Caroma is a subsidiary of GWA International, the Australian provider of bathroom fixtures and fittings.
The Toilet Replacement Program is currently being run in Melbourne, Australia by South East Water, City West Water and Yarra Valley Water in conjunction with Schultz Plumbing. The program is helping households reduce their water usage through the replacement of inefficient single flush toilets with a water-saving 4.5/3 liter toilet suite from Caroma Dorf, the building fixtures and fittings subsidiary of GWA.
The program offers customers the opportunity to upgrade their old single flush toilet suite with a new 4-star Water Efficiency Labelling and Standards (WELS) – rated dual flush Caroma or Stylus toilet suite at a significantly reduced price.
This price represents a saving of more than 35% for the cost of a new toilet suite and includes installation by a licensed plumber from Schultz Plumbing and the removal of the old single flush model. A water efficient showerhead and flow control valve can also be fitted at no extra cost to help further reduce household water consumption.
