New Showerhead Reduces Water Consumption



Greenbuild Booth No. 410

Cleveland Faucet Group, a Moen Incorporated brand, introduced its new Water Saving showerhead designed specifically for the multifamily market. This showerhead flows at a rate of 1.75 gallons per minute (gpm), offering a 30 percent water savings from the industry standard of 2.5 gpm.

CFG’s new Water Saving showerheads feature an optimized spray pattern to help preserve the showering experience that end-users are accustomed to from full-flow showerheads. To create this unique design, CFG decreased the diameter of the spray formers in order to maintain the velocity of the water streams hitting the body. The rubber spray formers also provide the ability to simply wipe away hard mineral deposits on the showerhead.

CFG’s new Water Saving showerhead is available as a stand-alone item or as an option on the tub and shower products of CFG’s Capstone or Cornerstone collections and are available in Chrome, PVD Brushed Nickel and Old World Bronze finishes.

The use of CFG’s new Water Saving showerheads may contribute toward a building’s eligibility for LEED certification in the Water Use Reduction category. The products are certified to the IAPMO (International Association of Plumbing and Mechanical Officials) Green standard for having a flow rate at least 20 percent below the industry showerhead standard.
