New Water-Saving Standards 2016

Due to the severity of California's drought, Governor Edmund G. Brown Jr. has signed an executive order in April 2015, authorising the California Energy Commission to launch new water-saving standards for appliances with immediate effect.

New flow rate requirements in California:

Residential lavatory faucets: flow rate shall not exceed 1.5/1.2 gallons per minute (gpm) as per this timeline:
Step 1: max. flow rate shall not exceed 1.5 gpm for products manufactured on or after September 1, 2015 (matching the existing CalGreen and EPA WaterSense regulation). The max. flow rate for products manufactured before September 1, 2015 was 2.2 gpm.
Step 2: max. flow rate shall not exceed 1.2 gpm for products manufactured on or after July 1, 2016.
Neoperl offers a wide range of EPA WaterSense listed PCA® models to meet the above mentioned requirements.
Kitchen faucets: the flow rate for products sold or offered for sale on or after January 1, 2016 shall not exceed 1.8 gpm (default setting) with a possibility to temporarily increase the flow rate to 2.2 gpm to fill pots and pans.
Note: was defined by the CalGreen program already; NEOPERL® Ecobooster being a perfect solution. The max. flow rate for products sold or offered for sale prior to January 1, 2016 is 2.2 gpm.
Public lavatory faucets: flow rate shall not exceed 0.5 gpm for products sold or offered for sale on or after January 1, 2016. The previous max. flow rate is 2.2 gpm.
Note: identical to existing U.S. requirement.
Fixed showerheads/Shower handheld/horizontal body sprayers:
Step 1: max. flow rate shall not exceed 2.0 gpm for products manufactured on or after July 1, 2016 (matching the existing CalGreen and EPA WaterSense requirements).
Step 2: max. flow rate shall not exceed 1.8 gpm for products manufactured on or after July 1, 2018.
Neoperl offers a range of flow regulator solutions in many shapes and sizes meeting these flow rate requirements. Please click here for more information.

The grace period granted for conversion is short. Furthermore, it does not only apply to new buildings: the manufacture and/or sale of non-compliant products is prohibited as per the above timeline.

You are looking for 1.2 gpm aerators meeting the new Californian flow rate requirements?

You can find a detailed conversion list (1.5 to 1.2 gpm) for PCA® faucet aerators below. Please note: a few models are currently in preparation and will be available soon.

In case you are using a restricted 1.5 gpm aerator model please look for the corresponding PCA® 1.2 gpm aerator model with the same features.
