.6 gpf (depending on the model) for solids. They also come in a
variety of stylish modern designs that add to the décor of any bathroom.
For customers looking to learn the potential advantages of
installing a high efficiency toilet, Caroma offers free downloadable water
saving and conservation calculating files at
www.caromausa.com/calculator. Using
these files, the following examples were created to illustrate the effectiveness
of high efficiency toilets:
If one person uses a high efficiency toilet for
one year, they can save approximately 330 gallons of water (based on the average
three times a day flush). If the toilet is from the 1980s, when new toilets were
regulated to use 3.5 gallons of water per flush, 2,410 gallons per year could
be saved by switching to a HET toilet.
If five people replaced their old 3.5 gpf toilet,
over 12,000 gallons of water or the equivalent of 300 twenty-minute showers
could be saved.
If 2,000 people with new toilets switched to a HET toilet, in one year an
Olympic sized swimming pool could be filled with the water saved: 660,430
gallons!
If
50% of the 238 million toilets in the U.S. that are high-flow (3.5 gallons per
flush or more) were converted to a dual flush toilet, 1.4 trillion gallons of
water could be saved per year!
“Caroma feels so strongly about water conservation that we
are happy to offer customers 50% off our highly efficient dual-flush toilets
during Earth Month,” stated Derek Kirkpatrick, Caroma North
America General Manager. “Caroma believes one flush can make a difference in
the world and we’re committed to proving it.”
