Faucet & Inline Flow Controls


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.
