BAN THE BOTTLE!

The Brita Hydration Station from Haws is the best way to provide hygenic, touch free access to great tasting filtered water!

There is no better way to support a healthy body than by drinking water.  Sometimes at work or school the only option is to bring your own disposable bottle of water.  This is not a good option for the environment – plastic water bottles are choking landfills all around the globe.

Brita has long been recognized as a source of great tasting, safe water in the home.  Now, in conjunction with Haws Corporation you can have access to Brita water in any public space – dispensed from a touchless sensor, straight into your own personal, refillable water bottle.

Sloan Gravity Series 2 Piece Water Closets

Sloan’s new 2-piece gravity series vitreous china toilets are now approved, in stock and ready for sale in Canada.

Several improvements have been made to the offering, which was launched originally in the US market in 2010.  These improvements include:

  • Preinstalled the flush handle to speed installation.
  • Redesigned and strengthened the tank box to minimize breakage.
  • Created a dedicated tank lid box for additional protection.
  • Developed tank standoff parts that fit between the tank and closet to reduce tank wobble.

 

This new vitreous china offering further enhances Sloan’s high efficiency toilet series with commercial grade two-piece, elongated, closet toilet tank systems.   The contemporary design of these systems provides variations for flush volumes, allows for left or right handle and push button configurations and ADA compliance.  Vitreous china fixtures are pressure and water tested to ensure high performance.

Canada Has a new “Water GURU”

Water is a precious resource, but what are we doing in this country to protect it?  I for one feel much better knowing that the folks at the Innovolve Group are stewarding a succesful course for this country’s most valuable asset.

Check out Dr Anthony Watanabe on BNN last night discussing the role of water in our economy and the future:

The future of water and the Canadian economy

This is the same group who pioneered the Sustainability Studio – we need more forward thinkers like these guys! http://www.sustainabilitystudio.com/

Sloan offers HET and HEU combination packages in many configurations, to suit any type of new construction or retro fit project.  From .13 gpf urinal packages to 1.28 gpf and 1.6/1.1 gpf dual flush water closet packages, Sloan is once again leading the industry in water efficeint products.  The complete product offering can be viewed here:
