AUSTIN, TEXAS—A new patented valve stops running toilets immediately. The valve measures the exact amount of water needed after each flush. Once the tank is full, the valve shuts off any additonal water. A leak is quickly detected and stopped, says Robert Easter, founder and CEO, H20Guard Inc.
Slow leaks often go unnoticed, costing hundreds of dollars in water bills. Catastrophic breaks in the toilet tank cause thousands of dollars in flood damage each year. The Guard puts an end to water waste and damage. It flags a problem with the toilet the first time a leak occurs.
“Leaky toilets deplete our water resources, put strains on water treatment plants and boost our need for electricity to pump extra water,” Easter says. “Leaks are costing consumers big money.”
The Guard’s Fill-O-Meter is a Universal Plumbing Code certified valve that conserves water by using a predetermined amount of water. Outdated valves measure the level of water in the tank and will keep pumping anytime the level drops.
Innovative Water Conservation
“The Fill-O-Meter valve is the most innovative plumbing product I’ve seen in 30 years,” says John Gasparini Jr., vice president sales and marketing for Mark’s Plumbing Parts, a national company based in Ft. Worth, Texas.
American Water Works Assn. studies indicate toilets are responsible for 26.8 percent of all water used in a typical home.
“A New York City Conservation Department of Environmental Protection study found the toilet is responsible for over 80 percent of indoor leaks,” Easter says. “A silent leaky toilet can waste up to 5,400 gallons per year. If a flapper in the tank gets hung up, the water loss jumps to 73,000 gallons. A majority of households are not even aware of leaks and it is costing them big money every year. Most leaks come from a flapper failure.”
