Swiss sanitary solutions provider Geberit has announced that its Acanto has been rated as the best toilet ceramic appliance with rotational flushing in tests conducted by the German specialist magazine SBZ and the Esslingen University of Applied Sciences.

The Geberit model stood out, in particular, for its flushing performance with low water volumes, the company emphasises.

The study conducted by SBZ, a publication focused on the heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) and plumbing industries, in collaboration with Esslingen University of Applied Sciences, examined the effectiveness of toilet ceramics featuring rotational flushing technology. Researchers tested 10 models, where flushing water moves through the ceramic in a circular motion, with a focus on flushing performance and hygiene.

The evaluation included standardised tests in accordance with DIN standards as well as practical application scenarios. The ceramic models tested were sourced from 10 different suppliers operating in Germany.

According to Geberit, the independent experts from the Esslingen University of Applied Sciences came to the conclusion that rotational flushing systems are superior to conventional flushing systems. All the models tested received ratings ranging from good to very good. Geberit Acanto, with its TurboFlush technology, impressed with top scores in all test categories, from the toilet paper and plastic ball flush tests to the ketchup smear tests. In the overall ranking, Acanto clearly beat its competitors, the manufacturer remarks.

Clean flushing with low water consumption

“Acanto’s clear top performance in the flush tests in terms of reduced water volumes and lower sound level measurements is particularly pleasing,” says Tobias Ambauen, Head of the Ceramics and Bathroom Furniture Product Line. “The outstanding results underscore the extensive hydraulic expertise of Geberit. The asymmetric interior shape of the Acanto guides the water in a precise and powerful vortex through the ceramic appliance. Thanks to this ideal control, the TurboFlush technology reduces the amount of water required for a thorough flush and minimises the flushing noise.”

TurboFlush range expansion in 2025

In addition to the well-known products Geberit Acanto and ONE, as well as the AquaClean shower toilet series, Geberit has expanded its range of toilet ceramics with TurboFlush technology this year. Several models in the iCon series and Renova/Selnova models are also now available with TurboFlush, making TurboFlush technology accessible for various installation situations and in all price segments.
