With showering accounting for approximately 17% of residential indoor water use in the United States, the EPA has developed new standards for water-efficiency in the shower. Delta Faucet is one of the first in the industry to qualify for the new WaterSense® program developed by the EPA for showerheads and handshowers.
Currently, over 50% of Delta's bath suites feature showerheads and handshowers which meet WaterSense® requirements - with seven of those suites featuring an H2Okintetic® showerhead that flows at 1.5gpm while providing the feel of an enhanced flow of 2.5gpm. All without sacrificing the comfort and convenience of the user experience or the durability and life span of the product.
As Delta strives to achieve and increase water-efficiency across our lines, we take our role as a WaterSense partner very seriously. Delta Faucet Company is committed to working with the EPA to encourage efficient use of water resources and actively protect the future of our nation’s water supply. Delta® showerheads and handshowers which meet WaterSense requirements use between 20-40% less water* than the industry standard while our lavatories which meet WaterSense requirements use 32% less†, and all perform as well or better than their less efficient counterparts.
*Based on flow rate for showerheads and handshowers of 1.5gpm or 2.0gpm versus Industry Standard of ASME.A112.18.1/CSA.B125.1 of 2.5 gpm (waiting for confirmation on the ASME and CSA standard)
†Based on flow rate for lavatories of 1.5 gpm versus Industry Standard ASME.A112.18.1/CSA.B125.1 of 2.2 gpm
