DURAVIT’S WALLMOUNTED TOILETS RECEIVE EPA’S WATERSENSE APPROVAL

Duravit is thrilled to announce completion of WaterSense approval for its entire offering of wallmounted toilets. WaterSense is a partnership program sponsored by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) that makes it easy for Americans to save water and protect the environment. This new development reaffirms Duravit’s commitment to the environment and exemplifies the “green” thinking that is engrained in everything the company does.

“When the environmental performance of our products is concerned, Duravit has one clear focus: any unnecessary water consumption that is technically avoidable is significantly reduced, so that capacities can be used in areas where they truly contribute to improving quality of life. We are proud to have achieved WaterSense approval for our wallmounts program and look forward to continuing such initiatives,” said Timothy Schroeder, President, Duravit USA.

The WaterSense approval of Duravit’s wallmounted toilets means that these products comply with the EPA’s rigorous performance mandate for High Efficiency Toilets (HET), which is currently 1.28 or less gallons per flush (gpf).

Each of Duravit’s wallmounted toilets, which feature dual-flush technology, allow for an effective 1.1 gpf, and test results in fact show that Duravit bowls perform at even lower averages while maintaining high performance results. This means that a family of four could save approximately 11,000 gallons of water per year should they choose to replace their standard floorstanding toilets with wallmounts.

Duravit features the largest selection of wallmounted toilets, from collections including: 1930, Starck 1, Starck 2, Starck 3, Starck X, Caro, Happy D., Vero, 2nd Floor, Foster, Darling and D-Code. Paired with the Geberit concealed installation system—also known as an in-wall carrier—it is easy to create a stunning and environmentally conscious bathroom without compromise.
