The Zurn Go Blue® Advantage
Advanced Chemical Resistance Lasts 8-10 times longer than competitors’ “black filters” Industry leading filterability Triple filter performance vs. dual filter performance Interchangeability Works with competitors products Water Conservation Better performing parts prevent run-ons and leaks and inconsistent flushes Zurn focuses on delivering innovative product solutions that offer savings in time, cost, and labor. In fact, we consistently offer the lowest total life-cycle cost solution over many conventional methods. Zurn is here to help you with the best tools and solutions for the job. Advanced Chemical Resistance Zurn GO BLUE® parts are manufactured using thermoplastic elastomers, which last 8-10 times longer than competitive products. Zurn quarter-turn ceramic disc faucet cartridges are engineered for high volume use applications and provide superior leak prevention. Industry Leading Filterability Clog resistant, triple filtered, and linear filtered by-pass diaphragms provide repeatable flush performance and help prevent run-ons and leaks compared to traditional dual filtered diaphragms. Water Conservation and Lead-Free Products Rubber Permex dual filtered diaphragms and parts deteriorate at a much faster rate than Zurn’s TPE GO BLUE parts, resulting in runons/ leaks or inconsistent flush volumes which necessitates costly double flushing. Zurn commercial faucet cartridges and spouts contain less than 0.25% lead content, complying with lead-free legislation, NSF 61/9, and providing a safer and healthier product for the end user. Sensor Upgrades The majority of flush valves that have been installed over the past 20 years are manually operated. Sensor replacement units, such as the E-Z Flush®, provide an opportunity to retrofit these valves and upgrade their performance to the latest technology. Zurn manufactures superior replacement parts and sensor upgrade kits that fit on Sloan® and Zurn valve bodies. Interchangeability All Zurn GO BLUE® parts are interchangeable with Sloan Regal®/ Royal® Flush Valves. When you replace inferior parts with Zurn GO BLUE parts, you upgrade to the superior performance and reliability you have come to know and trust from Zurn. Zurn commercial spouts, aerators, and quarter-turn ceramic disc cartridges are interchangeable to fit within Chicago Faucet products. Save water. Save Money.
