Launching in 2009

Hennessy and Hinchcliffe Inc. are set to launch the world’s first 3.0 litre-per-flush high-efficiency toilet in 2009. Currently dubbed the H & H N7716, this Canadian designed toilet features revolutionary flushing technology and superior performance. Developed by the same design team behind the Niagara Flapperless leak-free toilet, the H & H N7716 will be the world’s most efficient single-flush toilet and it’s being distributed from the manufacturer’s headquarters right here in the GTA. By installing the N7716, apartment owners and managers will be able to achieve previously unheard of levels of water savings as they could possibly cut their domestic water consumption in half.

The N7716’s patented flushing system works under varying water pressure and uses a specially designed trapway and air pressure transfer system to efficiently flush away waste. Unlike pressure-assist toilets however, the N7716 functions without the noisy canister or expensive replacement parts. Its siphonic flush acts quickly and quietly, yet outperforms toilets with much larger flush volumes.

On a recent episode of CBC Spark 1, correspondent Nora Young paid a visit to Bill Gauley of Veritec Consulting to see a first-hand demonstration of the N7716 in action. The N7716 easily flushed 500 grams of test material (a much greater amount than in the typical person’s washroom visit) while a nearby 13 litre per flush toilet clogged on the same volume.

The results are promising, as a recent test run in a Toronto apartment building confirmed. At 51 Donlands Ave., a 53-unit apartment in The Danforth, the management replaced all existing toilets with the N7716 over a five-day period. The reduction in daily water consumption was immediate and drastic (see Figure 1). Total water consumption in the building almost halved, from an average 20,916 litres per day to only 11,414 litres. Per unit consumption dropped from an average 337 litres/suite/day to only 184 litres/suite/day. This new line of 3.0 lpf toilets will save property owners tens of thousands of litres of water from reduced flush volumes daily.

Hennessy and Hinchcliffe Inc. are introducing this new technology in two vitreous china models - the N7716 round front and the N7717 comfort height (ADA-compliant elongated bowl) that includes a soft-close designer seat (N7717). Water Matrix Inc., a City of Toronto approved water efficiency services company based in Woodbridge, will be handling all distribution and marketing.

Eager property owners and managers will be able to take a preview of the N7716/17 at PM EXPO, December 3, 4, and 5 at the Metro Convention Centre, South building. A working model will be on display at Water Matrix’ booth #1707.
