Laufen launches HiJet Water Closet

Swiss bathroom brand Laufen has introduced the water-conserving HiJet Water Closet (WC) toilet.

The HiJet's patent-pending flushing system is geared toward saving water and low-maintenance upkeep, cleaning and clearing the entire basin with each flush while using low water volumes of just 1.2/.79, and 1.59/.79 gallons.

The technology is predicated upon years of research: water flows from the rear of the basin to strategic points around the rim, with an additional jet from the front pushing the flushed waste into the sewage network. Then, the entire basin is flushed and cleaned around the rim using minimal water.

"Laufen continuously strives to represent not only the present but also the future of bathroom innovation," states Javier Korneluk, U.S. managing director for Laufen. "What makes the HiJet so appealing is that it delivers advanced water-saving performance and is on-trend with a stunning contemporary design. In addition to the HiJet WC, Laufen has also developed a patent-pending invisible easy-to-mount wall installation system that will increase the appeal of the WC to both fitters and end users."

The new HiJet WC model is also prepared to meet all future standards for sustainability, Laufen said.
