Sloan: Enabling High Water Efficiency through Innovative Flushometer Technology

Krishna Mukti
Director

Bathroom accessories have evolved owing to the increased consumer demands for quality, longevity, and adaptability. Plumbing supplies, particularly those mounted behind walls, were formerly neglected in favor of more noticeable fixtures like sinks and faucets. However, as luxury homes and highrise condominiums are on the rise, customers now expect dependable, long-lasting solutions. As repairs of behindthe- wall installations, such as pipes or flush valves, can be expensive and disruptive, today’s buyers understand the importance of the concealed plumbing systems.

This change is being led by Sloan Valve Company, a world pioneer in plumbing systems and restroom products since 1906, with its smart, sustainable water and restroom solutions. Sloan’s objective is to promote global innovation in water-efficient solutions that assist the green construction movement. Sloan’s main goal is to provide water saving and wellness culture by upholding the highest standards of sustainability and hygiene with solutions made to improve residential, commercial, industrial, and institutional facilities.

Sloan Valve Company was founded by William Elvis Sloan, and its first flush valve, the Flushometer, revolutionized the toilet flushing technology during a period when conventional flushes required approximately 55 liters of water per usage. By comparison, the Flushometer reduced this to 18 liters, resulting in significant water savings. It also introduced many other categories such as sensor faucets, fixtures, dryers, accessories, IOT and Water Management Systems over the years.

Setting New Global Standards with Flushometer

Globally, 2.5 billion people lack access to adequate sanitation services, making high traffic restrooms an even greater need. According to statistics reported by the United Nations, the world’s population is growing by roughly 80 million people each year. As a result, global water consumption has doubled in the last 20 years creating an overwhelming demand for access to fresh water and plumbing. Construction is growing at a rapid pace in order to increase the quality of living around the world.

At any given time, close to half of all people in developing countries suffer from a health problem caused by water and sanitation deficits. According to the Global Construction 2020 Report prepared by Global Construction Perspectives, $97.7 trillion will be spent on construction globally in the next ten years.

WHO’s Health Aspects of Plumbing Report states, ‘Good design of plumbing systems is necessary to ensure that the installations are efficient and safe. The designs of good plumbing services must be based on an understanding of the technical requirements and relevant regulatory restrictions’. Flushometer technology was first developed by Sloan and has since improved and modified it to meet the global market demands, including those in India. The TruFlush flushometer is designed to accurately and reliably control the flush volume, look great and provide a water efficient solution that meets the demands of restrooms globally.

The TruFlush Flushometer from Sloan, which was developed especially for the Indian market, comes in manual and sensor-based varieties. This next-generation flush valve combines cutting-edge technology with regional adaptation to provide a smooth fit for commercial restrooms in India, all while catering to the unique needs of the local plumbing sector.

“Our flushometer allows the customer to change the color of the plate, change the water volume, and even switch from dual to single flush without touching the wall. You won’t ever need to breach the wall for upgrades because it’s made to survive as long as the building itself”, says Krishna Mukti, Director, Sloan India.

TruFlush Flushometers are designed to endure the harsh plumbing conditions found in India. Compared to the ABS plastic frequently utilized by other manufacturers, Sloan’s products offer higher longevity due to its corrosion-resistant flush plates made of ZAMAC alloy and a hidden, corrosionresistant body that can withstand conditions that are damp.

  • Sloan is committed to sustainability and develops highperforming, adaptable restroom solutions that are accessible and appropriate for a wide variety of customers

In addition to this, the company places a high priority on sustainability and user safety with features like zero lead metal sensor faucets that meet strict drinking water regulations. These faucets are made of non-toxic materials to guarantee safe and hygienic experiences. Sloan Tec Glaze, a nanotechnology coating that inhibits microbiological development and lessens stains while keeping a spotless appearance in high-traffic toilets, is another feature of Sloan’s sanitaryware that promotes cleanliness.

Sustainability & Design Excellence

Sloan Valve company has been partnering and educating all the relevant global water management and sustainability bodies to constantly upgrade the standards in the area of operation. Sloan is committed to sustainability and develops high-performing, adaptable restroom solutions that are accessible, reasonably priced, and appropriate for a wide variety of customers. The company’s innovations include the India TruFlush, its multiple upgraded versions, the integrated sinks systems, water management systems, anti-microbial glazing, among many more.

The flushometers from Sloan are renowned for their outstanding performance with treated wastewater and their adherence to EPD regulations, which encourage sustainability. These items are accessible to all users since they also adhere to ADA compliance criteria.

The Way Ahead

Sloan envisions the India center becoming the Regional Manufacturing Hub catering to multiple continents across the world. India already acts as a regional export center for China, Southeast Asia, and the Middle East.

The establishment of India’s first flushometer assembly line in 2020 and the opening of the Gurugram experience center in 2024 reaffirms Sloan’s commitment to India. The innovation, dedication and commitment of Sloan towards upgrading the standards of the industry have been constantly acknowledged by various Industry organizations such as IPA, ASSOCHAM, IGBC and BIS.

“We are positioned to take the lead in sustainable restroom solutions, promoting efficiency and environmental awareness for coming generations. Going forward, we want to solidify our leadership position as a dependable source for restroom technologies by enhancing industry standards, educating experts, and acting as a trustworthy mentor in restroom technologies”, asserts Krishna. The company wants to establish itself as a one-stop shop for all bathroom and restroom requirements, providing high-performance, waterefficient solutions that meet the dynamic requirements of construction industry.
