HILLSDALE, MICH.—Alsons Corp., a leading manufacturer of distinctively-styled shower products, has partnered with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and its WaterSense program. Alsons announced that 40 of its shower head and hand shower SKUs have received the new WaterSense certification.
The WaterSense label provides trade professionals and consumers with the assurance that select shower heads and hand showers are at least 20 percent more water-efficient than the current federal standard of 2.5 gallons per minute (gpm), flowing at a pressure of 80 pounds per square inch (psi). To receive the label, qualified shower heads and hand showers must be independently tested and certified to meet the EPA’s performance specifications for flow rate over a range of pressures, force, and spray coverage.
“As a WaterSense partner, we are dedicated to offering water-saving shower products that meet the performance requirements as specified by the EPA, while still providing users with an enhanced shower experience,” said John Davies, vice president of sales, Alsons Corp. “The unique spray dynamics featured in the patented Fluidics Technology gives users the sensation of a high-flow shower experience while using 20 to 40 percent less water.”
The Fluidics Spray Technology is featured in 14 of Alsons’ Water-Amplifying shower heads that meet the WaterSense criteria. This patented technology controls the water’s shape and velocity, producing larger spray droplets that retain their heat longer. These shower heads feature either a single 1.5 gpm or 2.0 gpm spray, or a model with both flow rates that can be selected with an easy-turn lever.
Other Alsons products meeting WaterSense criteria have a flow rate of 2.0 gpm, and feature multiple spray settings. In addition to the water savings, the WaterSense products also conserve energy, requiring less gas or electricity to heat the reduced amount of water.
