Which Propelair Contour Products Are Right for Your Commercial Washroom?

The right commercial washroom solution depends on more than water consumption alone. Footfall, maintenance requirements, connectivity, infrastructure and sustainability objectives should all influence product selection. Propelair’s product family combines ultra-low-water toilets, smart connected toilets, intelligent low-flush urinals and waterless urinals, allowing organisations to create a solution suited to each facility.

Why is a product family approach more effective?

Commercial washrooms do not all operate in the same way. An airport may need fixtures capable of managing intense, continuous use, while an office building may prioritise water savings, simple maintenance and measurable environmental performance.

Even washrooms within the same property can have different requirements. One area may experience particularly high footfall, while another may have limited plumbing infrastructure or recurring maintenance problems.

Instead of specifying the same technology throughout every building, organisations can select a combination of commercial sanitation products based on:

• Daily footfall and usage patterns
• Existing water consumption
• Maintenance requirements
• Water and sewerage costs
• Plumbing and drainage infrastructure
• Connectivity and monitoring needs
• Sustainability and ESG objectives

This product family approach allows facility managers, architects and sustainability professionals to create a commercial washroom solution that balances efficiency, performance and operational value.

Which Propelair toilet should you choose?

OneThreeFive:  The Propelair OneThreeFive is best suited to commercial and public facilities that prioritise maximum toilet water savings without compromising flush performance.  Its ultra-low-water, air-assisted technology combines a small volume of water with air to effectively clear the pan. This makes it particularly relevant for high-footfall environments where every litre saved per flush can become a significant annual reduction.

Key features include:

• 1.35-litre air-assisted flush
• Up to approximately 85% less water than many conventional toilets
• Designed for commercial and public facilities
• Strong retrofit and water-saving potential

For organisations searching for a high-efficiency commercial toilet, ultra-low-flush toilet or practical way to reduce commercial building water consumption, OneThreeFive offers measurable water and cost-saving potential.

Contour Pro:  Contour Pro is best suited to facilities that require water efficiency combined with intelligent asset monitoring and proactive maintenance capabilities.

In a conventional washroom, a blockage or fault may only be discovered when a user reports it or during a physical inspection. Connected toilet technology can give facility teams greater visibility of asset condition and performance, helping them move from reactive maintenance towards a more informed approach.

Key features include:

• 1.5-litre air-assisted flush
• IoT connectivity and performance monitoring
• Blockage detection and maintenance alerts
• Support for multi-site washroom management

Contour Pro is particularly relevant for airports, hospitals, shopping centres, universities and large commercial property portfolios where washroom uptime, hygiene and maintenance efficiency are operational priorities.

Which Propelair urinal should you choose?

Contour Pulse:  Contour Pulse is best suited to commercial facilities that require controlled, low-water flushing with connected performance visibility.

Rather than automatically flushing after every user, its concealed sensor and intelligent PulseLogic algorithm determine when flushing is required. The system helps reduce unnecessary water consumption while maintaining a managed flushing approach.

Key features include:

• 500 ml flush
• Intelligent flushing based on actual conditions
• Built-in IoT connectivity
• Remote monitoring and operational data

Contour Pulse provides a practical option for organisations looking for a smart urinal, connected urinal system or low-water commercial urinal that can contribute data to a broader washroom management strategy.

Contour Zero:  Contour Zero is best suited to facilities where eliminating urinal flushing water is the priority.

The system requires no water inlet, electronics, cartridges or chemicals. Its OdourLock one-way valve seals the drainage system between uses, helping to control odours without relying on flushing water or consumable cartridges.

Key features include:

• No flushing water
• No electricity
• No cartridges or chemicals
• OdourLock one-way valve
• Suitability for water-stressed and infrastructure-constrained locations

Contour Zero can support commercial bathroom water conservation in offices, public facilities, remote sites and regions where reducing demand on potable water infrastructure is particularly important.

Can different Propelair products work together?

Yes. Combining different products allows an organisation to match its commercial washroom technology to specific operational requirements.

A facility could, for example, install Contour Pro toilets where blockage detection and remote monitoring are priorities, while using Contour Zero urinals in areas where eliminating flushing water offers the greatest benefit.

The objective is not simply to identify the single most efficient product. It is to establish which combination of smart, low-water and waterless washroom products will deliver the best outcome for the building.

Which products suit different building types?

Different environments may benefit from different combinations:

• Airports and transport hubs: Connected toilets and smart urinals can support high footfall, remote monitoring and faster maintenance responses.
• Shopping centres: Ultra-low-water toilets and intelligent urinals can reduce consumption across thousands of daily visits.
• Hospitals and healthcare facilities: Reliable toilet performance, blockage detection and proactive maintenance can support hygiene and washroom availability.
• Universities and schools: Water-efficient products can reduce operating costs across large campuses and multiple buildings.
• Office buildings: A combination of low-water toilets, smart urinals and waterless urinals can support sustainability and ESG targets.
• Water-stressed or off-grid locations: Contour Zero can eliminate urinal flushing water, while OneThreeFive can significantly reduce toilet water consumption.

What should you consider before selecting a solution?

Before specifying commercial sanitation products, assess:

• Daily footfall
• Current water consumption
• Water and sewerage tariffs
• Recurring maintenance problems
• Connectivity requirements
• Existing drainage and plumbing
• ESG reporting requirements
• Expected payback

A clear baseline will make it easier to select the correct combination of products and measure the resulting water, cost and operational benefits.

Final Thought:  The right commercial washroom solution is not simply the product that uses the least water. It is the combination of technologies that best supports the building’s users, infrastructure, maintenance requirements and sustainability goals. By selecting products as part of a connected family, organisations can create washrooms that save resources, operate more intelligently and deliver measurable long-term value.
