Conserve Water, Save Your Customers Money
Customers look to their contractors for so many reasons—they want you to provide design and product expertise, while being environmentally conscious and saving them money. It’s a tall order. But you can fill it, if you choose products that address several of these various remodeling concerns at once.
Reputation Builder
The demand for water conservation in the remodeling industry is not a new concept, but it’s taken awhile for green-sensitive product offerings to enter the mainstream. Today, there is simply an expectation that the products you spec in your projects operate as efficiently as possible, with the least detriment to the environment and the home’s infrastructure.
Water is a finite resource, but proper conservation allows your customers to do their part to preserve the resource for future generations. One of the best ways they can do that is to ensure all plumbing fixtures are in good working order — leaking toilets, for example, are notoriously responsible for high water usage and the resulting bills. And, unnecessary volume can lead to septic system repair problems and huge sewage costs.
Advise your homeowner customers to inspect their toilets a couple of times per year to ensure flush and fill valves are working properly. Or better yet, advise them to replace toilets requiring 3.5 gallons of water or more per flush, ensuring their product choice adheres to the toughest standards for water conservation and septic compatibility. And to maintain your reputation as an Earth-friendly firm, use products that provide the most efficiency without sacrificing performance.

The Dual Force™ Solution
STERLING® Rockton™ and Karsten™ toilets with Dual Force technology conserve water and deliver consistently reliable flushing. Choose between two water levels for every flush. The .8-gallon flush option, for liquid or light waste, can save a household of four up to 25,000 gallons* of water per year. This water savings is environmentally friendly, lowers water and sewer bills and can extend the life of a well or septic system. Equally impressive, the 1.6-gallon setting, assisted by the toilet’s flapperless valve and large trapway, consistently removes bulk waste with just one flush, eliminating the need for wasteful double flushing. A siphonic washdown system allows 100% of the water to pass through the rim, thoroughly cleaning the entire bowl. The toilets deliver precision engineered performance, meet strict water conservation standards and provide years of trouble-free operation.
The Rockton and Karsten, produced of durable vitreous china, are offered in a round-front bowl version great for smaller spaces and an elongated bowl version providing extended rim circumference for comfortable use by adults. The toilets feature a two-piece design with separate tank and bowl, an easy-to-use two-button actuator on the tank lid and a sanitary guard to help prevent liquid from getting under the tank. The toilets are LEED**-compliant. And you get peace of mind knowing STERLING toilets are warranted to be free of manufacturing defects for 5 years from the date of sale (including defects that prevent one flush cleaning of the bowl per ASME A112.19.6 1995 performance requirements, when installed and operated per instructions packed with the product).
Help your customers conserve water and save money by recommending Sterling toilets with Dual Force technology.
