Kohler Proprietary Technologies

AquaPiston Flush Technology

Kohler's AquaPiston canister flush valve allows water to flow into the bowl from all sides (360 degrees), delivering a more powerful and effective flush compared to traditional flapper valves. The canister design has 90% less exposed seal material, reducing leak risk. See our glossary for more flush technology terms.

Revolution 360 Swirl Flushing

Found on select Kohler toilets, Revolution 360 creates a powerful swirl that rinses the entire inner surface of the bowl, delivering a complete clean with every flush.

ReadyLock Installation

Kohler's ReadyLock system simplifies shower door installation by eliminating the need for drilling into tile or stone. The tension-mount system creates a watertight seal without damaging your walls.

DTV+ Digital Showering

Kohler's premium digital shower system lets you precisely control water temperature, flow, music, steam, and lighting from a touchscreen interface or your smartphone.

ProMotion Technology

Found on Kohler kitchen faucets, ProMotion uses a lightweight braided hose and swivel joint for smoother, easier retraction of the spray head.
