Exclusive VorMax Flush Technology, Combined with CleanCurve Rim and EverClean Surface, Provides Powerful, Water-Efficient Performance
Eliminate those dreaded skid marks, splatter, and clingy dirt for good. The Optum VorMax toilet by American Standard features a new flushing technology that eliminates the traditional rim holes around the bowl that deliver water during a flush. Instead, the VorMax flush delivers one powerful jet of water that scrubs the entire bowl clean. Plus, this high efficiency toilet’s CleanCurve Rim and EverClean surface make the toilet easy to clean and maintain.
A Cleaner Flush
The innovative VorMax flushing system has been independently verified to clean the bowl two times better than conventional toilets*. The toilet’s flushing action allows water to powerfully scour every square inch of the bowl, even the hard-to-reach spots under the rim.
The CleanCurve Rim omits the rim cavity and holes inside the bowl where dirt and buildup can get trapped and hide. In addition, the Optum VorMax features EverClean, the unique permanent finish, available exclusively from American Standard, which inhibits the growth of stain and odor-causing bacteria, mold and mildew on the surface, helping the toilet stay cleaner, longer.
Powerful, Water-Efficient Performance
The Optum VorMax achieves the highest bulk removal score on the Maximum Performance (MaP) test, an independent report of toilet performance. These high-efficiency toilets can successfully flush 1,000 grams (2.2 pounds) of waste while using a water-saving 1.28 gallons per flush (gpf). The Optum VorMax has earned WaterSense-certification from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for providing high performance while using 20 percent less water than traditional 1.6 gpf toilets.
Unique, Convenient Features
For easy installation, the Optum VorMax comes with an EZ-Install kit designed to ensure that floor bolts remain upright, the tank to bowl connection process is streamlined, and the time-consuming task of bolt cutting is eliminated. The toilet has a 12-inch rough-in configuration.
The Optum VorMax features an elongated bowl with a comfortable 16 1/2-inch Right Height bowl that is ADA-compliant. A decorative, slow-close seat, finished with the EverClean surface, is also included. The telescoping seat cover also conceals the seat ring when closed for a seamless look.
The Optum VorMax toilet is covered by a lifetime warranty on chinaware, a 10-year warranty on parts, and a one-year warranty on the slow-close seat. It is available exclusively at The Home Depot.

TOTO, the largest plumbing manufacturer in the world with $5.01 billion dollars in annual sales, announced today that it has installed its high-performance, water-saving plumbing products in the Corinthians Arena in São Paulo, Brazil, the home of the Corinthians Paulista soccer team. With so many visitors from all over the world using its products in the Arena, TOTO is looking forward to increased brand recognition as it continues to help contribute to Brazil’s growth and development.
“As with all major sports venue projects, the competition for the Corinthians Stadium was strong, and TOTO was evaluated against the strongest brands in the region,” said David Krakoff, President of TOTO Brazil. “Therefore, as a relatively new brand in Brazil, we were particularly proud that TOTO was chosen for this stadium, which is certainly among the finest in the world.”
The Design-Build Team for the Corinthians Arena (a/k/a Arena de São Paulo) selected TOTO’s high-performance plumbing products for their superior water-saving technology and energy-saving capability. These high- design fixtures and cover plates enhance the restrooms’ beauty with their clean, simple lines.
In the Arena’s high-traffic restrooms, engineers installed TOTO’s durable 1.9 liters per flush urinals (LPF) and 4.8 LPF wall-mounted toilets. They also installed TOTO’s water-saving EcoPower sensor flush valves and faucets, which use flowing water to power their electronics, creating a sustainable loop. There is no need for hard wiring. With as few as 10 uses a day, their backup battery will last up to 19 years, which reduces toxic battery waste. In addition, in the team locker rooms, TOTO installed it water-saving showers systems.
“The level of thought and creativity that went into the design and development of this stadium was impressive,” said Krakoff. “It was an honor to work with Mr. Anibal Coutinho, the stadium’s architect, and to participate in his highly evolved design process. It was also amazing and inspiring to see the level of dedication that the Corinthians organization had to building a facility that would offer a first class experience to every person in every seat, regardless of the seat price or location.”
