Introducing Safe Shower's new showerhead that minimizes the growth of biofilm and pathogens like Legionella. The showerhead circulates disinfectants like chlorine or UV water and uses UVC LED disinfectant approach that generates electricity using a tiny turbine.
CEE Assistant Professor Sarah Haig receives $420K form NSF to understand how different showerhead features impact exposure to drinking water-associated pathogens.
In a previous column last year, I identified a change in definition, by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), regarding showerheads, body sprays and safety shower showerheads. In December 2020, during the Trump administration, DOE basically redefined “showerhead” as a single device that discharges water. Hence, if you installed two showerheads installed on a single shower valve, DOE would consider them two showerheads.
Most plumbing manufacturers thought when DOE proposed the rule, it was nice but had very little chance of being finalized. That is why it was so shocking when on Dec. 8, 2020, the final rule was signed into law.
In August, the Department of Energy (DOE), published a proposed rulemaking that would change the definition of a showerhead. While this sounds simple enough, you have to remember this is the federal government.
The showerheads, pressure balance and thermostatic trims included in the DXV Modulus collection are distinguished by slim profiles and valve performance.
