Vast quantities of water are needlessly run off to waste due to Taps, Mixers and Showers
discharging flow rates far in excess of the rates required for them to perform their duties.
The contrasting flow rates shown on this leaflet clearly illustrate the savings that can
be made whilst still providing a good performance.
British made Aquaflow Regulators provide constant flow 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 fitting 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.
