Innovative companies are focusing on green technology to help conserve natural resources. At American Standard, technological breakthroughs that help save the environment are being introduced. For instance, its new Acacia Evolution Collection features a revolutionary Double Vortex flushing system for its toilet – a first in the Philippine market – which maximizes flushing performance and minimizes water usage.
The Double Vortex system has two water openings at the top of the bowl, allowing the water to be flushed 100 percent, creating two powerful whirlpools that flush waste away and clean the entire surface of the ceramic bowl. Unlike traditional toilets that have numerous rim holes that cause stains on the bowl’s surface, the rimless design prevents dirt from accumulating, which makes cleaning easy.
Compared to conventional single-flush toilets, the efficient flushing system saves 3.4 liters of water for half flush and two liters for full flush, resulting in approximately 22, 776 liters of water saved per year for a family of four.
“Excellent design is no longer just about aesthetics. Today, designers require the foresight to construct sustainable living environments for future generations while catering for various lifestyle needs,” said Khumtong Jansuwan, chief designer of American Standard Asia Pacific.
The Acacia Evolution toilets offer total hygiene protection. The seat, cover, and most especially the push button to activate the Double Vortex flushing system have anti-bacterial properties that effectively inhibit the growth of bacteria. This revolutionary anti-bacterial technology is the first in the industry to adhere to the internationally recognized Japan Industrial Standard (JIS Z 2801:2010).
All Acacia Evolution toilets also come equipped with Proguard, another innovation from American Standard that inhibits the build-up of water stains. Silica, which occurs naturally in water, bonds chemically with ceramic surfaces, thereby causing water stains. Proguard, which is applied to the ceramics, prevents silica in the water from adhering to the surface.
Combining superior design with innovative technologies, the Acacia Evolution Collection provides maximum utility and environmental sustainability. The collection also includes other ceramic wares such as washbasins and a freestanding bathtub. It also carries a wide selection of sanitary fittings that similarly feature useful innovations to help preserve the environment.
