Can 3L of Water Effectively Flush Waste?
With growing awareness of water conservation, many are turning to low-flow toilets to reduce water usage. Low-flow toilets typically range from 3 litres to 4.8 litres. Some of the most frequent questions we get at Water Matrix are:
“Are 3 litres enough water to flush a toilet?”
“Can 3 litres really clear solid waste?”
“Will 3 litres properly clean the toilet bowl?”
The answer to all of these questions is…YES! — but only if you're using the right 3L system.
Water Matrix’s Proficiency 3L toilet is designed to deliver powerful flushing performance while using a fraction of the water consumed by traditional toilets. Proficiency’s patented flushing system uses air and water to create a vacuum like flush that is both powerful and quiet. This toilet line combines innovative engineering with high-efficiency technology to generate enough flushing power to clear waste, (including #2) clean the bowl without needing excessive amounts of water or a second flush. Building pressure inside of our trapway that activates a siphon when the flush is completed ensures waste is carried away effectively and efficiently with just 3L of water.
So, why is this important? The Proficiency’s flush technology is patented and only used by Hennessy and Hinchcliffe. That means other 3 litre toilets aren’t using the same controlled combination of efficiency and power. Competing brands may be prone to higher flush volumes (as much as 4-5L) right out of the box. It can also mean that the flushing power of other 3 litre models isn’t as strong, especially when adjusted to flush a true 3 litres. This can jeopardize water savings and result in projects that don’t meet water savings projections, delaying payback periods and altering ROI. Trust the brand that apartment owners, condominiums, hotels, and commercial spaces have used for over 16 years. Trust Proficiency.
