A.O. Reed and Co.
So when it came time for A.O. Reed to renovate two of its own buildings on its 55,000-square-foot facility, the company wanted to practice what it preached in specifying restroom products.

With dual-flush high efficiency performance, the ECOS flushometer automatically initiates a 1.1 gpf or 1.6 gpf flush to deliver up to a 30 percent reduction in water volume.

Renovations Lead to Water Reduction
Housed in two different buildings on its San Diego campus, A.O. Reed’s sheet metal and pipe fabrication facilities each specified Sloan hybrid urinals, ECOS® flushometers and Optima® EAF-275 faucets to not only renovate its existing restrooms, but an additional newly constructed restroom space. Optima EAF-275 solar-powered faucets are delivering an efficient 0.5 gpm with a 30-second timeout setting to eliminate unnecessary water consumption in A.O. Reed’s facility.

Meanwhile, Sloan’s Hybrid Urinals with JetRinse® Solution Technology keep the urinals and drain lines clean, hygienic, odor- and clog-free with their waterfree operation. Equipped with their water-saving and hands-free benefits, Sloan’s fixtures not only upgraded the existing three restrooms for the workers in the sheet metal and pipe fabrication shops, but even re-worked a women’s-only and superintendents and department heads restroom.

Restroom Reliability
In addition to the performance and hygienic benefits that come along with Sloan’s products, it was A.O. Reed’s longstanding track record of familiarity with Sloan’s products that led to their specification. While A.O. Reed’s plumbing foremen performed the on-site installations, the superior support that Sloan is long known for — from response time, tools, parts and advice — helped to streamline A.O. Reed’s installation process and keep the project on track.
Products in this case study
Everything from water-efficient and hands-free products to attentive customer service made Sloan the ideal partner for our on-site retrofit project.
