Sloan Highlights Century-Long Partnership with New Web Presence
Sloan, the Official Water Efficiency Partner of the Chicago Cubs, is showcasing its legacy partnership with the team through a new webpage highlighting their storied history.
As the Cubs get set to begin the condensed 2020 season on July 24 following a four-month hiatus due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Sloan’s new web presence highlights its water conservation efforts across Cubs facilities and the surrounding Wrigleyville community, as well as throughout Sloan Park in Mesa, Ariz.
“At Sloan, we’re proud of our partnership with the Cubs that dates back over 100 years, predating even the iconic ivy of Wrigley Field,” said Graham Allen, co-president and CEO, Sloan. “Our partnership with the Chicago Cubs organization gives us the opportunity to help build winning teams through sustainable solutions.”
The new webpage details Sloan’s water-saving and touch-free products throughout Wrigley Field. Sloan’s sensor-operated products provide both players and fans alike with hygienic solutions that can be found everywhere from the concourse and luxurious American Airlines 1914 Club to the clubhouse. Sloan’s touch-free sensor faucets, soap dispensers, hand dryers, and flushometers as well as sinks, water closets, and urinals were installed as part of the 1060 Project—the Cubs’ multi-year restoration and expansion of Wrigley Field.
Sloan’s commitment to water sustainability also extends throughout the Wrigleyville community surrounding the ballpark. From the boutique Hotel Zachary to the American Airlines Conference Center and popular Smoke Daddy Restaurant across from the field, Sloan products are helping merge sustainability with a hygiene-friendly restroom experience. Sloan flushometers at Hotel Zachary utilize a three-second flush delay to eliminate false flushes and save water. Additionally, the hotel features Sloan Optima® Faucets in a customized brushed amber gold finish to match the existing restroom aesthetic accents for a cohesive design.
The new webpage also displays the full lineup of integrated restroom products throughout Sloan Park, the team’s Spring Training home. Throughout the facility, Sloan products are helping the Cubs reduce their overall environmental impact with state-of-the-art water saving technology.
“Teaming up with Sloan is an important move for the Chicago Cubs,” said Tom Ricketts, chairman, Chicago Cubs. “Sloan brings more than a century of experience and success in creating cutting edge water solutions for a wide variety of venues all around the world.”

Sloan added pressure-assisted toilets to its already comprehensive line of water-efficient fixtures.
Paired with Flushmate® pressure-assist technology – these toilets are designed to drastically reduce backups or clogs thanks to the Flushmate vessel that pushes waste out of the bowl and into the drainline faster than a gravity flush
These toilets offer flush volumes at 1.0 gpf, 1.28 gpf and 1.6 gpf in standard and ADA-compliant models, making them an ideal solution for light commercial applications of all types including strip malls, schools, hotels, gas stations, restaurants and more.
“Sloan has been synonymous with pressurized flushing for more than 110 years,” said Mark Lawinger, Sloan product line manager, fixtures. “With our combined expertise in flushometer and pressure-assisted flushing, as well as vitreous china expertise, Sloan can now better serve the light commercial market than ever before – especially when ultra-low flush volumes are required.”
Sloan’s pressure-assisted toilets look and flush like any other tank toilet, but deliver flushometer-like performance. By pushing waste out of the bowl at a higher flow rate, Sloan’s pressure-assisted toilets provide up to 50 percent longer drainline carry than gravity toilets, resulting in fewer stoppages. This is becoming increasingly important for installations requiring low flush volumes.
Unlike gravity toilets with flush volumes that are susceptible to variation, Sloan’s pressure-assisted toilets cater to sustainable water savings with non-adjustable flush volumes. Other benefits of Sloan pressure-assisted toilets include:
Smooth, trouble-free cable flush activation, without flappers, chains or clunky multi-linkage mechanisms found on other toilets
A cleaner bowl, thanks to a larger water spot and rim jets with high velocity and pressure that creates a better scrub
Reliable three-point tank mounting system that prevents the tank from rocking
Fewer “double flushes” as the higher pressure clears the drainline on the first flush
No condensation due to the insulated tank
Sloan’s new pressure-assisted toilets are great looking and install or retrofit a gravity tank toilet easily, lending themselves as ideal fixtures for both renovation and new construction projects. Additionally, each pressure-assisted bowl is available with exclusive SloanTec® hydrophobic glaze, designed to inhibit the growth of germs and bacteria to make the fixture easier to clean.
