Furthering an ongoing commitment to products that conserve water, Caroma has recently introduced the H2Zero™ Waterless Urinal in the US. The vitreous china urinal incorporates unique cartridge technology that operates with zero water for optimum performance and water conservation. Another model, the Leda urinal uses only 0.48 gallons per flush while the Cube 3 Ultra uses a remarkable 0.15 gallons per flush, or a mere pint of water. Thanks to its innovative design and technology, the Cube 3 Ultra was named one of the Top 10 green building products of 2007 by GreenSpec.

All eligible toilets are included on the list of WaterSense labeled High Efficiency toilets, which is updated regularly on EPA’s WaterSense program site. Since I became a WaterSense partner in Georgia beginning of 2008, the list of Watersense labeled toilets grew from 115 models on 11/29/07 to 249 models on 12/15/08.

  1. Hi:

    Freetoiletreplacement.com
    We’re a participating ally with the Save Water Save A Buck program in Los Angeles County (California), offering FREE High Efficiency Toilets + FREE Installation. The toilet is free and we install it for free. We serve commercial and residential mult- unit buildings with 3.5-gallon toilets and 10 or more units.

    Our customers are saving water and cutting their monthly water bills by 30%. Our reps and our company have installed the toilets in our warehouse and in our homes and have not once had the need to flush twice.

    We’ve served and saved condo owners, big brand hotels, apartment owners, University dorms and commercial buildings hundreds of gallons of water. We’ve also saved them hundreds of thousands of dollars per year off their water bills. We’re so pleased to help universities and hotels meet their sustainability goals through our free toilet replacement program.

    We’ve replaced over 10,000 toilets and have many, many happy customers and excellent references.

    Who should apply?
    • Commercial + residential buildings
    • With 10+ (min) units PER address
    • With LA or Orange county water bills
    • With 10 or more water-wasting, 3.5-gallon toilets

    How do you know if you have 3.5-gallon toilets?
    Flush them. If they flush rather quickly, you have a 1.6-gallon. We don’t replace those but congratulations on already saving water.
    If your toilet seems to flush forever with a lot of water circling and circling, you have a 3.5-gallon toilet and you’re wasting water!

    Individuals with 4 or fewer toilets should contact smartwater.com or their local water departments to ask about the rebate program.
