Shower restrictor
L6749AA |
|
|
| A restrictor reduces the amount of water used. The restrictor is inserted between the valve and shower kit. |
|
|
Showers can use anything from 10 to over 30 litres of water per minute depending on the water pressure.
Shower restrictor limits the water flow to 9 litres per minute at 3 bar.
A typical 7 minute shower with water restrictor can save between 40 and 80 litres of water compared to having a bath. |

Ceramic disc taps use a very hard ceramic material in the valve. This gives precise control and reduces the chance of having a dripping tap. Ranges with ceramic technology include:
Ideal Standard
Class, Silver, Domi, Idyll, Academy, Ceraplan, Tratto, Ceramix Alto, Cone, Waterways CD and Moments.
Armitage Shanks
Accolade CD, Sandringham SL, and Halo. |

Over time a dripping tap can waste many litres of water.
A dripping tap wastes up to 4 litres of water per day. |

Resistance is felt in lever when the tap is delivering half the potential water flow. When lever 'clicks' tap delivers 100% flow.
