You can save 30,000 to 40,000 litres per year by replacing an old 11-litre single flush toilet suite with a 4-star dual flush toilet.

The Caroma Profile 5 Toilet Suite Deluxe with Integrated Hand Basin is a WELS 5 star rated toilet. Save up to 70% water when compared to an 11 litre single flush toilet suite and separate hand basin, 10% in comparison to a Caroma 4.5/3L toilet and separate hand basin, and save 17% water when compared to a standard dual flush and separate hand basin. Profile 5 saves water by allowing the same water to be used for two purposes. Fresh water is first used for hand washing and then flows into the cistern to ultimately flush the toilet.

The Caroma Cleanflush range is a 4-star dual flush, 3L average flush suite. The rimless feature keeps your toilet cleaner for longer as well. Back-to-Wall suites are also one of the most on-trend toilets creating a modern look to the space.

Save even more water by remembering to turn your tap off while you're brushing your teeth! Cutting small habits like this truly make a big difference. We have a wide range of taps on our website available in various finishes. Sussex Taps retain a water-efficient WELS rating, and are available in 30 custom finishes!
