Water Flow Restrictor / Regulator / Water Flow Control Valve | Faucet Aerator ecoturbino DFL5 & Perlator | Water saver for sinks | Saving water and energy (electricity for hot water) | up to 40% less costs when washing hands, etc.

We’ve all been there or seen it happen. You go to wash your hands or brush your teeth and just let the water run continuously until the final rinse.

As a result, over 70% of the hot fresh water is just wasted by letting it run freely – a tremendous waste of water.

So what if you could simply reduce the cost of water, wastewater and electricity for hot water in this use?

That’s precisely where the ecoturbino pressure-independent* water saving flow limiter comes into play.

The DFL5 water flow limiter independently limits the flow rate (see graphic) of water at the faucet to 5 liters / minute ± 10%.
The flow limiter compensates for pressure differences, releasing the water in a steady stream, making it feel softer.
Ecoturbino flow limiters are cost-effective WATER SAVING products that can be installed by anyone within minutes.

* Important information for hotels with, for example, 20 or more rooms. Even if all guests turn on the water simultaneously, the flow limiter works perfectly normally.

While looking for sustainable solutions, we came across the “Made in Austria” ecoturbino flow limiter. We got it, tested it, and are thrilled.

With it, you can continuously save 40% of water, energy (electricity, gas, oil, etc. for hot water production), and costs at the bathroom sink – in addition, calcification at the front only appears much later (for example about 2 years).

The small water flow limiter & perlator with a big impact!

The water flow controller reduces water consumption regardless of pressure to 5 liters per minute.
With 40% air admixture, a pleasant and soft comfort jet is created, resulting in a splash-free and perfect water exit.
The water flow limiter is characterized by a very low noise level and a long service life due to “limescale protection”. Important: With local small boilers dripping through the faucet, limescale cannot be prevented.
Suitable for M22x1 internal threads and M24x1 external thread standard holders.

Washing hands, brushing teeth, etc., with ecoturbino DFL5 means SAME behavior, MORE hygiene, LESS water, LESS cost, much LESS limescale

Why the ecoturbino® DFL5 water saving flow control valve & water saver is perfect

Saving water and especially hot water means one thing today: saving money!

Water is already expensive due to the costs of wastewater and will probably become even more expensive in the future. The situation with hot water is even worse. It has become more expensive due to the rising energy costs of electricity, gas, and oil.

Therefore, innovative solutions that offer a reduction in water consumption always provide a good savings potential that immediately reflects in costs.

And this is where the ecoturbino products come into play.

Important: If there is a local, older small boiler (Under Sink Water Heaters) on site, the faucet is often used as a pressure relief valve, and rapid calcification cannot be avoided.

How the DFL5 eCOTURBINO® works

Water reduction with added benefits!

What does ecoturbino DFL5 offer?

It’s simple. With the ecoturbino®, you can save 40% of water immediately after installation.

A flow restrictor, also known as a water-saving aerator, water flow regulator, or water saver, is typically a “mesh device” designed to save water by increasing resistance.

It is attached directly to the faucet. Its main function is to reduce the flow rate of the water.

The ecoturbino DFL5 flow regulator works in a completely different way.

The use of the ecoturbino water saver helps to save water at the sink without significantly restricting washing comfort.

This is achieved by mixing air bubbles into the water flow, making it more pleasant and soft on the skin without noticeably changing the flow of the water.

When should you use a water saver? Simply whenever you want to save water. Due to the significant reduction of the water volume in the flow, the ecoturbino ensures noticeable savings on your water bill.

You can choose whether to install the water saver in the bathroom, toilet, kitchen faucet, or even in a hobby room.

Moreover, using the ecoturbino DFL5 is advisable when the water jet from the faucet splashes irregularly. This can happen in old buildings or with fixtures where water pressure isn’t consistent. The ecoturbino essentially “collects” the water and releases it at a consistent pressure.

Frequently Asked Questions | FAQ

What does the ecoturbino® do?

The main advantage primarily lies in the fact that the ecoturbino can save water and energy costs, especially for the heating of hot water.
Additionally, it offers a hygiene advantage as the highly turbulent water cleans the shower hose and the shower head, thereby preventing the formation of biofilm, limescale, dirt, and other deposits.
As a result, the lifespan of the hose and the shower head is extended accordingly.

