Hi all,
We are planning to run some onsite tests to determine how water efficient are our showerheads. Since the 80 psi water pressure referenced within the EPA 1992 is not relevant for our project, we are about to get inspiration from the 8/27/2004 - CIR ruling (revised on 9/1/04) and test both baseline and design fixtures and use an alternative path.
Can any showerhead, having a 2.5 GPM water flow at 80 psi (manufacturer data), be use for the test or shall it be LEED accredited?
Does anyone know such a showerhead model or any supplier?
Does anyone have experience with such onsite tests? Is there any EPA testing program or guidelines?
Thank you in advance for your help!
Nicolas

Nicolas, it seems you an use any 2.5GPM showerhead at 80psi for your testing. There aren't any LEED accredited showerheads, so you don't have to worry about that.
