NEW Envirolet FlushSmart 800 Series

New Envirolet FlushSmart 800 Series. This new conventional-looking design truly brings Envirolet composting toilet systems to the mainstream.

Just in time for Earth Day, Sancor introduces the all-new Envirolet FlushSmart 800 Series composting toilet system. FlushSmart 800 models feature a great-looking, large ceramic bowl.

The new FlushSmart 800 System was introduced at the recent Spring Cottage Life Show in Toronto and received a very positive reception from consumers.

The system is designed to appeal to those looking for the same “conventional toilet” style they are used to. The attractive ceramic toilet in the bathroom is all that the user sees with the composting system tucked safely away in an outside box or shed or in the basement. Out of sight, out of mind.

“This new conventional-looking design truly brings Envirolet composting toilet systems to the mainstream,” says actor and respected environmentalist, Ed Begley, Jr.

What separates the Envirolet FlushSmart 800 from a conventional toilet is that it uses only 0.2L (6oz) of water per flush and converts waste to compost using an advanced Automatic Six-Way Aeration process and natural microbe-action.

The new FlushSmart 800 is part of the unique Envirolet FlushSmart Series that offers many advantages over other composting toilets including its ease of installation, styling and performance.

In 2009, the Envirolet FlushSmart was listed as one of the “25 Products That Just Might Change The World” in Bloomberg BusinessWeek.

For just about any homeowner a day will come when the only option you have is to find a licensed plumber, this can be a costly call to make. But there are a couple of ways, however, to get the most out of your plumbing repairs.

Preventing Common Plumbing Problems

One way to reduce the costs of plumbing repairs is to avoid plumbing problems before they happen. Most calls for a plumber are those referring to drain problems and frozen pipes. Lots of older houses have a drain or two that will cause trouble sooner or later while the rest are fine. Clogged kitchen sinks because of the grease buildup inside is another common plumbing issue. You can prevent your sinks from clogging by watching carefully what you pour down the sink drain and every now and then run some boiling hot soapy water down the kitchen drain. Hair in bathroom drains is another common problem. If your bathroom sink doesn’t have any sort of screened drain strainer, then you should invest in a drain strainer / stopper and clean the drain strainer / stopper regularly.

Go Buy Plumbing Materials Yourself

When you know what the problem is or if you know what need to be replaced, then do some price-comparison and purchase the items you need yourself. It is worth your while to make sure that products you shop for are of a good quality and a plumber will know how to work with those brands, or models of fixture & hardware that you’ve purchased.
