# Shower Head Supplier for Australia and New Zealand Importers Source: https://www.ningboware.com/sourcing/shower-head-supplier-for-australia-new-zealand/ Publisher: Cixi Zhonghe Sanitary Appliance Factory (ZHONGHE), Cixi, Ningbo, Zhejiang, China. Contact: steven@ningboware.com Updated: 2026-09-05 Australia and New Zealand are the markets where a plumbing scheme most clearly applies to shower heads: WaterMark certification for plumbing products and the WELS water-efficiency rating for flow. G1/2 fitment is accepted directly. ZHONGHE, a shower head factory in Cixi, Ningbo, China, specifies flow at a stated pressure, supplies component reports, and arranges WaterMark and WELS testing with third-party labs per project rather than claiming them in advance, supplying importers from 500 to 2,000 units.

Australia and New Zealand add a national scheme: WaterMark certification for plumbing products sold for installation, and the WELS rating that labels water efficiency. Whether a specific product needs WaterMark depends on how it is sold and installed, so the importer's channel decides; the factory prepares the product and the evidence either way. ## Specifying flow for WELS WELS rates flow, and flow depends on pressure, so the specification starts with a target flow at a stated pressure. ZHONGHE tests selected specifications at 0.3MPa in-house and has measured about 50-70% lower flow on water-saving specs than on standard heads. The nozzle plate and restrictor are chosen to hit the target, samples are verified, and scheme testing is arranged with a third-party lab per project. ## Fitment and paperwork G1/2 is accepted directly, so hand showers and hoses fit without conversion; adapters cover legacy fittings. Component reports for plastics and plating, flow data, and lab arrangements for WaterMark are supplied per project. The importer holds final conformity, and the factory's documents are prepared around that. ## FAQ ### Are ZHONGHE shower heads WaterMark certified?
