Aerators are device that mix air with water to give you a soft and splash-free flow from a faucet and provides a proper direction to the water stream. . Conventional aerators which you find in your faucet are designed to discharge water based on inletwater pressure. With increase in water pressure the discharge increases and vice-versa. Conventional aerators which discharge 10 LPM at higher floors tend to discharge around 13-15 LPM on lower floors or may be more at times depending upon water pressure.
Savear Neoperl® powered Pressure Compensating Aerators PCA® are designed to give you a constant discharge irrespective of inlet water pressure. For example, a PCA® designed for a maximum flow rate of 6 LPM, would discharge 6 LPM only, irrespective of change in line pressure from say 1 Kg/cm2 to 5 Kg/cm2. This technological marvel is achieved by a specially designed ‘O’ ring which expands and contracts with increase or decrease in inline water pressure and discharges only designed flow of water at any given point of time.
Savear Neoperl® PCA® help reduce running water demand drastically, in the range of 50-80%, without affecting your rinsing comfort. For instance, most of the wash basin faucets deliver average 10 LPM. The activities involved at wash basin includes hand washing, face washing, shaving or brushing teeths. To carry out these activities comfortably and effectively a flow rate of less than 4 LPM is enough. Considering wash basins are used on an average of 10 minutes per day, it can result in saving 60 liters of water every single day, i.e. 21,900 liters from each wash basin per year. Similarly, sink faucets discharge on an average 12LPM, a flow of 5 LPM is sufficient, with average usage of 30 min per day, it can result in 210 liters of saving every single day, i.e. 76,650 liters annually from each sink. That is mind-boggling, isn’t it!
Reduced water demand will have other advantages associated with it viz. reduced water bills, reduced energy bills, lesser volumetric load of sewage resulting in lesser treatment cost apart from giving you an opportunity to reduce your carbon footprint.
Yes, that is precisely the biggest merit. These PCA® can be retrofitted in most of the modern faucets, including wash basin faucets, sink faucets, and bathtub spouts at a miniscule cost without a need to invest heavily in switching to a sensor-based or push-based faucet. As a matter of fact, aerators of sensor-based and push-based faucets can also be changed with these PCA® to save tremendous amount of water. Installation of these pressure-compensating aerators is the simplest step you can take towards water saving.
Aerators required least to no maintenance. However, it is advisable to remove the aerators once in a while and clean the sedimentation on dome screen and also lime deposits by dipping the aerator in a white vinegar solution.
These aerators can clean itself of all sedimentation which generally gets accumulated on aerator screen. Routine cleaning of aerators thus can be avoided.
These aerators are a perfect solution to change the direction of flow for a comfortable wash. SSR Aerators can be tilted +/- 6 degree to +/- 10 degree .
These aerators have a special elastomeric layer on the front side of aerator which makes it easy to clean by simply rubbing the layer for lime deposits. Available in both Cascade® and Spray Type Aerators.
