Question: How can schools future proof their faucets without replacing the whole system?
Answer: Chicago Faucets believes the smartest investment is one that adapts. That’s why our new MVP® metering faucet line was designed with interchangeability at its core. Each model features the trusted MVP® cartridge and rugged 765 series cylindrical handle. These handles are ADA-compliant, vandal-resistant, and engineered for quick cycle adjustments without needing to shut-off the water.
And on top of this we have water saving models with 0.35GPM and 0.50 GPM flow for sustainability and customizable run time of 2 to 25 seconds. Here is what is even better...The school facility manager or maintenance person doesn’t need to tear out the old Chicago Faucets faucet to get new functionality. Designed with our philosophy of “backwards compatibility,” the MVP series faucets put owners first by ensuring easy maintenance and minimizing the total cost of ownership throughout the product’s life. With just a cartridge and handle swap, they can convert most Chicago Faucets manual faucets to efficient MVP® metering and back.
We are offering a free Cartridge Box Set to architects, specifiers and facility staff—to see how easily our systems adapt to changing needs in education.
