How much difference can a toilet make? It all depends on where that toilet’s installed.
Some businesses and homes prioritize water conservation, both for cost savings and environmental sustainability. Many larger facilities want to secure as many LEED credits as they can. Other places want a toilet that almost never clogs and stays clean-looking longer. And a quieter flush is always a bonus, no matter where the toilet’s installed.
You can meet all those goals and more when your toilets are equipped with the Flushmate 503UH pressure-assist flushing system—the first 0.75 gpf pressure-assist system. It delivers powerful, clog-free performance with serious water conservation, all with the quietest pressure-assisted flush in the industry.*
Here’s a closer look at a few scenarios where the Flushmate 503UH can make a huge difference.
Pressure-assisted Flushing in a Busy Restaurant
An independent restaurant has six toilets—four in the women’s room and two in the men’s. With a busy lunch crowd, a popular happy hour, and a strong dinner business, the toilets get flushed an average of 180 times each day.
Assuming that toilets account for 25% of the restaurant’s water usage, here are its potential savings with the Flushmate 503UH:
- Vs. conventional gravity toilets using 3.5 gpf: 495 gallons/day, 19.6% reduction in water usage
- Vs. gravity or pressure-assisted using 1.6 gpf: 153 gallons/day, 7.0% reduction in water usage
So, this restaurant will realize some big water savings—and with the Flushmate 503UH’s 233% waste extraction advantage over gravity toilets, they’ll almost never have to unclog a toilet during happy hour again.
A New Apartment Complex Saves 1,650 Gallons a Day
A new apartment complex with 80 units will have 120 toilets. The management team opts for toilets equipped with the Flushmate 503UH, and—assuming five flushes per day and 25% of water usage—realizes these water savings:
- Vs. conventional gravity toilets using 3.5 gpf: 1,650 gallons/day, 19.6% reduction in water usage
- Vs. gravity or pressure-assisted using 1.6 gpf: 540 gallons/day, 7.0% reduction in water usage
These numbers may actually be conservative—one 356-apartment complex in Baltimore reported a 57% average drop in daily water usage after renovating with pressure-assisted toilets.
A Junior High School Saves Water and Elevates Their ESG Scores
A junior high school with 1,000 students is replacing 35 toilets as part of a restroom renovation. Leaders consider 1.6 gpf gravity toilets but then discover the potential savings of the Flushmate 503UH. With each student flushing a toilet 1.5 times per day and toilets accounting for 40% of the school’s water usage:
- Water savings: 1,275 gallons/day
- Water usage reduction: 21.3%
The school’s maintenance crew will be delighted to retire their plungers and spend less time cleaning toilets. Meanwhile, the school district can apply the water savings to obtain a higher LEED rating and help meet their mandated ESG goals.
Multiple Advantages for a Single-Family Home
Your home might not use water on the same scale as a junior high school, but you and your family of four can still realize significant advantages with the Flushmate 503UH.
- Water savings over 1.6 gpf toilets: With 25 flushes/day and toilets accounting for 30% of your home’s water usage, you’ll save 7.756 gallons per year and reduce your water consumption by 15.9%.
- Clog-free performance: Gravity toilets always seem to clog at the worst possible times, but you won’t have to worry about that with the powerful Flushmate 503UH.
- Cleaner toilet bowls: Pressure-assisted toilets let more water stay in the bowl between flushes, so less foreign matter clings to the side. Plus, the tanks don’t “sweat” when temperatures rise, so your restrooms stay cleaner-looking.
When water savings and clog-free performance are a priority, the Flushmate 503UH pressure-assist flushing system makes sense in any setting. Talk to the experts at Flushmate to learn more.
