NC-2009 WEp1:Water Use Reduction—20% Reduction

Prerequisite denied - Appeal Solution

1) So we're going to appeal our failed prerequisit (after finding the limit of 12 seconds on metering faucets). We are planning to upload an invoice for a type of airrator (perlator) product which will reduce the flowrate together with letter of intent signed by the owner that the product will be installed. Do you think this will be enough? Ofcourse the online form will be revised for the new rates. 2) It should be noted that not only is the industry standard, in germany, that flowrates are set at 6 l/min, but it is also required by local quality standard certification programs... the link to the most noteworthy QA program used here is: http://www.well-online.eu/config/media/files/173_WELL%20Klassifizierungsschema.pdf It is interesting that the industry standard in Germany and that of the IPC are so far from each other regarding flowrates (or implied flowrates).

Jean, what is the nature of your question? If the product produces the required flow rate, then what would be the issue?It would be better to actually install the product, of course, rather than just promise to do so.

Thanks Tristan. The parts should be arriving this week. I'll wait till they are installed and get a letter confirming the installation. This is my first appeal, so I'm not sure what kind of actions are acceptable to "remediate" a problem, i.e. the amount of proof required.
