The connected washroom: Transforming passive fixtures into actively managed assets
Successfully integrating technology into existing infrastructure, to reduce water consumption and cost, through sustainable washroom innovations.
Propelair is an international cleantech company delivering data-enabled, water-saving washroom solutions that help commercial and public organisations reduce water consumption, lower operating costs, enhance sustainability, improve hygiene, and enable smarter washroom management.
The Propelair Connected Washroom isn't just about installing efficient products - it's about equipping organisations with the tools to manage washroom resources intelligently, reduce operational strain, and meet sustainability goals with confidence.
By offering an integrated dashboard as a primary offering, supported by sanitaryware installations, facility managers gain powerful visibility across single or multi-site environments. The connected washroom transforms what was once a passive space into an intelligent, actively managed asset. Propelair’s technology makes the choice clear, it’s not just about saving water; it’s about creating a smarter, more efficient way to manage public facilities.
Propelair Product benefits include:
Products:
Contour Pro (previously OneThreeFive toilet): Our Contour Pro toilet system uses a patented air-based operating principle that offers a quick flush, reduced water use and lower water cost, enabling customers to benefit from an efficient and sustainable alternative to traditional toilets. Our innovation enables a flush that only uses 1.5l of water, a fraction compared to the traditional option that utilizes an average of six litres per flush. By replacing between 6 and 9 litres of water with 70 litres of air to propel just 1.5 litres of water into existing drains, we contribute to better waste management to help create a more sustainable future and save millions of litres of water, and its cost, per annum. Further benefits include a significantly lower carbon footprint due to the reduced processing of water. The closed lid seals the unit to channel the air and reduces airborne germs by up to 95%. The Propelair system conveniently connects to existing plumbing systems, making it easy to retrofit. It is also ideal for off-grid buildings where waste removal is costly.
Contour Pulse (urinal): Designed to suit mid-range budgets, the Propelair Pulse urinal makes sustainable water-saving technology accessible to a broader audience. The Propelair Contour Pulse urinal is engineered for performance and sustainability, using just 500ml of water per flush. Its smart design combines IoT connectivity, an advanced algorithm, and a concealed sensor.
At the heart of this innovation is PulseLogic™ — Propelair’s proprietary, intelligently developed flushing system. The sensor periodically detects liquid, and if liquid is present, no flush is needed. This means the urinal flushes only when necessary, not after every use, based on real-time usage patterns, delivering water savings of up to 99%. When no liquid is detected for a specified period, PulseLogic™ triggers a flush to prevent uric acid build-up and unpleasant odours. The ergonomic rimless design and optimized ceramic geometry also supports anti-splash by guiding liquid flow to a specified target zone.
Contour Flow (faucet): The Propelair Flow faucet, part of the Contour water-saving range, is a smart, sensor-operated tap that reduces water consumption while enhancing hygiene and control. Designed for public and commercial environments with consumption-managed systems, it enables facility managers to remotely monitor usage and adjust flow rates with precision.
Paired with an IoT-connected water meter, Contour Flow delivers real-time leak detection, usage tracking, and programmable daily limits. Its smart valve can automatically shut off in response to overconsumption or leaks, providing efficient, controlled water management across multi-site or remote facilities.
Available in wall- or counter-mount designs, Contour Flow supports single or dual flow setups and is built for durability, longevity, and low maintenance to reduce service costs. Its adjustable proximity sensor (10–35 cm) enables touch-free operation, ensuring optimal hygiene in high-traffic areas
