Water efficiency

All applicable Meir products are WELS-rated under Australia's water efficiency scheme. Meir's water-saving showers combine air and water to form a restricted flow of medium-pressure droplets, using less water and energy.

Specifying Meir for UK homes

Meir advises that its products can be used in most European homes, and that UK customers should give the technical specifications to their plumber or architect to check local fitting and size requirements, particularly for showers and bath spouts.

• Water pressure: a minimum of 150 kPa (300 kPa for diverter mixers) and a maximum of 500 kPa; Meir states its tapware is not suited to gravity-fed systems or instantaneous hot water systems.
• Connections: showers and spouts have a female 1/2-inch BSP thread as standard and may need an additional male-to-male connector in some installations.
• Standards: Meir holds WaterMark and WELS certification in Australia; any local standard such as WRAS should be checked with a UK trade professional.

In Australia. Meir is an Australian, family-owned company, and its products are made in DZR brass with European parts and components from Switzerland, Hungary and Spain.

Can Meir taps be used in UK homes?

Meir says its products can be used in most European homes, but they need a water pressure of at least 150 kPa (300 kPa for diverter mixers) and are not suited to gravity-fed or instantaneous hot water systems. Faura checks each specification with the project's plumber.

What thread do Meir showers and spouts use?

Meir showers and spouts have a female 1/2-inch BSP thread connection as standard. Some installations need an additional male-to-male connector, and some setups need in-wall components.

Do Meir 2-in-1 shower rails need a diverter mixer?

No. Meir's 2-in-1 showers have a built-in diverter, so a single mixer or a set of wall taps can control the shower.

How should matte black Meir tapware be cleaned?

With a soft cloth and warm soapy water only. Meir advises against harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners and scourers, which can damage the finish.
