IT is projected that by 2013, 36 states in the United States could be facing a water shortage problem. Why should we be alarmed?
Although we are in the Philippines, it is not impossible that we could be confronted by such, especially if we don’t help conserve water today.
How to do it?
Noel Tolosa, American Standard marketing manager, reiterated the following tips: “Turn off the faucet while you’re brushing your teeth for that saves about eight gallons of water per day; Take a shower instead of using a bathtub for by using the shower you use 25 gallons at the most, compared to immersing yourself in a bathtub which will consume 70 gallons; and run the dishwasher only when it’s full.”
Tolosa said 75 percent of water is used in the bathroom, which is why it is best to fix leaky faucets and toilets.
A faucet that leaks at a rate of one drip per second wastes more than 3,000 gallons of water annually, while a leaky toilet wastes some 200 gallons daily, Tolosa shared.
Tolosa also said that a better way to conserve water at home is to use products that help save water.
“If you are concerned about conserving water then make your own contribution by using only good bathroom and kitchen products offered by American Standard,” he said.
American Standard maintains an environment-friendly approach through water-saving products and fixtures that make use of green technology, which significantly cuts down on water usage.
The brand’s line of urinal and toilet creations employ a dual-flush system that reduces the amount of water wastage. The system allows a choice between a 0.8-gallon flush and a standard 1.6-gallon flush triggered by a simple two-button actuator at the top of the tank.
In addition to having control over what kind of flush to use every time, the dual-flush toilet system efficiently saves up to 43 percent on water consumption, while the urinal and a flush-valve product save up to a staggering 86 percent.
On the other hand, American Standard’s IDS faucet makes use of a 1.5PM water-saving bubbler, which also employs a special technology that ensures constant water flow without being influenced by water pressure. Variations using Click Technology and Low Flow in their faucets and showerheads allow up to 77-percent less water consumption, which results in a perfect combination of water saving and comfort.
American Standard collectively applies these eco-friendly breakthroughs in bathroom technology to its line of modern and sophisticated bathroom environments.
The recently launched Concept Cube, a line of compact but beautiful and stylish bathroom fixtures, offers a seamless blend of sleek modern lines with innovative technology.
With strong and simple lines, Concept Cube achieves a contemporary look with its signature soft inner rim, which is ideal for even small bathrooms common in today’s condominium housing.
The SatisAsteo water closet collection, on the other hand, reflects American Standard’s mantra of innovating products to meet its customers’ changing lifestyles.
This product features amenities like LED dim lighting, soft music, automatic seat open and flushing, twin-nozzle bidet, and air-spurification system that eliminates bad odor and airborne fungi and bacteria.
The company’s EuroZen line makes use of innovative design to combine convenience with bathroom hygiene in a sleek and compact water closet. It achieves luxury and comfort with state-of-the-art functions like siphon jet-tornado flushing, powerful massage/cleanse function, deodorizer, warm dryer, nozzle with automatic cleaning, antibacterial nozzle, seat heater, and lift-off and slow-close seat cover.
American Standard also shows its playful side by exploring vibrant palettes with its line of iColor Hand Showers. The line conjures a whimsical fantasy world of plastic and bubble.
The design of these iColor Hand Showers rightfully suits today’s fun-loving and imaginative homeowners through a fascinating play with art, science and technology. The line of products pushes the boundaries of the human imagination—with refreshing results.

Another personality that lends his talent and vision to American Standard is award-winning Italian designer Franco Bertoli.
