LAMINAR FLOW
Laminar Flow
is achieved by arresting the kinetic energy at the faucets's discharge
point down to less than 4 ft. per second and directing water through preceisely
engineered and spaced perforated plates within the flow control.

Laminar
Flow Means:
- No splash, improved wetting ability, excellent
cohesion, softness, low velocity and cannot introduce
airborne bacteria to the water system.
- Fluid particles move in parallel layers.
- Each layer has a constant velocity and
is in relative motion to its neighbor.
- Very low velocity compared to
aerated streams.
- A transparent, crystal clear solid soft
stream of water.

Aerated
Flow Means:
Introducing air
to the water flow. That is why they are called "aerators".
This causes bubbles, promotes splashing and, more importantly, allows
airborne bacteria to enter the water system. Hospitals, healthcare
facilities and even public facilities have begun to recognize this
and do not allow for the use of aerators.
