What is the best way to clean the system of a KOHLER whirlpool? Whirlpool bath systems should be cleaned at least twice a month. Adjust the jets so there is no air induction. Fill the tub with hot water to a level above the highest jets. (Caution: don’t start the whirlpool without making sure there is water above the highest jets. Running a whirlpool without water will damage the pump seals causing the pump to fail or leak.) Add to the water two teaspoons of low-foaming dishwasher detergent such as Calgonite or Cascade, and four ounces of household bleach, such as Clorox. Run the unit for 10-15 minutes, and drain the tub. Next, fill the tub with cold water to 2-3" above the highest jets, run the unit another 5-10 minutes, then drain. Wipe dry with a soft cloth. Why is KOHLER Cast Iron considered the premier material for plumbing fixtures? KOHLER Cast Iron excels in strength and beauty. Cast Iron features a thick enamel coating in a variety of colors. Fired at temperatures much higher than is possible with enameled steel products, the cast iron surface is "fire polished" to obtain its vivid color and deep gloss. The thickness of cast iron makes its surface resistant to acids, and provides outstanding protection against chipping, scratches and dents. Because of its density, cast iron also has outstanding heat retention properties, so water stays warm longer. What are anti-microbial toilet seats? KOHLER anti-microbial solid plastic toilet seats include an anti-microbial agent which is formed into the plastic. The germ-fighting properties of the agent continue to rise to the surface over time and inhibit bacteria and germ growth on the seat. KOHLER anti-microbial solid plastic toilet seats offer these superior features:
BodySpa is a personal hydro-massage system. The idea is very simple. Take a series of whirlpool jets, arrange them vertically in a shower-like enclosure, then instead of pushing water through water (as in a whirlpool), propel it through the air. Using less water than a 5' whirlpool, the BodySpa system heats, propels and recirculates as little as 37 gallons of water about two times per minute. The result: up to 80 gpm of supercharged hydro-power; more than the combined delivery of 25 standard showerheads. No other system delivers so much from so little. The use of a personal shower is required before using a BodySpa. What is the RimSeal process and which products are manufactured with it? RimSeal is a process that significantly reduces "rim rust" on KOHLER self-rimming cast iron products. The process involves the application of a non-corrosive metal coating to the rims of self-rimming cast iron sinks and lavatories prior to the application of undercoat and enamel. All cast iron lavatories and sinks manufactured after August 7, 1996 have received the RimSeal application. Because all Kohler self-rim cast iron sinks and lavatories are now being coated with RimSeal, it is no longer necessary for Kohler Co. to include a tube of sealant with these products. As of October 1, 1996, Kohler no longer sends sealant with self-rimming cast iron products -- installers can use the product of choice. What are the stainless steel material and quality specifications for KOHLER kitchen sinks? Sinks are made from 18-or 20-gauge type 304 stainless steel with 18% chromium and 8% nickel content. These stainless steel specifications for kitchen sinks provide exceptional resistance to stains and corrosion. How large are the trapways and water surfaces for KOHLER toilets? KOHLER toilets have the following trapways and water surfaces:
What are the quietest flushing KOHLER toilets? The quietest flushing toilets are one-piece gravity toilets such as KOHLER’S San Raphael, San Martine, Rialto, and Rosario. These toilets are very quiet because flush noise is caused both by the velocity of water flowing into the bowl, and by water refilling the tank. Quiet toilets rely on gravity for water to flow into the bowl. The quietest toilets are the one-piece design toilets because these toilets flush without a large "head" pressure (water falling a longer distance). Typically the loudest toilets are those that use pressurized flush valves or tanks. Does Kohler make a bidet with vertical spray? Kohler offers two bidets with vertical spray. The contemporary San Tropez and the traditionally-styled Portrait are two of Kohler’s most popular bidet models. What is the best way to clean and care for the finish of Kohler faucets? Following these care and cleaning suggestions will extend the beauty of Kohler products for years.
*Teflon is a registered trademark of E.I. du Pont de Nemours and Company How durable is the finish on Kohler faucets? The finish on Kohler faucets is very durable. Polished chrome finishes are triple-plated to withstand years of use. All-brass Kohler faucets are carefully polished, buffed, and plated in a controlled environment. Our epoxy coating for polished brass is the best in the industry. To ensure that our finishes retain their luster, Kohler specifies a nickel plating undercoat that provides a protective base. This undercoating creates an improved bonding surface for the final finish. Do Kohler faucets offer protection against water pressure changes? Kohler’s Rite-Temp Pressure Balancing valve means added safety. It ends surges of hot or cold water during showers. If there is ever a complete loss of cold water supply pressure, a safety mechanism will close off the hot water supply intake and shut down the valve to prevent scalding. Rite-Temp also has a high-temp limit stop that allows maximum water temperature to be pre-set. What are the advantages of Kohler’s ceramic valving? Ceramic valving is the most reliable type of valve in the industry. Its performance has been proven through testing of over one million cycles. It’s maintenance-free, and provides a comfortable and smooth 1/4-turn maximum handle rotation. Ceramic valves can withstand high temperatures, constant wear, hard water, and any unexpected debris in the line. Are Kohler faucets easy to install? Yes. Pre-assembled handles and finger-tight hoses along with standard connections mean no special tools are required. Installation is quick and easy. Are Kohler faucets affordable? Anyone can afford Kohler quality. For example, our Coralais single control centerset lavatory faucet has a list price of $108.90. Kohler offers a faucet to meet every consumer’s need. What kind of styling options does Kohler offer in its faucet line? The Bold Look of Kohler offers a remarkable choice of plumbing and specialty products. Products range from the nostalgic to contemporary, from heavy metal to tough synthetic, from high volume to one-of-a-kind, from polished to demure, from luxurious to innovatively useful. What type of warranty covers Kohler faucets? Kohler Co. offers a Lifetime Limited Warranty that guarantees its faucets to be leak- and drip-free during normal residential use for as long as the original purchaser owns his/her home. All other aspects of the faucet are also warranted to be free of defects in material and workmanship. Exceptions to the Lifetime Limited Warranty include Trend® faucets, MasterShower™ Tower, gold finish, accessories, fixture related items, and faucets used in commercial settings. These product continue to be covered by Kohler's one-year limited warranty. |
