This Toilet Does Double Duty
Caroma Introduces High Efficiency Toilet with Integrated Sink

Caroma has recently introduced its newest and extremely innovative high efficiency toilet (HET): the Profile Smart. The Profile Smart HET incorporates a sink into the lid of the toilet tank for increased water savings opportunities in the bathroom.
The Profile Smart with integrated sink features Caroma Smart™ technology, developed and mastered over the last decade, delivering the ultimate combination of design, water savings, and performance. Like all Caroma toilets, the Profile Smart is dual flush, using 1.28 gallons of water per flush (gpf) for a full flush and 0.8 gpf for the half flush. This averages just under 0.9 gpf, which can save the average family of four more than 5000 gallons annually by replacing a 1.6 gallon toilet, more than 11,000 gallons compared to a 2.5 gallon toilet, and nearly 19,000 gallons per year compared to a 3.5 gallon toilet! The amount of water savings increases when you also use the integrated sink to wash your hands.
When the Profile Smart is flushed, fresh cold water is directed through the faucet for hand washing. This water then drains into the tank to be used for the next flush. This unique water and space saving design features chrome buttons built-in to the tapware design. It also features a large trapway, nearly double the industry average, virtually eliminating blockages and overflows. The installation process is quick and easy and does not require any special instructions.
