„In a modern passive house building heating is negligible. This does not hold true for the hot water consumption. The spray valves in fixures represent a quantum leap in building techniques. The technology saves 90% of water consumption and 100% of hot water energy – just brilliant.”

„Genial – brilliant idea / genius realization – overall brilliant. We should all be proud that such products have their origin in Switzerland. At a stroke, the water consumption for washing hands is reduced by more than a factor of 10. Hot water is unnecessary – try this faucet, it will convince you.”

„The combination of ecology, technology and design has been implemented perfectly in the new spray tap. Once again it has been proved how highly innovative Swiss SME’s are – congratulations.”

„The spray tap is a sign of understanding – the understanding of a task, the understanding of a need. The faucet is a sign far across the object. The fitting leads to a change in thinking not only in terms of water consumption but also in respect of the building, an essential approach to reduce today’s building installations.”
