AMERICAN SIPHONIC FLUSH SYSTEM

niagaracorp.com / 800.831.8383

A 0.8 Gallon Flush, Now Proven in Over 500,000 Installations! In 2009, Niagara Conservation put toilet technology on a higher plane. Flushing on just 0.8 gallons, Stealth® was the first, and is still the only true UHET® (Ultra-High-Efficiency-Toilet).

Since then, over half a million Stealth toilets have been installed globally, delivering quiet, powerful and virtually trouble-free performance for our customers!

Flawless performance in real-world residential and commercial applications proves that Stealth technology works! With water consumption that cuts the industry standard in half, Stealth quietly gets the job done with one flush, leaving a clean bowl every time from the large water surface. Plus, all the working parts in a Stealth toilet are covered by a 10-year warranty.

And, the tank, bowl and other ceramic components of the Stealth toilet are Made in the U.S.A.

Every Stealth toilet is EPA WaterSense labeled, which can help homes and commercial buildings achieve LEED Gold or Platinum certification.

Stealth® toilets work because of the patented American Siphonic Flush System, with vacuum-assist technology.

Stealth is also equipped with another proven performer, the Fluidmaster 400A Fill Valve.

Save One Billion Gallons in One Year!

When a 0.8 gpf Stealth Toilet is installed along with water-saving faucet aerators and showerheads, the resulting Stealth System will save up to 40,000 gallons of water per year, per household.

That means, if 25,000 homes are retrofitted with the Stealth System, the annual savings will be one billion gallons of water!



Stealth toilets utilize patented vacuum-assisted technology, with a second separate water chamber inside the tank.

Dual Flush TechnologyThe Stealth Dual Flush has primary and secondary inner chambers. When the “full flush” button is pressed, both the primary and secondary chambers release a total of 0.95 gallons of water, to handle solid waste.

When the “HALF” button is pressed, only the primary chamber is used, releasing 0.5 gallons of water, to handle liquid waste.

Primary Chamber

Secondary Chamber

When the flush button is pressed, water leaving the tank forces water through the openings in the side and front of the bowl rim.

Water flows down through the bowl, thoroughly rinsing the surface.

Water leaves the tank and enters the trapway under pressure.

Water begins to refill the inner chamber and the tank surrounding it.

As water fills the inner chamber, it pushes air into an air transfer tube.

Air leaves the transfer tube and pressurizes the trapway.

Air pressure exerted on the “bowl side” of the trapway creates a larger water surface.

Before the flush... During the flush...

Stealth combines a siphon jet with rim jet technology and harnesses the power of air pressure to achieve

an unmatched level of water-saving excellence.

PCSC

As water leaves the inner chamber, it pulls air from the trapway into the transfer tube.

Air leaving the trapway creates a vacuum, exerting a pull that accelerates the force of water flowing through the trapway.

This “vacuum-assist” helps the all-important siphon effect begin sooner and last longer to complete the flush more efficiently.

It’s smart for the environment, and great for your bottom line.

From east to west, here’s how saving 40,000 gallons per year converts into savings on water, sewerage and energy utility costs* for just one bathroom!

Hot Start

A Unique Temperature-

Controlled SolutionEvery morning, millions of people with conventional showerheads

waste water and money, when they turn on their showers,

then continue getting ready for their day waiting for

the water to get hot.

The Hot Start Showerhead provides a simple solution.

When the shower is turned on, the unheated water in the plumbing system flows through the showerhead.

Once the water reaches 95°, flow is reduced to a trickle. Hot water is ready and waiting without wasting water or energy.

When the user steps into the shower and presses the Hot Start RESUME button, hot water flows again at full pressure.

Niagara Conservation Success Stories

Southern Heights, Southern Lakes and Waverly Apartments Atlanta, GA

Niagara, along with nationally-recognized water conservation specialist Tom Stallings, also known as “Tom The Toilet Man” of Water-Smart, Inc., approached the owners of three apartment complexes with an opportunity to conserve more water, in a total of 1,007 apartment units.

Each unit was updated to include the Stealth toilet, the Earth Showerhead, and 1.5 gpm aerators for kitchen and bathroom faucets.

After measuring water usage for one month, the overall savings averaged a 68% reduction in water consumption.

The highest reduction rate, 76%, was at Southern Heights, where the average daily usage, per person, dropped by 76% from 100 gallons to 26 gallons.

SAVINGS PER YEARPER UNIT: 40,500 GALLONS

TOTAL COMPLEX: OVER 20 MILLION GALLONS

PER TOILET: $540* * Based on local water/sewer rates

Richmond on the Fairway Lawrenceville, GA

This 243-unit apartment complex in an Atlanta suburb was built in 1976, and still had the original plumbing fixtures, including 3.5 gpf toilets, 2.5 gpm showerheads and 2.5 gpm aerators.

In January of 2013, the necessity to reduce consumption became clear, as water and sewer bills had hit a high of $28,723, and the corresponding water usage for 31 days was 2,218,437 gallons. Working with Apartment Water Management Company, LLC, the complex began a major retrofit project, using Niagara products. In May, 2013, 481 bathrooms were retrofitted with 0.8 gpf Stealth toilets and 1.5 gpm showerheads and aerators.

Monitoring monthly usage and costs, the complex has seen an average monthly savings on water and sewer of nearly $13,000. At that rate, payback on the investment is projected in 14-1/2 months. Moreover, it is projected that the value of the property will increase by the amount of money saved, multiplied by 5 to 7 times.

