Efficient faucets


La Torre Faucets, (www.latorre-spa-it), Booth C-4236; since 1960, designed, engineered, and produced in Italy. La Torre offers their “ECO Cartridge” which is available on many single control faucet series. This unique cartridges has a tiered step, which when you first lift up on the


handle, it has a “bump” or stop about 1/2 way up, limiting the amount of water flow by 20-40% (depending on the water pressure). With an additional lift of the handle, it will go to the full flow of water when needed. The ECO Cartridge operates like the concept of a dual flush system in toilet technology. e Circle 122 on reader reply
