Water and energy saving for the bathroom
Integrated technologies for water and energy efficiency.
Water and energy consumption can be influenced by the way a faucet controls flow and temperature. Selected LAUFEN faucets integrate technologies such as cold water start, flow control and temperature limiting functions, designed to manage water and hot water use in everyday operation.
Flow and temperature control
Selected LAUFEN faucets combine flow limiting aerators with integrated volume and temperature control. A noticeable resistance in the cartridge indicates when the user moves beyond the predefined flow or temperature setting, allowing greater control over water and hot water use.
Cold water start
Cold water start technology helps avoid unnecessary hot water use. When the lever is in the central position, only cold water flows. Hot water is activated when the lever is moved towards the hot water position, helping to limit energy use when heated water is not required.
Flowcontrol
FlowControl introduces a noticeable resistance when regulating the water flow. Full flow is activated only when the lever is consciously moved beyond this resistance point, giving users greater control over the amount of water used.
LAUFEN series with water and energy efficiency functions
Water and energy management functions are available across the CITYPLUS, SWISSTAP, PURE, LUA and PRO X faucet collections. Depending on the model, these include cold water start, flow and temperature limiters and flow rates designed to control water use.
CITYPLUS basin faucets with cold water start are available with flow rates from 4.2 l/min at 3 bar, while SWISSTAP combines cold water start with flow rates from 4.5 l/min at 3 bar. PURE faucets also integrate cold water start alongside flow and temperature limiters. Across the collections, the specific functions and performance vary by model, allowing water flow and hot water use to be managed according to the application.
Performance information
Performance information for selected LAUFEN faucets is available through the Unified Water Label, providing comparable data on water and, where applicable, energy use.
