Kohler Santa Rosa Series Key Features

Here are a few of the top design features found in Kohler Santa Rosa Toilet Models:

• Single-piece construction

  There are many advantages when it comes to having a toilet that comes as one complete piece. One of the biggest advantages is that the seamless construction of them makes for a better-looking toilet than those that are made out of two-piece construction. One piece toilets are also much easier to clean than their two-piece counterparts.

• Comfortable even for taller users

  The height of this toilet when the seat is installed is a little over 17” high. That means taller users do not have to sit uncomfortably scrunched up when using it.

• Kohler AquaPiston technology

  This is Kohler’s proprietary flushing design. It uses less water but floods the toilet bowl faster for effective cleaning.

• Water saving flush

  Both the toilet models mentioned above meet EPA certification requirements as being water saving toilets. This is because they are both toilets that use less than 1.6 gallons per flush.

• Generous color assortment

  This toilet line keeps with Kohler’s long-standing tradition of offering a large variety of color choices in toilets to their customers. There are seven different colors to choose from in the Kohler Santa Rosa series of toilets.

• Durable material

  This line of toilets is made out of popular vitreous china. This substance is very smooth so it’s easy to clean and is known for being a very durable toilet material also.

• Warranty

  These toilets come with Kohler’s standard One-Year Limited Warranty. It is a warranty that is very similar to other toilet models in its class.
