Sloan Flushometer Q&A’s

 A continuous flush could indicate a faulty diaphragm assembly, a worn relief valve, or a damaged handle gasket. 

A weak flush might be caused by low water pressure, a clogged inlet screen, or a worn diaphragm.

A long flush could be caused by a faulty relief valve not properly seating, or a problem with the bypass hole in the diaphragm.  

Signs of a worn diaphragm include visible tears, cracks, or excessive wear on the rubber material.

Regularly clean the valve with mild soap and water, avoiding harsh chemicals.

WHY IS THE LOO BETTER THAN ‘AUTOMATED’ ALTERNATIVES?

Automated restrooms prioritize privacy but often compromise safety, durability, and comfort. The Portland Loo® is uniquely designed to balance user privacy with public safety, ensuring a clean, safe, and accommodating restroom experience. Its minimal design also lowers maintenance costs compared to more complex automated alternatives.

HOW DOES THE LOO HELP REDUCE INAPPROPRIATE USE, SUCH AS PROSTITUTION OR DRUGS USE?

Anti-graffiti walls

Protected with an anti-graffiti powder-coat, the restroom can take a lot of abuse, and is easy to maintain with a cleaning hose and janitorial supplies stored in the mechanical closet.

HOW LONG CAN I EXPECT THE LOO TO LAST?

Constructed from highly durable stainless steel and designed to resist vandalism, the Loo is built to last for decades with proper maintenance.
