What is Aquaclic?
AquaClic is a flow regulator with pressure compensation
AquaClic limits the water flow to a constant 6 liters per minute:
- Between 10 and 15 liters of water flow out of an unregulated tap, depending on the water pressure. This means the more you open the tap, the more water flows out (upper curve).
- The lower curve shows how the AquaClic limits the water flow to a maximum of 6 liters when the tap is already opened one quarter. This quantity remains the same, whether you open the tap further or not.
What does flow regulator with pressure compensation mean?
The function of the pressure compensating flow regulator basically consists in expanding and retracting of a special O-ring against a precision profile by which the flow opening automatically changes depending on the distribution pressure.The flow is regulated to 6 litres per minute:
0 bar = no pressure (closed tap)
3 bar = normal pressure in homes (open tap)
5 bar = high pressure (in comparision: a fire hydrant has 8 bar)
