UNIFIED WATER LABEL

Cersanit is one of the first manufacturers in Poland to widely introduce products with the Unified Water Label certification, and is the only one to widely promote this in the bathroom equipment market. The Water Label, which demonstrates the highest water efficiency, distinguishes toilet bowls with the CERSANIT VORTEX system and AQUA concealed WC frames. This makes Cersanit a leader in water savings in the segment of accessible bathroom solutions for a wide range of consumers.

Saving water is no longer just an element of an eco-friendly lifestyle. It's now a real response to rising utility costs, a changing climate, and the increasing pressure on dwindling global water resources. In many households, water and sewage costs are rising faster than other operating costs, forcing action. To truly reduce water consumption, it's not enough for users to be more conscious of water efficiency. Technological solutions are needed to achieve this.

Cersanit products are truly unique, and the Water Label guarantees this. It allows you to easily recognize the water efficiency class of products and choose responsibly. Cersanit quickly recognized the importance of transparent information about water consumption and implemented the Water Label in its product offering. By combining modern flushing technologies with a clear labeling system, Cersanit is responding to a growing consumer need: to choose solutions that are simultaneously functional, economical, and environmentally responsible.

For years, we've known the energy ratings of household appliances, refrigerators, and washing machines, which has significantly increased purchasing awareness. Now, thanks in part to Cersanit's commitment and responsible approach, we can also look for similar information on plumbing products, which are primarily responsible for water consumption in every home.

The Unified Water Label is a European water efficiency labeling system for bathroom products that has been in operation since 2018. It was developed on the initiative of industry organizations representing bathroom equipment manufacturers, including within the European Bathroom Forum, as a response to the growing need for transparent information on water consumption.

The Water Label uses a clear, colour-coded scale (from red to green) that simply indicates the level of water efficiency of a given product. The higher the rating (green), the lower the water consumption while maintaining full functionality. The system is based on clearly defined technical criteria and standardized assessment methods, which makes the label comparable and reliable across Europe. For consumers, this provides tangible support in making informed purchasing decisions.

Cersanit is one of the few manufacturers in the bathroom equipment market that has not only introduced this label for WC bowls and concealed frames, but also actively communicates its significance, helping to build consumer awareness. CERSANIT VORTEX wall hung bowls and WC compacts, as well as AQUA concealed WC frames, are marked in green, meaning they belong to the group of the most water-efficient and high-performance products in Europe.

The green Water Label assigned to the CERSANIT VORTEX and AQUA flushing systems confirms an average water consumption of 2.5 liters per flush. The standardized method used to calculate the average values shown on Water Label certificates applies to all products within a given analyzed category and is based on a calculation assuming three reduced flushes to one full flush.

In the case of WC bowls with the CERSANIT VORTEX system combined with AQUA concealed WC frames, the 2.5-liter average makes this solution a leading flushing system within the class of water-saving sanitary solutions across Europe. As a result, equipping a toilet with the CERSANIT VORTEX system and an AQUA concealed WC frame delivers tangible savings for both household budgets and the environment—effectively reducing negative impact on the planet while generating real financial benefits.

Toilet bowls equipped with the CERSANIT VORTEX system have been designed to deliver maximum flushing efficiency with minimal water consumption, for both dual-flush options of 2 or 4 liters. A dynamic, vortex-powered water flow thoroughly rinses the entire bowl surface, ensuring a high level of hygiene while using only a small amount of water.

Thanks to this optimization, selected models achieve high ratings within the certification system, and water savings of up to 20,000 liters per year in a four-person household do not require any compromise in hygiene standards. These are not merely manufacturer claims, but results confirmed by the independent Water Label certification.

Actual water consumption in a toilet is determined by the settings of the flush valve in the concealed frame. AQUA concealed frames allow precise adjustment of flush volumes—2 liters for the reduced flush and 4 liters for the full flush.

When AQUA frames are combined with bowls equipped with the CERSANIT VORTEX system, effective flushing is achieved even at these low volumes, resulting in a real reduction in water consumption to 2/4 liters without compromising hygiene or flushing performance.

Such a configuration actively supports conscious and responsible water use, which is clearly reflected on the Water Label. It is worth noting that a Water Label assigned to a concealed frame is unique on a national scale; therefore, the AQUA range plays a pioneering role in providing transparent, certified information on water-saving performance.

Choosing products marked with the Unified Water Label has a tangible impact on both the environment and household budgets. It is an investment that delivers benefits throughout the entire lifespan of a bathroom. Lower water consumption means reduced utility bills, less strain on water and sewage infrastructure, and a real contribution to the protection of natural resources. In the case of Cersanit solutions—such as the CERSANIT VORTEX whirl flushing technology and AQUA concealed WC frames—water savings are not a one-time effect, but a lasting benefit that works every day for years, without requiring any change in users’ daily habits.

The Water Label does not imply any compromises - neither in terms of cleanliness nor modern design. By choosing CERSANIT VORTEX whirl WC bowls and AQUA concealed WC frames, you are not only embracing an “eco” trend; your home becomes more than just a smart home. Exploring the Cersanit portfolio is enough to see that these products also represent the highest standards of aesthetics and timeless design.

Choose innovative solutions from a proven and trusted manufacturer, Cersanit, whose activities extend far beyond the business sphere alone. The contribution to building conscious water management in our homes will be felt not only in household budgets, but also on a nationwide scale.
