A.O. Reed & Co.

When A.O. Reed & Co., Southern California’s leading mechanical contractor, decided to upgrade its restrooms, reliability was a top priority. With facilities that see heavy daily use, the company needed fixtures that could withstand wear and tear while providing long-term performance.

With projects ranging from the U.S.S. Midway Aircraft Carrier Museum to the San Diego Courthouse, all of A.O. Reed’s commercial restroom installations have one thing in common — they each feature Sloan products. So when it came time for A.O. Reed to renovate two of its own buildings on its 55,000-square-foot facility, the company wanted to practice what it preached in specifying restroom products.

Smarter Fixtures = Greater Savings

Water conservation is a cornerstone of A.O. Reed’s sustainability efforts, and Sloan’s products are instrumental in advancing these goals. 

• Sloan’s ECOS® Dual-flush Flushometers offer tailored flushing options with 1.1 gpf for liquid waste and 1.6 gpf for solid waste, reducing water usage by up to 30%. 
• Sloan’s Optima® EAF-275 Solar-powered Faucets deliver water at a conservative 0.5 gpm, with a built-in 30-second timeout to prevent waste. 
• Sloan’s Hybrid Urinals with JetRinse® Solution Technology use just 100 gallons of water annually while maintaining hygienic and clog-free drain lines. 

These solutions not only significantly reduce water consumption across the facility but also support A.O. Reed’s operational cost savings and commitment to environmental stewardship. 

Better Hygiene, Fewer Interruptions

Sloan’s touchless technology is elevating the restroom experience for A.O. Reed’s employees by reducing touchpoints and improving hygiene. Products like the ECOS Flushometers and Optima Faucets provide a cleaner, safer environment, especially crucial in high-traffic facilities. 

The ease of maintenance and reliability of these fixtures also lead to fewer interruptions, ensuring restrooms remain fully operational at all times.

Sustainability at the Core

A.O. Reed’s dedication to sustainability extends beyond restroom upgrades. The company generates 56% of its energy with solar panels, utilizes energy-efficient HVAC systems, LED lighting, and low-flow plumbing fixtures as part of its overall green initiatives. Sloan’s products seamlessly fit into this broader sustainability framework, reinforcing A.O. Reed’s position as a leader in environmental responsibility.
