Look for the new WaterSense label on toilets with FLUSHMATE® IV inside.
WaterSense, a partnership program sponsored by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), makes it easy for Americans to save water and protect the environment. As part of the WaterSense labeling plan, home products such as bathroom faucets and toilets will boast the WaterSense logo - but only if they perform at least 20 percent more efficiently than their less-efficient counterparts.
The WaterSense program offers consumers a simple way to make product choices that use less water, with no sacrifice of quality or product performance. FLUSHMATE® IV makes it easy by meeting and exceeding the WaterSense criteria - giving you exceptional efficiency and true high performance.
The WaterSense label is used on toilets that are certified by independent laboratory testing to meet rigorous criteria for both performance and efficiency. Only high-efficiency toilets that complete the third-party certification process can earn the WaterSense label.
Toilets must meet criteria in three areas:
| WaterSense Criteria | FLUSHMATE® IV | |
|---|---|---|
| Maximum Flush Volume | Effective flush volume shall not exceed 1.28 gpf (4.8 Lpf) | Exceeds WaterSense by using one gallon per flush |
| Minimum Extraction Capacity | Solid waste removal must be 350 grams or greater | FLUSHMATE® IV has almost double the extraction capability twice the flush capacity |
| Adjustability | The toilet must conform to the adjustability and other supplementary requirements | Totally non-adjustable, eliminating any tampering with water usage and guaranteeing low water consumption` |
