APPENDIX A

APPENDIX

Vast quantities of water are needlessly run off to waste due to Taps, Mixers and Showers 
discharging fl ow rates far in excess of the rates required for them to perform their 
duties.

The contrasting fl ow rates shown on this leafl et clearly illustrate the savings that can 
be made whilst still providing a good performance. 

British made Aquafl ow Regulators provide constant fl ow rates by automatically 
compensating for supply pressure changes between 1 bar & 10 bars.

To facilitate installation into the wide range of plumbing equipment which is 

encountered in the U.K, Four Fixing Options are available:-

Options For Showers

1.  MXF “DW” Range - For fi tting behind Fixed Shower Heads or onto Flexible Hoses for 

Handshowers (preferably onto the inlet end when lightweight hoses are used).

2.  Compression Fitting Range. “In Line” regulators as in Option 4 for Taps & Mixers.
