KALAMAZOO, Mich., Aug. 5, 2009 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- One2Products today announced that its award winning One2Flush water-saving dual-conversion kit for toilets is being introduced to the Texas market at the Handy Hardware Wholesale Fall Market, August 13-15, 2009.
As water conservation has become a major concern in Texas, with regional water districts calling for immediate reductions in usage due to extreme drought conditions, the media is being invited to view the new award-winning One2Flush water-saving technology at the company's exhibit, where both ease of installation and operation will be demonstrated for reporters and editors.
Overview: The innovative One2Flush DIY conversion kit provides an immediate and affordable answer for residential and commercial users alike who are both water-conscious and cost-conscious.
How important are toilets to water conservation efforts? If more than 10-years old, they use 3.5 gallons of water (or more) per flush. In an average household, with three or four people, that represents more than 75 gallons of water per day.
Now, with just a few tools and about 30-minutes time, the new One2flush lets you turn any standard commode into a high-efficiency, low-flow, dual-flush model. As the first of its kind, when introduced at the recent 2009 National Hardware Show, the new One2Flush conversion kit won both the NRHA Retailers Choice Award and was honored as an Innovative Product of the Year.
According to the EPA, toilets account for 30% of indoor water use. Even more if they leak or keep running. The One2Flush immediately reduces toilet flushes by 40% -- for an immediate 12% reduction in overall water usage and substantial water bill savings every month for a rapid payback.
One2flush conversion kits can also be used to upgrade new or existing 1.6 gallon flush water-saving toilets to even higher-efficiency, instead of paying $200 to $750 for a new dual flush unit.
"At around $30, it is an easily justified consideration for almost any home or business," notes company President, Patrick Hanna. "We are inviting all local media to visit us at the show to see how easy it is to convert any old water-waster toilet into a contemporary dual-flush model that reduces water usage, saves money and maybe even impresses one's friends. Just push the handle to the left for a light flush or to the right for a full power flush -- and you save both water and money. One way for 'one'...and the other way for the 'other'."
The Handy Hardware Wholesale Fall Market will showcase more than 750 companies in 617 exhibits -- with over 2,700 buyers from 600-plus retailers in attendance -- at the George R. Brown Convention Center, Exhibit Halls D and E, in Houston, Texas, August 13-15, 2009. This event is not open to the public.
Handy Hardware currently provides over 45,000 products to more than 1,250 hardware retailers in 10 South-Central states and Central America. One2Flush toilet conversion kits are now available throughout Texas at Ace Hardware, True Value, Do-It-Best and Independent Hardware Retailers and online at www.one2flush.com
