Environmentally and "wallet"-friendly : Thanks to Ideal Standard's innovative CLICK CLICK technology. The single lever basin mixer and bidet mixer incorporate a CLICK feature that encourages water saving – the user lifts the handle until they feel a slight resistance. This resistance informs the user that the fitting is delivering only 50% of its maximum flow potential. Lifting the handle further enables the fitting to deliver maximum flow. CLICK technology is available on Idyll Two, Ceramix, Ceraplan and Melange.technology which reduces the water flow by up to 50% of full flow; the new ATTITUDE range shines ecologically as well as economically. This feature is fitted to the single lever vessel mixer with classic outlet, single lever basin mixer with classic outlet and bidet mixer where there is a positive stop on the lever movement at 50% flow.  Fully raising the flow lever overcomes this to give full flow.   For high pressure installations a flow regulator is provided with basin mixers to limit flow to 5 litres per minute.

Innovation in design: ATTITUDE offers a range of mixer taps with either a Classic, rounded water flow or with a spa-inspired Waterfall feature: air is introduced into the water flow to soften the water stream for a splash-free flow. Aerators also restrict the water flow from the tap without reducing water pressure so they are a great way of reducing the amount of water used. Both the Classic and Waterfall aerators are concealed within a chromium plated, inter-changeable inlay integrated into the underside of the tap. As a result of this unique design, they give a clean, splash-free stream of water.

"The ATTITUDE range combines innovative technology and high quality materials to meet criteria not only of minimal water use, but also of safety and health." said Jordi Cazorla, VP Fittings at Ideal Standard International.
