Abstract

This article discusses the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (USEPA'S) WaterSense® showerhead development. Staff on the USEPA's (USEPA's) WaterSense program have spent the past two years developing the agency's draft specification for showerheads, which was released for public comment in September 2009. To create the specification, WaterSense staff members collaborated with a number of plumbing industry leaders, including product manufacturers, product certification bodies, water utilities, and other stakeholders, who participated in the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) and the Canadian Standards Association (CSA) joint task force on water‐efficient showerheads. Together with this task force, USEPA has created a protocol that will be used to test and certify WaterSense‐labeled showerheads that deliver water efficiency and performance.
