For over 100 years, we’ve been an industry leader in the design and manufacture of toilets and seats, pioneering water-efficient designs and integrating innovative technologies. KOHLER toilets have been essential in shaping the style and functionality of the modern bathroom throughout the last century. Today, the advanced features and proven durability of our toilets and toilet seats are redefining ideas of personal comfort and cleanliness. Saving Without Sacrificing Achieving the best flushing performance with as little water as possible has been a focus of ours since the 1970s. So today, as local, state and national governments take action to reduce water usage, we’re ready with solutions. Our high-efficiency toilets can help you save up to 16,500 gallons of water every year. Our commitment to water conservation has been recognized by the EPA WaterSense® program for five consecutive years; Kohler received the 2008, 2009 and 2012 WaterSense Partner of the Year Award and was a 2010 and 2011 WaterSense Excellence Award winner.

As one person has remarked, flush toilets are the accepted social standard. The idea of collecting human excrement in a basement composting bin does not exactly square with the modern paradigm of gracious living. There is, however, more to the story. In what follows, we describe six composting toilet installations of varying types, currently installed for public use in locations in the United States, including three in California. We consider only those for institutional, industrial, municipal and commercial venues, i.e., those for which maintenance can be assured. We do not consider composting toilet installations for residential use. In our descriptions, we include comments by administrators, architects and users. As we shall see, every one of these six installations is positively viewed. We also include a section on frequently asked questions, including discussions of costs and possible legal barriers.

Conformance with these criteria must be established through independent laboratory testing, as specified in Section 6.0. 3.0 WATER EFFICIENCY CRITERIA 3.1 Single Flush Toilets - The effective flush volume shall not exceed 1.28 gallons (4.8 liters). The effective flush volume is the average flush volume when tested in accordance with ASME A112.19.2-2003. 3.2 Dual Flush Toilets - The effective flush volume shall not exceed 1.28 gallons (4.8 liters). The effective flush volume is defined as the composite, average flush volume of two reduced flushes and one full flush.

  • 2 the Robo-Toilet Revolution the Actress and the Gorilla
    George, Rose, 2014, The Big Necessity: The Unmentionable World of Human Waste and Why It Matters (pp. 39-64). Henry Holt and Co.. Kindle Edition. 2 THE ROBO-TOILET REVOLUTION THE ACTRESS AND THE GORILLA The flush toilet is a curious object. It is the default method of excreta disposal in most of the industrialized, technologically advanced world. It was invented either five hundred or two thousand years ago, depending on opinion. Yet in its essential workings, this everyday banal object hasn’t changed much since Sir John Harington, godson of Queen Elizabeth I, thought his godmother might like something that flushed away her excreta, and devised the Ajax, a play on the Elizabethan word jakes, meaning privy. The greatest improvements to date were made in England in the later years of the eighteenth century and the early years of the next by the trio of Alexander Cumming (who invented a valve mechanism), Joseph Bramah (a Yorkshireman who improved on Cumming’s valve and made the best lavatories to be had for the next century), and Thomas Crapper (another Yorkshireman who did not invent the toilet but improved its parts). In engineering terms, the best invention was the siphonic flush, which pulls the water out of the bowl and into the pipe. For the user, the S-bend was the godsend, because the water that rested in the bend created a seal that prevented odor from emerging from the pipe. At the height of Victorian invention, when toilets were their most ornate and decorated with the prettiest pottery, patents for siphonic flushes, for example, were being requested at the rate of two dozen or so a year.

  • Water Efficiency Standards We 1: Enhance Water Efficiency Standards
    WE 1: ENHANCE WATER EFFICIENCY STANDARDS WE 1: ENHANCE WATER EFFICIENCY STANDARDS New York City Plumbing Code and Administrative Code Proposal developed by the Water Efficiency & Building Stormwater Committee Summary Issue: Although New York City receives substantial rainfall, the city is still vulnerable in dry years and has experienced seven droughts in the last 45 years. Fortunately, the need for water can be easily reduced with more-efficient plumbing fixtures. Recommendation: Enhance water efficiency standards for plumbing fixtures. Proposed Legislation, Rule or Study Amendments to the New York City Plumbing Code: 1. Add the following definitions to Section 202: DUAL-FLUSH TOILET. A toilet that enables the user to select a high flush for solid waste or a reduced volume, low flush for liquid waste. HIGH-EFFICIENCY TOILET (HET). A toilet that is authorized by the WaterSense Program of the United States Environmental Protection Agency to bear the WaterSense label. NON-WATER URINAL. A urinal that discharges into the sanitary drainage system but is not supplied by a water distribution system. WATERSENSE-LABELED FIXTURE. A plumbing fixture that has been tested by a third-party laboratory in accordance with the WaterSense Program of the United States Environmental Protection Agency, has been certified by such laboratory as meeting the performance and efficiency requirements of the program and has been authorized by the program to use its label. 2. Add a new Section 417.4.2 as follows: 417.4.2 Limitation on showerheads. The aggregate allowable flow rate from all shower head fixtures (including rain systems, waterfalls, bodysprays, and jets) that can operate simultaneously in a single shower compartment shall be limited to the flow rate in Table 604.4 for a single shower head.
