PERFORMANCE...

QUALITY DESIGNIn response to our customer needs, FLUSHMATE hasbeen designed with continuous improvements to be themost reliable, consistent, and trouble-free systemavailable.

The system meets every recognized standard, includingASSE, ANSI, CSA and NOM.

SUPERIOR PERFORMANCEThe FLUSHMATE system provides the highest performancecapability available today in the ULF (Ultra-Low Fixture)category. That means the system consumes less water perflush. This remarkable performance is achieved by usingcompressed air inside the tank, which creates a Turbo-Charged flushing action for effective bowl cleaning.Compared to other types of low consumption waterclosets, FLUSHMATE offers many distinct advantages.

HOW IT WORKSAs water enters the tank (fig. 1), the air inside is trappedand compressed. A built-in regulator limits the incomingwater pressure to 35 psi /2.4 bars.

When the tank’s internal pressure reaches 35 psi /2.4 bars(fig. 2), the toilet is ready to flush. When flushed (fig. 3), airpressure pushes water through the toilet at more than twotimes the rate of a traditional gravity system. The wholeflush cycle takes less than five seconds. Pressure technologyrequires a specially designed bowl. Gravity-type toiletscannot be retrofitted with FLUSHMATE.

PROVEN TECHNOLOGYWith a 25-year track record of reliable service,FLUSHMATE® has been the choice of all major domesticand international fixture manufacturers.

With millions of systems installed worldwide in avariety of installations, such as hotels, healthcarefacilities, public restrooms, and homes, this system has aproven record of exceeding expectations.

FLUSHMATE’s proven technology has fewer movingparts, resulting in fewer servicing needs than othercompeting technologies. So, for one-flush performancethat saves more water, FLUSHMATE is the clear choice.

The specialized bowl is designed with alarge and over-simplified trapway toallow for the easy removal of waste. Thetank is designed as a non-sweatingbarrier to eliminate wet floors around the toilet. Thelarger water surface area improves hygiene and keepsthe bowl cleaner.

standard dimensional area as a conventional toilet. A minimumof 20 psi /1.4 bars water pressure is required, which is less than

what is typically found in most residential and commercialapplications. Toilets equipped with FLUSHMATE III consume less

than 1.6 gpf /6.0 Lpf, and are available in 10", 12", and 14"; rough-in models, in all popular styles and colors. Because oftheir unique hydraulic requirements, FLUSHMATE products

cannot be retrofitted to existing toilet bowls.

For All Your Water Conservation Requirements

FLUSHMATE III has set the worldstandard for ULF performance! This operating system is used bymore toilet manufacturers than all

other pressure-assist systemscombined. The reason is superior

performance and reliability.

FLUSHMATE® IV Installation RequirementHigh Efficiency Toilets (HET) equipped with FLUSHMATE IV install in the same space and method as conventional toilets. The FLUSHMATE IV system requires a minimum of 35 psi/2.4 barswater pressure, which is typical for residential and multi-housing applications. This requirementmay vary based on individual toilet manufacturer recommendations. Check with your toiletmanufacturer prior to purchase. These toilets are available in 10”, 12” and 14” rough-indimensions, in all the popular styles and colors.

Taking Water Conservation to the Next Level

HET (High Efficiency Toilets) equippedwith FLUSHMATE IV are setting a newstandard for water conservation!While consuming less than one gallonper flush, these toilets provide theperformance you expect from apressure-assist fixture (also availablein HET, 1.28 gpf/4.8 Lpf system).

FLUSHMATE® is QuieterThe bowl design is primarily responsible for the soundproduced during a flush. FLUSHMATE® engineering can measureany phase of the flush cycle and examine the sound in amultitude of ways using advanced software and their acousticalfull reverberation chamber. Toilets from around the world aretested, producing information to help manufacturers improvebowl design. Based on sound test evaluations, the sound ofFLUSHMATE-equipped toilets is comparable to most otherlow-consumption toilets.

The peak flow of pressure-assist technology is morethan double that ofgravity-type fixtures at70 gallons/265 liters perminute. It’s a remarkable,simple and effectivedesign that has madeFLUSHMATE® theperformance leader inpressure-assist flushing.

Since a pressure-assistbowl does not require asiphon to extract waste,the trap dimension is thesame throughout. Thisallows for the easyremoval of wastethroughout the trapway.In combination with aspecifically designed jetat the entrance of thetrapway, FLUSHMATE-equipped toilets rapidlypush the waste out ofthe bowl.

FLUSHMATE-equippedtoilets stay cleaner dueto a large water surfacearea and vigorousflushing action.

Water is contained inthe FLUSHMATE vessel.The result is a non-sweating toilet – so thefloor around the toiletremains dry. Theadditional cost of aninsuliner tank is notnecessary.

Installs in the samestandard dimensionalarea as a conventionalwater closet, with no special tools.

Fewer moving parts, sothere’s less chance forthings to go wrong.

FLUSHMATE® IV flushesless than 1.0 gpf/4 litersper flush. Compared toother systems,FLUSHMATE IV saves 40%to 70% more water.

How Much Water Does Your Toilet Use?

If your toilet flushes 3.5 gal /13 liters per flush, oneperson can consume as much as 19.5 gal /74 liters*per day, or 7,135 gal /27,010 liters per year.

If your toilet flushes 1.6 gal / 6 liters per flush, oneperson can consume as much as 10 gal /39 liters*per day, or 3,760 gal /14,234 liters per year.

If your toilet is equipped with FLUSHMATE IV, oneperson can consume as little as 5 gal /20 liters perday, or 1,928 gal /7,300 liters per year.
