The technical features integrated into every Planus marine toilet are what set them apart from any other in the marketplace. The pump has an 80 meter vertical and 8-meter head – you are not restricted by plumbing lengths or head heights. They are designed to be as quiet as possible. Planus have patented systems that eliminate cavitation in the bowl and hammer in the water pipes. Planus toilets are brilliant for fitting in small spaces, specifically designed to fit a full-sized porcelain bowl onto yachts. The only real difference between the range of Planus toilets is the porcelain shape – technically they are the same.

 

Technical Features

The Vortex System

The high-speed rotation of the VORTEX pump and the geometric design of its piping create a great vacuum able to remove water and organic waste from the bowl. The high-level performance ensures the greatest possible flexibility in planning the route of the discharge hoses, allowing it to reach significant distances and heights. 

 

Air Vent Anti Cavitation

The noise of the vortex pump in many marine toilets is due to cavitation caused by the presence of air in the pump that is sucked through the toilet drainage hole at the end of each discharge sequence. Planus systems use a patented “automatic vent air discharge” system that enables the pump to run without cavitation. No cavitation = minimal noise. 

 

Water Hammer Arrestor 

Planus has introduced the “water hammer arrestor” as a standard component of its preassembled inlet solenoid, eliminating hammer in the water pipes when the solenoid shuts off. This device is very effective in reducing noise and vibration along the inlet pipeline. 

 

Dripping Water System

Planus makes the ceramic bowl with a “dripping water system”. This system eliminates the need for ugly, noisy plastic nozzles inside the toilet bowl. 

 

Rectified Bowls

Planus rectifies its bowls in order to guarantee the perfect installation. Planus, after porcelain bowls cooking, rectifies both the base and the rear wall by the use of a numerical control machine. This further work guarantees a perfect and uniform (90°) toilet.

 

Soft Close Hinge Option

The new soft close hinge, in ASI 316 stainless steel, offers high slowing down efficiency, elegance and firmness. 

The soft close system is nowadays a common feature offered to the market. However this system has so far only been applied to light plastic seats and cover. Planus differentiates itself in this regard after having developed a series of soft-close hinges with original highest quality SUGASTUNE damers, world’s leader in this field, and applied them to its luxury wooden seat and cover with bright polyester coat.

 

High-Quality Seats

Planus supplies its bowls with a high-quality wooden seat covered with a polyester coating, available in standard or soft close. 

 

Control Panels

We stock and supply a One Button controller and a Two-Button controller. The biggest difference is that the Two Button controller will ensure there is no water left in the bowl after use. 

 

The Three Models Explained and their key differences

Stella supplies three types of Planus toilets – Match, Stilo and New Artic. These are then further broken down into Match Short, Match Cut Short, Stilo Plus, Stilo, and New Artic. 

 

Defining the models:

Cut – A ’Cut’ model of a Planus marine toilet means that the back has been cut at an angle for best installation practice. 

Short – Is as its namesake suggests, the shorter version.

 

Distinguishing features

Match models are the shortest Planus Toilets. The only difference between Match Short and Match Cut Short is the angle at which the back of the toilet is cut. 

Stilo is the middle model, it is taller than the Match series and shorter than the New Artic

Stilo Plus has the largest bowl, longest top area, and biggest base.

New Artic is the tallest and skinniest with the smallest bowl.
