Duravit Tulum single lever basin mixer M FreshStart, TU1021001010 (5.5 l/min.)

With a Duravit FreshStart single lever basin mixer, a family of four can save up to EUR 277.99 per year compared to a conventional hand shower, as well as up to 315.56 kg of CO2.*

* The calculation is based on the following assumptions:

• Note: The savings shown result from the reduced energy consumption of the Duravit FreshStart single lever basin mixer compared to a standard single lever basin mixer, through its cold-water default setting on the lever’s middle setting.
