There has been an upswell of conversation regarding sustainability. Reducing water and waste creation through smart technologies, water-efficient water systems and the use of more sustainable materials has become a must, not a need. Resource and water scarcity is a growing global concern, and toilets play a crucial role.
First, water efficiency. Traditional toilets can use up to six litres per flush, while older models may use even more. In contrast, shower toilets like the Geberit AquaClean Alba are designed with water efficiency in mind. While shower toilets increase a household’s water consumption, about 2 to 3% more than a toilet without a shower function, the impact is minimal compared to the water and wood required to produce toilet paper.
The actual water consumption depends less on the shower function of a toilet and more on the flushing system. The TurboFlush flushing technology uses an asymmetrical inner geometry in the WC ceramic appliance. This creates a powerful yet quiet whirl of water during the flushing process, which cleans the toilet particularly efficiently and thoroughly – even the centre of the toilet and the siphon are completely flushed out. This means that a single flush is sufficient to clean the toilet thoroughly.
