Toilets key to significant water savings
Toilets account for about 20 per cent of Australia’s water usage, with each one having on average 12 flushes a day!** Government sources say that new generation toilets and urinals will account for 23 per cent of the country’s water savings by 2015*.
Leading the charge in water saving technology and streamlined, organic design is global bathroom brand, Kohler. Investing heavily in research and development, the brand has four designs featuring the country’s highest level of water efficiency (4 star WELS) together with some of the most attractive shapes yet to be seen in the bathroom.
Kohler designs such as Panache, Parliament, Escale and Ove, whether in the popular ‘back-to-wall‘ or ‘wall hung‘ options, all boast the maximum four star WELS water efficiency rating using an average 3.3 litres per flush. This means a saving of about 104 litres a day based on the national average of 12 flushes a day**. Over a year this translates to a very significant 38,000 litres of water.
