At this year’s Greenbuild Conference in Toronto, Caroma brought a sample of their unique dual toilet sink called the Profile Smart 305 Round Front Plus.
Caroma, an Australian company founded in 1941, is designer, manufacturer, importer and distributor of water efficient bathroom products for commercial and residential applications. Caroma’s toilets can save up to 72% of water usage and have more WaterSense labels than any other manufacturer’s toilets. As of October 25, 2011, it is estimated that Caroma toilets have saved close to 4.9 billion gallons of water in the U.S. alone.
Profile Smart 305 Round Front Plus
The Profile Smart 305 Round Front Plus is a high efficiency dual flush toilet, with 1.28/0.8 gallons per flush.
When using the integrated sink/hand-washing basin, the water used for hand-washing is saved in the toilet’s tank the for next flush, saving even more water. Even further, the product features award-winning Smartflush water saving technology, which is exclusive to Caroma and Fowler toilet suites.
The dual toilet sink is also an excellent space saver due to its stacked design.
The dual toilet sink’s unique water and space saving features have earned multiple awards, including the Popular Mechanics 2008 Product Breakthrough Award and the 2007 GreenPlumbers Water Efficient Product of the Year and Overall Product of the Year Awards.
Caroma Toilet Sink Combo and WaterSense
Caroma’s Profile Smart 305 Round Front Plus is WaterSense labeled, meaning that it is at least 20% more water efficient and performs as well or better as other toilets in its category.
WaterSense is a water efficiency program is partnered with the Environmental Protection Agency. The purpose of the program is to make it easy for consumers to find and select water efficient products, including bathroom sink faucets and accessories, showerheads, toilets and urinals.
To see a full explanation of Watersense’s criteria, visit the EPA’s website.
Since Caroma’s dual toilet sink conserves water, it can be used toward LEED-New Construction (NC) Water Efficiency (WE) credits. The LEED-NC guide even suggests using WaterSense-certified fixtures to reduce potable water demand. Specifically, the dual toilet sink may be used toward WE Prerequisite 1: Water Use Reduction, WE Credit 2: Innovative Wastewater Technologies (2 points) and WE Credit 3: Water Use Reduction (2-4 points).

In Hotel Use
Fri, 03/30/2012 - 20:01 — AnonymousWe are staying at a hotel in Miami Beach that uses these toilets in the guest rooms. It took a couple of minutes and a few double takes to get over the creeped out factor of washing your hands at the toilet but this really does function well. We are so impresssed we are going to purchase one for our micro-sized powder room at home!
My first thought when seeing
Wed, 01/11/2012 - 21:49 — AnonymousMy first thought when seeing this is: how weird! But after considering all the factors, losing my own personal hangup about what is "normal" makes it easier to appreciate this product. In fact it's no different then other sustainable products(for example: vegan shoes or clean vehicles), in that it's not only functional but does so with a higher purpose in mind. From an aesthetic design perspective, one may have to be a bit more creative, but there are ways to make this work stylistically. I like the idea.
That's a brilliant idea! I am
Wed, 12/14/2011 - 11:27 — dennyThat's a brilliant idea! I am surprised no one thought about it sooner, combining the sink and the toilet basin would save so much water! They should think of a way to build slightly bigger bathroom vanities though, the one from that picture seems to be really small and for those of us who have children a larger one would be more practical.
There are several things that
Fri, 11/11/2011 - 11:56 — AnonymousThere are several things that make me think this is a great product. Though I have never used a dual toilet it seems that not only would it be great for the environment but also as a space saver in a small bathroom. Plumbing would also be less, running water to only one unit (not a sink as well)thus saving on plumbing costs. Have these toilets to your knowledge been used in business yet? I know that McCarthy is known for using green products in their buildings but have never heard of this toilet being used for commercial or residential use, yet.
Where to buy
Mon, 11/28/2011 - 18:31 — rpfjrI would like to know where these can be purchased...? Caroma's website seems to be sending back errors and have incorrect information. People have reported not being sent to the correct locations.
