Why Choose Hennessy & Hinchcliffe Proficiency Toilets?

Built on decades of innovation, Proficiency toilets are engineered to deliver maximum water savings and reliable everyday performance — without compromise.

Patented Air Transfer Technology

Hennessy & Hinchcliffe's patented air transfer system is the only technology of its kind available in a 3-litre toilet in Canada. By combining air and water to flush, Proficiency delivers a powerful, quiet siphon action that outperforms competitors — maintaining the highest savings and performance standards available in an ultra high-efficiency toilet.

Flapper-Free Design for Simpler Maintenance

The entire Proficiency lineup is flapper-free. Instead of chains, clunky tank parts, and flappers that wear out and leak over time, Proficiency uses a simple O-ring seal system that can be replaced by anyone in under 60 seconds — at a fraction of the cost of a traditional flapper replacement. Less maintenance. Fewer leaks. Better long-term value.

True 3 Litre Flushing — Every Time

Unlike competing low-flow toilets that can release 5–8 litres per flush when the handle is held down, every Proficiency toilet is equipped with a patented flush cannister that regulates each flush to approximately 3 litres — every single time. No guesswork, no excess water release, just consistent and reliable ultra high-efficiency performance.

A Toilet For Every Application

With a wide range of models available — from compact round front designs for smaller bathrooms to ADA compliant comfort height toilets, skirted one-piece designs, dual flush options, and commercial grade 4.5L PRO-FLUSH models — the Proficiency lineup has the right toilet for every home, build, renovation, or retrofit project.

How Does a Proficiency Toilet Work?

Traditional toilets rely on a large volume of water to push waste through the trapway. Proficiency toilets work differently — harnessing the combined power of air and water to deliver a powerful, quiet flush using just 3 litres. Here is how it works.

Compression

After each flush the Proficiency toilet tank refills. As water enters the tank it compresses air through a small transfer tube directly into the trapway. This process pressurizes the system and fully primes it for the next efficient 3-litre flush — before you even press the button.

Pull, Not Push

Unlike pressure-assisted toilets that force waste out, the pressurized trapway in your Proficiency toilet acts as a vacuum. When a flush is engaged the patented air transfer system draws air from the trapway — powerfully pulling water and waste from the bowl into the waste line. This quiet siphon action delivers maximum flush power using only 3 litres of water.

Whisper Quiet

Despite being one of the most powerful ultra high-efficiency toilet models available in Canada, Proficiency operates with a remarkably quiet flush and refill cycle. Because flushing power comes from controlled air movement and suction rather than pressure bursts, the system eliminates the loud hissing, spraying, and splashing common in pressure-assisted models — minimizing noise transfer between rooms and suites.

Buy With Confidence — Industry-Leading Warranty Coverage

Every Hennessy & Hinchcliffe Proficiency toilet is backed by industry-leading warranty coverage designed to protect your investment for years to come. From the patented air transfer system at the heart of every flush to the vitreous china bowl and all internal components — H&H stands behind every toilet in the Proficiency lineup.

Despite being faced with a more difficult user demographic, (students) these products met and exceeded our performance expectations.
