Water saving devices

[MelindaL Griffiths]

I now have a number of building related guidelines (thanks everyone who responded to the last question), but now I am investigating risk associated with inserting flow restricting washers into the water supply for the showers and the handbasins. My concern is that it may promote microbial growth in the fixtures – but I have been unable to find reference to that specific issue.

Melinda,

Can you clarify – are you talking about mixing valves?
