FAQs about WEp1:
Can you explain the 12-second duration for metering faucets?
Can I use a nonpotable water source to contribute to WEp1 compliance?
We are having trouble finding EPAct-compliant fixtures. Is that a problem?
Where can I find a clear meaning of "public" and "private" as relevant to lavatory faucets?
Are shower duration controls an acceptable water-saving strategy?
Can I include process water savings in order to earn an Exemplary Performance point?

A lavatory faucet should be included. I am not familiar with the term "health faucet"—if it is a specific fixture type that is different from a lavatory faucet, then it may arguably not be included.

Thank you, Tristan.
Health Faucet is off course different than the lavatory faucets and it is use for body cleaning pupose in toilets (when tissue papers is not being used). As suggested, we will exclude it with approprioate clarification.

So something like a bidet? You may want to check out the international compliance documents (I'm blanking on the name, ACP?). In the US, fixtures are in or out based on their inclusion into EPA policy. Since we don't commonly use bidets, they aren't in the policy. A bidet, in my opinion, would use domestic water; the reduction of which would indicate inclusion rather than exclusion.
