Saving Our Water and Forests One Toilet at a Time

Brondell unveils the Ecoflow and Swash Ecoseat

SAN FRANCISCO, April 11 /PRNewswire/ -- Have you ever wondered what
happens when you flush the toilet? Everyday 100,000,000 rolls of toilet paper
are used worldwide and 6.8 million gallons of water are flushed down the
toilet. Our forests are being destroyed at record numbers and our water
sources are running dry. The U.S. government predicts that at least 36 states
will have water shortages in the next five years. Crazy? Brondell thinks so.
With the introduction of the Ecoflow and the Swash Ecoseat, Brondell makes
noteworthy conservation in the bathroom easy and cost effective.

The Ecoflow's innovative dual flush design upgrades your existing toilet
with advanced water saving technology. Ecoflow installs in minutes on your
existing toilet and provides full flush and half flush options to reduce water
consumption by fifty percent, without the cost, inconvenience and
environmental impact of installing a new toilet fixture. Ecoflow can save a
family of four up to one hundred dollars per year and, most importantly, save
precious water.
The Swash Ecoseat is the first of its kind toilet seat with refreshing
feminine and posterior washes, simple push button controls, and a slam-free,
antimicrobial seat and lid. The Swash Ecoseat replaces your existing toilet
seat, fits nearly all residential toilets, and does not require an electrical
outlet like other products. Better than dry toilet paper, the Ecoseat's
retractable wash wands provide a more comfortable bathroom experience while
saving a family of four over one hundred and twenty dollars a year in toilet
paper. In a groundbreaking environmental LCI (lifecycle inventory) study of
the use of the Swash Ecoseat compared to conventional toilet practices,
Franklin Associates determined that the Swash Ecoseat reduces energy
consumption by fifty percent, solid waste generation by sixty percent and
greenhouse emissions by fifty percent. "Each year, 54 million trees are cut
and tons of energy wasted just to produce toilet paper for the U.S. market.
The Swash Ecoseat is a very easy way to reduce toilet paper consumption by
seventy five percent, saving trees, energy, and money." said Scott Pinizzotto,
CEO of Brondell Inc.
The Ecoflow and Swash Ecoseat products will be available summer 2008 with
retail pricing starting at $129 and $249, respectively. "With our new
eco-active products, people can immediately and easily reduce their impact on
the environment and save money without sacrificing comfort or convenience in
the bathroom. It really is a win, win, win," says Pinizzotto. "Brondell's
rapid growth shows that American consumers are demanding more in bathroom
products than pretty towels and tile design -- they want solutions that fit
their lifestyles."
