FEBRUA RY 2018 | 17 Plumbing Products New advances in plumbing tackle water e•ciency and home health by LAURIE JONES Go With The Flow T he benefits of new technology in plumbing are creating some raised eyebrows, in a positive way, and sparking interest in how the latest products can be incorporated into multiple designs, save energy and deliver cost-effective performance. Kohler, known for clean designs and state-of-the-art products, now offers the Revolution 360 flushing technology, designed to deliver a powerful, swirl-style flush that leaves the bowl cleaner compared to a conventional flush. "For clients looking to achieve a powerful and clean flush, the Corbelle two-piece skirted toilet with Revolution 360 is a great choice," says Donna Church, marketing and communications manager for Kohler Canada. "The engineers at Kohler have mastered flushing performance and have achieved the best flush." The Revolution 360 swirl flushing technology is powered by the AquaPiston canister, which allows water to flow out of the tank from all sides (360 degrees), increasing the power and effectiveness of the flush. In addition, the CleanCoat technology inhibits the growth of water scale and mineral stains for improved ease of cleaning. "Both inside and out, the toilet is easy to maintain," says Church. "It's cleverly designed, reducing nooks and crannies on the toilet base to make it easy to clean." Installation is made easy with the patented ReadyLock installation system; ReadyLock is a simple solution for skirted toilets that saves time, hassle, and eliminates the need to drill into the floor. Blanco Canada Inc. has launched its Blanco Catris, the semi-pro kitchen faucet, a category that has been very popular among Canadians offering a professional look and function in the kitchen. "With Blanco leading the semi-pro product design, we are pleased to have introduced a new addition that delivers both style and performance to this category," says Edyta Drutis, senior marketing manager. "The Blanco Catris will offer a fresh and modern interpretation of the classic semi-pro look focusing on water efficiency at affordable price levels." The Catris features a flexible spring for optimal range of motion, dual spray function, 360-degree swivel, ceramic disc cartridge and a patented aerator for not only significantly reducing lime scale, but also for providing cleaning conve- nience. "As water consumption is very important for today's consumer, the Catris is designed with a reduced flow rate of 1.5gpm, while still delivering excellent water delivery performance," says Drutis.
