design, the 534 allows this to happen, with the internal regulating device being able to be dismantled by removing the spring retaining ring. Through this design, periodic maintenance can be carried out thus preventing impurities which may be present in the water and could affect the correct functioning of the equipment. This enables a system to maintain its water efficiency and prevents any issues for the end user. THE BALL VALVE THAT CUTS WATER BILLS As well as the Caleffi 534 Flow Limiter, Altecnic have a water efficient ball valve, the Calflow Plus, which has been classified in the top category for water efficiency and has been verified by the Unified Water Label Scheme. The Calflow Plus combines an isolating ball valve, an automatic flow regulating
valve and strainer into one valve body. This design maintains a constant flow of water to an individual outlet – such as a tap, mixer, shower or thermostatic mixing valve – whilst the generously proportioned strainer element collects debris without continually becoming clogged and restricting the water supply. Also, with an easy-to-use and replace automatic flow cartridge inserted, the Calflow Plus offers a number of benefits when used with hot, cold and mixed water supply pipes. These include being able to isolate outlet fittings for maintenance purposes and prevent overflow by ensuring a continuous and constant flow of water at the desired flow rate. This also ensures customers are protected from splashback caused by high-pressure water when turning on a tap. WRAS approved and available in 15mm and 22mm versions, the Calflow Plus ball valve is easy to install, with just two
compression joints to make, and can be used in place of a conventional isolation valve. This makes the Calflow Plus ideal for installing in homes, council buildings, student accommodation and business premises where water consumption is an issue and space is at a premium. Even more savings can be made when the valve is used with timed or electronic taps, controllers and showers. The combination of the Caleffi 534 Flow Limiter and the Calflow Plus can help improve the efficiency of a system, which is exactly what the Unified Water Label Scheme aims to achieve. Installers can use the online database to research and build their own awareness of how to make the systems they are working on as efficient as possible - saving money for their customers, whilst also helping to reduce water wastage. * https://maintaindrains.co.uk/the-uk-is-wasting-billions- of-litres-of-clean-drinking-water-every-day/
