“We save on repairs, and our staff can concentrate on other tasks.” We’re averaging only two to three water closet maintenance calls a shift.” Brown added that initially, the water closets were more costly to purchase, but that the payback, in terms of labor and water savings, would be faster. “Since the Luxor opened in October, our plumbing calls have been minimal. “My previous experience was at an operation that had three-gallon gravity units, and we would get as many as 10 calls a shift,” he said. Jim Brown, assistant chief engineer at the Luxor, notes that the Flushmate system has been extremely reliable, and, in fact, requires less maintenance. In addition, the larger water seal surface results in less staining, easing daily housekeeping chores. Unlike a gravity system, which is more prone to flooding and stoppages, the Flushmate system features a larger trapway with fewer bends for fewer clogs and a deeper trap seal for greater safety.

After just a few weeks, we replaced the water closets there with pressure units and eliminated the problem,” said Place.“That’s why we specified Flushmate for the Luxor.”

“At one hotel, we installed 300 gravity units, and we were experiencing more than 100 stoppages a day. John Place, of P & P Plumbing in Las Vegas, worked with the Luxor because of his previous experience with installations at other hotels that line the iconic Vegas Strip.
