Supplyht.com: American Standard champions clean water practices

Germophobia is no laughing matter, but over the last few years comedian Howie Mandel (most recently known as a judge on the TV show “America’s Got Talent”) has used plenty of humor to cope with his very real fears.

His lovable personality has won the hearts of people who have watched his struggle — even on live TV —  and generated public awareness about this condition that also affects so many others.

So this fall when American Standard prepared to launch its new ActiClean toilet with its innovative “clean” features, Mandel seemed like a natural fit as its spokesman. He jumped on board and has spent the past few months filming videos, TV ads and making appearances to promote this new product.

James Walsh, vice president-chinaware and commercial products for LIXIL Water Technology Americas, the business unit under which American Standard operates, has been with the company for 31 years and led the development team for the ActiClean HET Right Height toilet.
