There are several factors that differentiate American Standard’s products from those of our competitors. Here are a few to look for when preparing for your next bathroom or kitchen project:
Performance
Toilets from American Standard feature the best engineered flushing systems available to prevent clogs and overflows. In other words, our toilets are engineered not to clog. But don’t take our word for it, independent testing lab Veritec and John Koeller Consulting have established standardized testing criteria referred to as Maximum Performance (MaP) to ensure all toilets are measured consistently on their ability to flush solid waste. The test involves dropping cylinders of miso (soy) paste into the toilet which are then flushed. This process is repeated seven more times to determine the toilet’s consistent performance level in removing waste from the bowl.
The minimum acceptable MaP rating for high performance toilets is 350 grams (0.77 pounds) and the highest MaP rating a toilet can score for bulk removal is 1,000 grams (2.2 pounds). The American Standard Champion® 4 toilet achieves the highest rating at 1,000 grams. In addition, American Standard’s Cadet® 3 line of toilets, including many of the water efficient 1.28 gallon per flush models, also achieve the highest MaP rating of 1,000 grams.
We’re committed to providing high performance solutions that save water, energy and money. American Standard High Efficiency Toilets use less water than ordinary toilets without compromising on what they’re designed to do — remove waste.
Water Efficient Products
At American Standard, we know that water conservation does not have to mean sacrifice. American Standard technology reduces overall water usage in homes and buildings. Our products are used to help earn credits for LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certification, to help water utilities develop community retrofit programs, and to help homeowners and building occupants every where enjoy a great shower, a clean flush and performance on tap, every time.
Our high efficiency toilets (HET) use less water than ordinary toilets without compromising on what they’re designed to do – remove waste. Our Cadet 3 FlowWise series and H2Option™ Dual Flush products carry the EPA WaterSense seal, meaning they are certified to perform well while conserving water. American Standard products give you a great shower, a clean flush and a clear conscience about saving water.
EverClean
The EverClean® surface is a silver-based, double-coated surface that inhibits the growth of stain and odor-causing bacteria, mold and mildew on the surface. The smooth, mirror-like surface stays cleaner longer, even after years of use.
And permanent does mean forever — the EverClean surface will never wear off or wear out.
EverClean comes standard with the Champion 4 series, Cadet 3 series and FloWise toilets.
Industry-Leading Warranties
American Standard products comes with a 1 year, 5-year, 10-year or lifetime warranty depending on the product. Our Champion 4 toilet, for example, comes with the most comprehensive warranty available. Everything in it — the toilet and the tank parts — is covered for 20 years. That’s 19 years more than many other brands. Our Cadet 3 toilets are backed by a five-year warranty on china and tank turn.
