An 11,000-square-foot venue located in the heart of downtown Chico, Calif., The Westport is an elegant new event space that hosts everything from weddings and parties to nonprofit events and much more.
With decades of experience in their family business, the women behind The Westport – including Sara Barroso and Sage Bowman – bring the same attention to detail that one appreciates from a small, locally owned business.
That attention to detail extends to every aspect of the space, including its newly renovated restrooms, which help bring a “wow factor” to visitors, according to Barroso.
“We want the type of restroom that someone would take a picture in and post it on Instagram,” she said. “The restrooms play a key role in the visitor experience for us.”
With that goal in mind, the team at The Westport set out to specify top-tier fixtures that help make the restrooms stand out. That’s when they came across Flushmate 503UH Series 0.75 gpf pressure-assist systems. “We had to find a toilet that worked with our 1-inch domestic water line,” Bowman said. “The Flushmate 0.75 gpf systems checked all the boxes for us. They’re very efficient, and the price was reasonable compared to other units.”
That efficiency is no accident. As the first-ever pressure-assist 0.75 gpf system, the Flushmate 503UH enhances performance across the board. The new ultra-high efficiency system – which is also compatible with Flushmate’s I-Flush™ technology – uses 53% less water than 1.6 gpf models without compromising performance. In addition, the Flushmate 503UH Series system is the first pressure-assist 0.75 gpf system to reach a 60-foot drainline carry while providing 70 gallons per minute of flush velocity – the same powerful flush customers have come to expect from Flushmate systems.
While The Westport is still a relatively new space, Barroso and Bowman are already seeing the positive impact the Flushmate systems are creating in the restrooms.
“We’re the only ones here during events, so we need restroom products that are easy to maintain,” Barroso said. “We have eight Flushmate units here, and we haven’t had any clogs or issues. Everything has been seamless. The entire experience with Flushmate has been really easy. We would use them again in the future.”
The Flushmate 503UH Series 0.75 gpf systems at our venue check all the boxes. They are easy to maintain and bring a ‘wow’ factor to our restrooms.
