In recent years, Italian ceramic companies have introduced new technologies capable of reducing the amount of water consumed or wasted in sanitaryware. 

The efficiency of a WC is improved by modifying the size and shape of the trap and by the two buttons that control the flush volume.

One button releases all the water contained in the cistern, the other releases only part of the water. 

Alongside the dual-flush system, another improvement is the gradual adoption of rimless WCs.

Rimless WCs lack a rim, the curved internal section that in traditional toilets serves to channel the flush water over the surface of the bowl. 

With a suitable flush mechanism, this solution reduces water consumption by more than 50%.

Many of the companies based in Civita Castellana produce rimless WCs that release quantities of water well below the 6 and 3 litres prescribed by European standards. 

The absence of a rim brings a number of advantages: 

  • Reduced water consumption
  • The problem of stagnant water is eliminated
  • Easier cleaning 
  • Reduced noise

The result is a combination of sustainability, efficiency and practicality.
