Toilet Overflow
One guest. One overflow...
...One slip and fall injury... One lawsuit.
One heck of a lot of paperwork, even if it’s not the hotels fault. If it is, one big payout. Ask HR to do the numbers.
One guest. One overflow...
...1,200 gallons per hour through most toilets... One major clean-up.
How many rooms on how many floors can a single overflow effect?
Just how big IS the deductable?
In less than a year, by preventing each overflow, the H2Orb can pay for itself in 6 months to 11 months (even if the overflows are small).
At least 1 out of 5 toilets leak. Silently up to 500 gallons per day. According to an EPA study. According to an American Water Works Association study. According to numerous state , city and water districts studies.
A stuck open flapper can waste up to 5000 gallons per day. The EPA states is as fact. The American Water Works Association states is as fact. Numerous studies by states , cities and water districts state it as fact too.
Now add water conservation to the H2Orb advantage list. Guests usually do not report toilet leaks because a silent flapper leak (50 – 500 gallons per day) quietly and gently flows water into the bowl. And since guests are usually even less attentive to hotel toilets than they may be to the toilets in their own homes, the water will continue to leak for days, months and years, slowly increasing the monthly water bill.
Further, guest are less likely to notice that the flapper never came down after the flush. This relates mean 150 to 300 gallons of water wasted EACH HOUR!
Even Housekeeping may or may not notice an open flapper after they have cleaned and flushed the toilet, and, they are unlikely to be able to hear or see a silent leak.
So, which would is better, the guest call that the “toilet doesn’t work [Front Desk: “We'll have it taken care of in just a minute ma'am.”]
...Or the hundreds of dollars at the end of each month on the water bill? Ask the GM.
The question isn’t if the H2Orb pays off, it’s simply a matter of, 'How soon?'.
