Frugal Flow
Nortier, Richard

The plumbing products most appropriate for a high-end hotel or executive restroom will differ from those most suited for school and university restrooms, where large numbers of boisterous students may charge through the doors all day long. However, installing plumbing that can stand up to rough-and-tough student use does not have to compromise efforts to save water. In fact, two plumbing technologies, originally designed to solve problems common in high-use/high-abuse restrooms, also enable schools and universities to use water more efficiently. These plumbing technologies--high-use flush modes for urinal flushometers and monitored control systems--can be used in conjunction with other plumbing products to substantially reduce restroom water use.