“Water conservation is the way of the future. It’s what my business is all about, which is why I’m sold on the Stealth System. All Niagara products are engineered to deliver outstanding quality, which helps make them phenomenally quick and easy to install for our team. Innovative products like Stealth really are the way of the future.”

University of California Irvine, CA

In 2011, a water conservation program was developed through a partnership between Niagara, the Irvine Ranch Water District (IRWD) and the University of California at Irvine (UCI). The plan was to install highly-efficient fixtures in three different student housing complexes at UCI. Niagara fixtures installed were Stealth 0.8 gpf toilets (replacing both 1.6 gpf and 3.5 gpf toilets), 0.5 gpm faucet aerators and 1.5 gpm showerheads. IRWD documented the water savings derived from these retrofits.

The project, which was completed in 2012, was so successful that the water saved could fill 475 swimming pools! UCI, home to six student housing communities owned by the university, hoped this project would contribute to their goal of reducing water consumption 15% below their 2007 baseline by 2014.

Reducing water usage by an average of nearly 40% at three of their student housing complexes allowed them to get closer to reaching their ultimate goal.

The project resulted in immediate advantages for UCI and savings that dramatically exceeded expectations.

Highlights:

• No cost to UC Irvine for pilot study; IRWD paid for all installations.

• The retrofitted buildings received new Niagara plumbing fixtures that were WaterSense labeled.

• Maintenance calls were reduced.

• The project continues to save nearly 9.5 million gallons of water per year.

• Water usage was reduced by an average of nearly 40% for the three complexes.

• Cost savings by the UCI facilities amounted to $43,000 annually on water and wastewater bills.

9.5 MILLION GALLONS SAVED PER YEAR

Due to this success, the IRWD, which spans 181 miles in densely populated Orange County, California, expanded the initiative to a district-wide Multi-Family Direct Install program. In addition, Niagara is now partnering with the University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA) on a similar program to install water-saving Niagara products in student housing.

Professional Property Management Des Moines, IA

Over a 9-month period, Professional Property Management (PPM) retrofitted every bathroom in four of their apartment complexes in Des Moines with a 0.8 gpf Stealth toilet, a 1.5 gpm water-saving showerhead, and a 1.0 gpm faucet aerator.

One year after the installation, Keith Denner, president of PPM, started looking at the impact of the Stealth System on his bottom line, compared to the two years prior to the retrofit. His calculations projected dramatic increases in the value of the properties.

Keith Denner’s calculations were based on gallons of water saved per year, and the resulting dollar savings based on current water and sewer costs. Dollar savings on maintenance labor were also factored in, resulting in the elimination of the need to replace flappers, and on a 90% decrease in service calls.

He then calculated the increase in value for all four properties, carrying it out over 10 years, using a 7% capitalization rate and factoring in a 7% annual increase in water and sewer rates.

Holiday Inn Express Hotel & Suites Phoenix, AZ

The Holiday Inn location in Phoenix was the first hotel in the United States to replace 3.5 gpf toilets with 0.8 gpf Stealth toilets. Since then, the hotel has reduced its water consumption by 55%, with no complaints from hotel guests.

55% REDUCTION IN WATER USAGE

“We were so happy with the performance of the Stealth in our Phoenix property, we’ve installed 100 more in another hotel in the area. I’ve had bad experiences with clogged toilets, and it amazes me that the Stealth uses half the water of standard toilets, but never clogs!”

—Mike Patel, Owner , Holiday Inn Express Hotel and Suites, Phoenix, AZ

Hampton Inn Trophy Club, TX

When Paresh Patel built his 4-story, 94-room Hampton Inn he wanted it to be as efficient and conservation-friendly as possible.

Installing Stealth toilets was key to the success of his company’s efficiency plan. Based on results at his other properties, Patel expects water savings will be approximately 30%.

NEW CONSTRUCTION PROJECT

“We have been using Niagara toilets for over 5 years and have had nothing but a positive experience. The Stealth toilet uses half the water of the other toilets we were considering, so it fits perfectly with our goal of being as green as possible. In addition, its price point and quiet flush makes it ideal for a hotel.”

—Paresh Patel, Owner , Hampton Inn, Trophy Club, TX

A Growing Presence in Hotels from Coast-to-CoastMany hotels are switching to Stealth toilets, driven by the promise that every Stealth they install can save 30,000 gallons of water per year, and by Stealth’s quality and dependability.

In Los Angeles alone, high-profile hotels that have made the Stealth conversion include the Andaz Hotel, the Sofitel Hotel, the Hyatt Regency Downtown, the Hyatt Place at LAX and the Sheraton Gateway.

Stealth toilets have also been installed in many Holiday Inn, Embassy Suites and Wyndham properties nationwide.And Niagara Conservation is now a Preferred Vendor Partner for Choice Hotels, which covers many national hospitality brands, including Comfort Inn, Comfort Suites, Clarion, EconoLodge and Rodeway Inn.

Wyndham Hotel Mount Laurel, NJ

The Wyndham in Mount Laurel was part of a major renovation project that began in 2012, and was completed in December of 2013. All of the guest rooms had 3.5 gpf toilets that were replaced with Stealth 0.8 gpf models. In addition, 1.8 gpm faucet aerators were replaced with 0.5 gpm Niagara aerators.

This resulted in a 16% reduction in water consumption, which equates to approximately 2 million gallons of water saved per year.

2 MILLION GALLONS SAVED PER YEAR

“When you run any business, everything is tied to finances, so finding the most resourceful option is very important. When we found out about Niagara Conservation, we knew we’d be reducing the hotel’s operating costs.

— Rishi Shah, Asset Manager Wyndham Hotel, Mount Laurel, NJ