What is the savings potential?

By installing the ecoturbino before the shower hose, water consumption can be reduced by about 40%.
The actual savings depend on various factors such as the costs of water, sewage, and energy. For a private household, however, one can expect an annual saving of about 100 Euros per person. This means that a family of three people can achieve a saving of 300 Euros.
In a hotel with 100 rooms or showers, it looks quite different. The annual savings can easily amount to 10,000 € and more!
Due to these savings, the payback period is usually only a few months - almost always less than half a year!

How can one measure the difference in water consumption with/without ecoturbino?

To easily verify the savings yourself, the so-called "volume test" can be performed using the provided bag.
1. For this, a bag is filled with water from a conventional shower hose for 30 seconds at full blast, and the water level is read.
2. Then, the ecoturbino is installed before the shower hose. The bag is filled again with water for 30 seconds, and the water levels are compared.
3. This makes the significant savings immediately apparent. Even more accurate is to weigh the bag. The weight reduction in kilograms corresponds to the reduction in water consumption in liters.
In addition, we had the savings verified by TÜV Austria, and they were confirmed.

What happens when changing the hose or the shower head?

The ecoturbino can still be used. It is compatible with all standard shower hoses or showerheads that have a ½ inch thread connection.

How does the ecoturbino behave with hard water?

Due to the strong water turbulence in the ecoturbino, no limescale deposits are formed. Therefore, it is not necessary to regularly remove or clean the ecoturbino to maintain its function.

How do ecoturbino and other hoses and showerheads fit together?

For most shower hoses, there are usually no restrictions, as the standard market connection is ½ inch. However, for smaller connections, an appropriate adapter (3/8 to ½ inch) must be used.
In rare cases, water may leak from the air hole of the ecoturbino. This usually indicates that a water-saving shower head is being used. We recommend replacing it.
It is generally important, when installing the ecoturbino subsequently, to ensure that existing filters in the hose or showerhead are cleaned or ideally removed before use.

Are there any hygienic concerns regarding the ecoturbino?

Not at all. The ecoturbino improves hygiene standards due to its cleaning effect. For optimal results, the use of the "L" series is recommended.
This results in a complete emptying of the showerhead and a partial emptying of the shower hose, significantly reducing the risk of germ formation in the hose and showerhead.
In addition, we had the product tested by a hygiene institute for its effects on biofilm and the formation of legionella. It was confirmed that the ecoturbino has no adverse effects.

How long is the lifetime of the ecoturbino?

The ecoturbino shows no restrictions regarding its lifetime. Due to the strong water turbulence, no deposits form inside the ecoturbino itself. Thanks to the materials used, there are no wear and tear that could affect the device's lifespan.
The hand shower set includes a shower hose and a showerhead from the German company RC Mannesmann. These products are of high quality and meet the strict KTW requirements in Germany.
The lifetime of these components varies significantly depending on use, frequency of showering, and water quality, as is the case with all standard shower sets. Therefore, no guarantee can be given beyond the warranty period.

Are there any special installation instructions for the ecoturbino?

Each ecoturbino comes with a detailed installation guide. It's important to note that:

For hand showers, the ecoturbino is installed directly at the fixture before the shower hose.
For overhead showers, the ecoturbino is installed directly before the showerhead.

Water is leaking from the ecoturbino air hole while showering? Is this possible?

This shouldn't be the case. Please check the following:

Check if the water pressure is very low and there was a flow rate of 8 liters per minute or less even before the installation of the ecoturbino.
Ensure that the filter or reduction piece placed in the showerhead has been removed.
Use the original seals provided (green). If not available, please use these.
Check if the showerhead might be calcified, as this can also cause a recoil effect of the strongly accelerated water jet. If so, please descale or replace with a new one.

The water jet is much weaker with ecoturbino - is this possible?

Generally, the use of the ecoturbino water-saving system does not result in a loss of comfort.
If there is a loss of comfort, this may indicate that the water pressure in the system is too low or that there is inherently a flow rate of less than 8 liters per minute available.
This can occur, for example, in buildings with low water pressure or heavily calcified pipes. Especially in the upper floors of multi-storey buildings, this problem can occur. In such cases, it may not be advisable to use the ecoturbino water-saving system.
