Revolution 360 is Kohler's most
complete flush ever developed and is powered by the brand's widely
popular AquaPiston canister technology which allows water to flow
out of the tank at 360 degrees, increasing the power and
effectiveness of the flush. Once out of the tank the water flows
into the bowl from a single, powerful port and swirls throughout
the bowl. Utilizing this swirling motion, Revolution 360 keeps
the bowl cleaner, longer than a conventional flush. Kohler's team of engineers engaged experiment
and Computational Fluid Dynamics methods to study, improve and
perfect even the smallest details to ensure complete rinsing of the
entire bowl surface.
"There is a lot of science behind toilet flushing, more than the
average consumer tends to realize," says Dan Halloran, Kohler senior principal engineer. "From
allocating the water used for rinsing versus the sump jet to the
management and minimization of air within the flushing volumes of
the system, our team explored a multitude of schemes before
reaching the final configuration for the new Revolution 360."
The plumbing brand's first toilet to feature the new flush
platform is also an introduction to the market: Corbelle.
Corbelle carries a sleek design with soft curves and a transitional
aesthetic with its smooth, skirted trapway – a feature many
consumers prefer for ease of clean by eliminating the areas where
dust and dirt often collect.
Adding to the cleanliness qualities of the toilet, Kohler is featuring a CleanCoat surface
technology on the interior of the bowl of the Corbelle toilet.
CleanCoat bonds to the surface to form an ultra-thin protective
layer, causing water to run off in droplets instead of bonding to
the surface. It makes the bowl surface significantly easier to
clean by preventing bacteria, mildew and hard water mineral
deposits from forming. The layer also repels water and dirt and
minimizes debris from sticking to the bowl for an effortless
clean.
The Corbelle toilet boasts the patented ReadyLock
installation system, offering an innovative solution to
installing skirted toilets that does not require drilling, caulking
or special tools for a standard 12-inch rough-in, making skirted
toilet install a breeze.
The Corbelle toilet flushes with 1.28 gallons per flush, meeting
EPA WaterSense and CALGreen guidelines for water conservation, and
is offered as a Comfort Height, or chair height, making it easier
to stand and sit.
