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.
