PRE RINSE SPRAY UNITS
Pre-rinse spray valves—often used in commercial and institutional kitchens—are designed to remove food waste from dishes prior to dishwashing. By switching to a high-efficiency pre-rinse spray valve, a commercial or institutional kitchen can save more than $110 annually in energy and water costs.Commercial Prerinse Spray Kitchen Mixer Taps, Deck Mount Dual Holes Tall Pre Rinse Unit With Faucet

In fact, pre-rinse spray valves can account for nearly one-third of the water used in a typical commercial kitchen.

After offering a WaterSense label for efficient, high-performing pre-rinse spray valves for several years, WaterSense has successfully transformed the marketplace for commercial kitchen pre-rinse spray valves. The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) adopted the WaterSense efficiency threshold and performance test for the national energy regulation covering these devices. Therefore, WaterSense sunset its specification for pre-rinse spray valves, effective January 1, 2019. The revised federal regulation requires every pre-rinse spray valve sold in the United States to meet or exceed the efficiency criteria that were established in the previous WaterSense specification. Closing out the specification allows WaterSense to direct its resources to address other products and practices that save water.
Replacing existing, non-efficient pre-rinse spray valves flowing at 1.6 gallons per minute (gpm) or greater with high efficiency, DOE-compliant models offers a significant opportunity for water and cost savings within commercial kitchens. A total of 30 models of pre-rinse spray valves had earned the WaterSense label by the time EPA sunset the WaterSense Specification for Commercial Pre-Rinse Spray Valves
Water Savings: Replacing one old, inefficient pre-rinse spray valve with a high-efficiency, DOE-compliant model can save a typical commercial kitchen more than 7,000 gallons of water per year. That’s equivalent to the amount of water needed to wash nearly 4,800 racks of dishes. Because kitchens use hot water to rinse dishes, installing a high-efficiency pre-rinse spray valve can reduce a commercial kitchen’s annual natural gas use by more than 5,700 cubic feet per year. That’s enough energy to run its convection oven 12 hours a day for nearly three weeks.
