Bathrooms That Flush With Success (NAPSA)—For that flush of success, a growing number of homeowners are renovating their bathrooms. The improvement can not only save money and valuable water, it can increase the value of your home. For example, something as simple as a new showerhead and faucets are not only visually appealing, they can be more efficient. A new toilet can add beauty and economyto your home. Today’s 1.6 gallon low-flush toilets were mandated by federal law in 1992 as a way to conserve water. Some consumers were dissatisfied with incomplete flushes, ineffective waste removal, trap blockage and unsatisfactory bowl rinsing that have long plagued low-flush gravity toilets. These problems were solved when one plumbing company came up with a vacuum-assisted flushing system that made low-flush toilets moreefficient.

Featuring genuine Fluidmaster fittings, the Vacuity WhisperVAC flushes effectively and quietly every time, clearing the toilet without noise, complex pressure tanks and valves. All it takes is one flush. The flushing system in this toilet represents the first major change in toilet hydraulics in more than a century.
