March 31st, 2010Just flush a potato and two limes down a High Efficiency Dual Flush Toilet!
On Monday, March 29 Caroma, the worldwide leader in highly efficient dual flush toilets for commercial and residential use, had their Profile Smart toilet with integrated sink and Sydney Smart™ toilet featured on The Today Show’s Green Gadget Time segment. In anticipation of this year’s Earth Day, renowned gadget expert Steve Greenberg demonstrated the features and benefits of Caroma’s water conserving yet powerful toilets to Kathy Lee Gifford, Hoda Kotb and the millions of viewers who tune into the popular daily morning program.
In the segment, Greenberg described how the Caroma Profile Smart toilet effectively recycles water by allowing users to wash their hands in the integrated sink with fresh water that drains into the toilet tank to power the following flush. Greenberg wowed the audience by easily flushing a potato and two limes down the Sydney Smart toilet. This successful demonstration proved how the large trap together with the flush-down technology of the Sydney Smart toilet virtually eliminates blockages even when using the low-flow feature of only 0.8 gallons of water!

Caroma Dual Flush Toilets
You can't do that! Flushing two limes and a potato.
It worked! Two limes and a potato flushed with a Caroma toilet.
Toilets account for approx. 30% of water used indoors. By installing a Dual Flush toilet you can save approx. 40% of water being flushed down the toilet, compared to a standard, modern 1.6 gpf (gallons per flush) model. If your toilet has been installed prior to 1994, you are using 3.5 gallons or more each single flush. The water savings you can achieve by upgrading to a Dual Flush toilet are substantial. By reducing your water usage, you are also reducing the cost of your water bill!!
If you are serious about saving water, want a toilet that really works and is affordable, I highly recommend installing a Caroma Dual Flush toilet. They offer a patented dual flush technology consisting of a 0.8 Gal flush for liquid waste and a 1.6 Gal flush for solids. On an average of 5 uses a day (4 liquid/ 1 solid) a Caroma Dual Flush toilet uses an average of 0.96 gallons per flush. The new Sydney Smart uses only 1.28 and 0.8 gpf, that is an average of 0.89 gallons per flush. This is the lowest water consumption of any toilet available in the US. Caroma, an Australian company set the standard by giving the world its first successful two button dual flush system in the 1980’s and has since perfected the technology. With a full 3.5″ trap way, these toilets virtually never clog. All 47 floor mounted models are on the list of WaterSense labeled HET’s (High Efficiency toilets) http://www.epa.gov/watersense/pp/find_het.htm and qualify for the various toilet rebate programs available in the US. They are available in round, elongated, regular height and ADA compliant “chair height” in white and biscuit.
