FLOW,

History of the Neoperl Group

Neoperl is founded in 1959 as a Swiss-German family-owned company located in Basel (Switzerland) and

Müllheim (Germany) and remains privately owned to this day. Throughout the world, Neoperl employs around

1,900 people in 16 different countries.

Millions of people use NEOPERL

products every day – whether or not they are aware of it. They are ‘hidden’

inside appliances – virtually everywhere where drinking water flows in a building.

THE NEOPERL GROUP

STOP

AND GO!

The classic product in the Neoperl range is the aerator, which is fitted in the spouts of faucets on washbasins

and bathtubs and shapes the water stream. Particularly sophisticated aerators are equipped with integrated

flow regulators, which offer a means of saving water and energy. Another core NEOPERL

product is the check

valve. It protects faucets and plumbing systems, for example, by preventing used water from flowing back

into the line system.

Connecting hoses, shower hoses, kitchen hoses and diverters complete the available product groups.

Diverters offer a means of switching between the tub filler and the shower head.

NEOPERL

products fulfil norms and standards regarding faucets around the globe; for example European

norm EN 246, EPA WaterSense in the United States or AS/NZS 6400 in Australia. In order to secure its leading

position in terms of quality, Neoperl relies on the highest level of automation. As part of the manufacturing

process, every production step is subject to a fully integrated 100 % quality control.

SMALL PARTS THAT MAKE ALL

THE DIFFERENCE.

Aerators – one of the most

important components of every faucet

Nowadays, aerators can be found on the

spouts of virtually all washbasin and bath-

tub faucets.

They shape the water to produce a non-

splashing stream and add air to make the

water pleasantly soft. They also reduce

plumbing noise and help to save water and

energy.

CONSTANT FLOW RATE.

ALWAYS LOOKING AHEAD.

A QUESTION OF DIVERSION.

SAVING WATER AND ENERGY.

Neoperl promotes a responsible attitude towards the use of drinking water with its

water-saving and energy-saving products. Always aiming to provide as much water as

you need, but using as little as possible – in the shower, bathroom and kitchen. Warm

water accounts for the majority of water saved. This means that NEOPERL

products are

playing an active role in reducing the energy consumed by heating water and making an

important contribution towards protecting our climate and our environment. It's never too

late. Existing faucets and showers can be easily retrofitted with water-saving components

any time.

Flow regulators ensure that a defined,

virtually constant flow rate is maintained,

regardless of pressure fluctuations.

They are used in faucets, in instantaneous

water heaters and in solenoid valves.

You can use flow regulators to reduce

water consumption and take advantage

of cost-effective solutions in the wide

spectrum of technical applications.

Check valves protect faucets and installa-

tion systems to prevent the backflow,

backpressure or backsiphonage of used

water into the pipeline system. They also

guard against the potentially hazardous

crossover flow between hot and cold

systems in thermostatic faucets, for

example. This means that hot water cannot

get into the cold water pipe or vice versa.

Diverters are used to switch the water

stream between two different outlets:

between the tub filler position and the

shower in a bathtub faucet, and between

the overhead shower and the hand shower

in a shower faucet.

NEOPERL

diverters have proven their

stability successfully in series of intensive

endurance tests. The requirements of the

standards are surpassed by a long way.
