STOCKTON, CA (PRWEB) June 21, 2005 -- ECO-MODE Invention Company announces that Jorge Artola, from Stockton, CA, was awarded the prestigious International Gold Medal" for the ECO-MODE in two categories. The ECO-MODE is a toilet that is environmentally friendly. This patented invention was exhibited at INPEX in June 2005, in Pittsburgh.

The "Eco-Mode" is an odorless, environmentally friendly toilet that could help conserve water. The invention operates without a tank and it will replace any standard toilet, according to the inventor. The Eco-Mode would also feature a clog-free design, so it is maintenance free. The invention also can be manufactured at a lower cost because of these design features.

Artola won the international Gold Medal" in the Bath/Plumbing" category and also won the International Gold Medal" in the Environmental Category" at the 2005 INPEX.

I received very good feedback from attendees," said Bernard Artola of ECO-MODE. Artola was also interviewed by The Tonight Show" and Voice of America" media who were impressed when he demonstrated flushing a "official" baseball using only ½ gallon of water.

The Eco-Mode would be a replacement to a standard toilet with no retrofit needed. The odorless toilet includes a built-in quiet" exhaust fan to extract the odor thru the existing vent pipe. The invention uses a gravity discharge container that catches the waste, uses a pressure-assisted jet rinse, and sends it through the piping. This could help eliminate water waste, as water would only be used to clean the bowl and supply water for the next flush. The water use of the Eco-Mode would be about ½ gallon (2 liters) per flush with variable user selected settings.
