Flow control of faucets is a highly-refined technology, delivering a balance between user comfort and water conservation.
Water conservation is becoming increasingly critical around the world as the demand for water grows in the face of population increase, and drought conditions become more prevalent in many areas due to the impact of climate change.

Various countries are taking action to enforce water conservation measures, including the introduction of flow rate limitations on plumbing fixtures.

Across the other side of the globe in US, the Government recently introduced the Water Efficiency Labeling and Standards Scheme. The Scheme applies national water efficiency labeling and minimum performance standards to household water-using products, including faucets.
By placing greater emphasis on the wise use of water, the need to construct new expensive infrastructure such as dams and wastewater treatment plants can be reduced or delayed. One company that is making a major contribution to water conservation around the world is Arthur Plumbing and Heating.
