Chicago Faucets has announced changes to the flow rate of the EQ Series of electronic faucets that utilize Self-Sustaining Power Systems (SSPS). All EQ faucets with SSPS will now have a low flow rate of 0.35 GPM to meet water conservation and sustainability initiatives. The SSPS model features an internal turbine and rechargeable storage device that constantly creates and stores energy generated by the flow of water with no minimum or maximum usage per day.
“It is our goal to align the SSPS-powered EQ faucet product offering with the AC- and DC-powered versions to help our customers meet their water conservation needs,” says Adam Molberger, product manager at Chicago Faucets. The AC- and DC-powered versions are available with 0.35 GPM and 0.5 GPM flow rates.
The EQ Series electronic faucets are designed for installation, maintenance and operation ease. The EQ Series is suited for public restrooms. The solenoid, power module and mixing valve of the EQ Series are assembled into a control box that fits under the sink and installs with two screws; stainless steel hose and electronics cable are pre-installed for plug-and-play installation; and EQ has built-in intelligence for user detection.
