FORENO. now features Cold Start Technology on selected kitchen sink mixers. This advanced engineering is designed to reduce unnecessary hot water use, helping improve energy efficiency in the home.
On standard mixer taps, the centre lever position typically activates a mix of hot and cold water. This means that even when you only want cold water, the hot water system may still activate, using energy unnecessarily.
Cold Start changes this. When the tap lever is in the upright starting position, only cold water is activated. Hot water is only used when the handle is deliberately moved to the hot position.
This simple change can help reduce hot water usage, improve energy efficiency, and lower power consumption over time – especially in kitchens where taps are frequently turned on for short periods.
Another benefit of Cold Start tapware is installation flexibility. Because the lever does not need to be pushed back towards the wall for the off position, these mixers can be installed closer to the wall. This makes them ideal for kitchen sinks, butler’s pantries, and areas where space behind the tap is limited.
Cold Start Technology is currently available on selected FORENO sink mixer models and will continue to be introduced into new models as our collections grow.
