Sloan Valve Co. The Aqus Greywater System collects water from bathroom sinks and reuses it for toilet flushing. The drainage water is routed through a sanitizing and filtration system, and then collects in a storage reservoir under the sink; upon flushing, the water is pumped to the flush tank. The toilet tank will use supplemental freshwater if enough greywater is not sent down the lav drain to accommodate the amount of flushing required. 800.982.5839. www.sloanvalve.com.
Toto. The Aquia III high-efficiency toilet features a powerful gravity flush with a washdown system that directs 100% of the water through the rim to keep the bowl clean, the firm says.

The Aquia III’s modern design and squared corners provide a new twist on the other toilets in the Aquia line. 888.295.8134. www.totousa.com.
