Using vacuum toilets is covered in the European Standard EN 12109-1999 “Vacuum Drainage Systems inside Buildings” and have been increasingly used in many countries over the past ten years.

Supermarkets and Shopping Malls• Space saving in car parks• Low cost of refurbishment
Pharmaceutical Laboratories and Hospitals• Separation of contaminated
wastewater
Prisons• Security enhancement via inability of
prohibited goods being flushed away.
Hotels• Flexibility during refurbishments or
apartment conversions
Sporting Venues• The use of vacuum toilets reducing
water discharge by up to 80% reducing the impact on treatment plants and pipework infrastructure.
Motorway Restrooms• Vacuum toilets can operate off
rainwater tanks, reducing water requirements
Island Resorts• Allows for the use of grey/black
water systems reducing both water and energy requirements.
Green Buildings• Water reduction from the use of
vacuum toilets reduces the capital and energy cost of the treatment plant allowing for easy water re-use in the building
Refurbishment of Old Buildings• Flexibility of pipework locations
ensures the protection of old buildings
• Speed of installation
