Water Efficient Products/ Fixtures- Codes & Standards CHANGING PATTERNS OF WATER CONSUMPTION AND USE WATER INDIA EXPO-2017 May 10, 2017 By: Dr. Abdul Matheen, ME, Ph.D. Director Mechanical IAPMO India abdul.matheen@iapmo.org www.iapmo.org +91-9902117788
IAPMO Group Established in 1926 more than 90+ years Main Goal: International Public Health & Safety with Environmental Awareness Working Relationships Governments (U.S. EPA WaterSense, U.S. EPA ENERGY STAR, DOE, NIST, U.S. AID, etc.) Non Governmental Organizations (WHO, ANSI, ISO, ASME, ASSE, ASTM, PMI, etc.) MoUs with numerous entities in Europe, China, South America, and throughout the Asia Pacific Region Active involvement with World Plumbing Council (WPC)

Facts About our Water TOTAL WATER = 70% OF THE EARTH SURFACE DRINKABLE WATER = 0.75% About 70% of the earth s surface is covered with Water 97.5% of earth water is Sea Water/salt water That leaves 2.5% as fresh water 1.75% of fresh water remains in Glaciers, Snow-cover or Frozen elsewhere We are left with approximately 0.75% fresh water for our use (Approximately 10.4 Million, Trillion liters )
Guess What? No More Water is Being Made
Alternatives Rainwater Reclaimed water Treated waste water/process water Treated sewage Grey water recycling Mind-set?, Convenience, cost, hazards
3R-Mantra Reduce Recycle Reuse Question ourselves: To reduce water, do we have national guidelines?, or Standards?. Or Is it mandatory?

Water Efficient Products- India (WEP-I) Plumbing Fixtures considered for WEP-I Labelling
Background: Water Efficient Products-India (WEP-I) is a Rating System (Star Rating System) for Sustainable Plumbing in India. jointly developed by IAPMO India and IPA. Prior to this, There was NO RATING SYSTEM for water efficient products existed in India.
Water Closets Suggested Rating System: EWC with dual flush cistern or flushometer valve rated at not more than 6 liters for full flush and 3 liters for half flush.

Urinals Suggested Rating System: Urinal with flushing device rated at less than 3.8 liters per flush. Urinal with flushing device rated at less than 2 liters per flush. Urinal with flushing device rated at less than 1 liter per flush.
Shower Heads (Hand-held Showers) Suggested Rating: Shower head with flow-rates not more than 9.5 lpm. Shower head with flow-rates not more than 7.5 lpm. Shower head with flow-rates not more than 5.7 lpm
Faucets Suggested Rating (Private use): Non-metered faucets with or without aerators with flow-rates of not more than 8 lpm. Non-metered faucets with or without aerators with flow-rates of not more than 5.7 lpm. Non-metered faucets with or without aerators with flow-rates not more than 5.0 lpm.
Faucets Suggested Rating (Public use): Metered faucets, with mechanical control, delivering not more than 1 liter per cycle. Metered faucets, with electronic control, delivering not more than 1 liter per cycle. Metered faucets, with electronic or mechanical control, delivering not more than 0.5 liter per cycle.
Sink Faucets Suggested Rating: Sink faucets (Taps) and hand held sprays with or without aerators with flow-rates not more than 8 lpm. Sink faucets and hand held sprays with or without aerators with flow-rates not more than 5.7 lpm. Sink faucets and hand held sprays with or without aerators with flow-rates not more than 5.0 lpm.
Handheld Ablution Spray Suggested Rating: Handheld ablution spray with flow-rates of not more than 5.7 lpm. Handheld ablution spray with flow-rates not to exceed 5.0 lpm. Handheld ablution spray with flow-rates not to exceed 4.0 lpm
Dishwashers Suggested Rating: Dish washer using not more than 16 liters of water per full load of wash and rinse cycle. Dish washer using less than 11 liters of water per full load of wash and rinse cycle. Dish washer using less than 6 liters of water per full load of wash and rinse cycle.

Awareness can be THE solution Owner of Residential Structure replaces conventional Water Closet with 3 Star Rated Water Closet = SAVES 20 Liters Per Day Consumers within Region of 1 million dwellings replace water wasting toilets to 3 star WC = 20 million Liters of Water Saved Per Day 700,000,000 liters ( 0.7 Billion Liters) of water saved per year.
