Pre-rinse spray valves used in commercial and institutional kitchens are designed to remove food waste from dishes prior to dishwashing. Pre-rinsing can account for nearly one-third of the water used in a typical commercial kitchen. According to the US EPA replacing existing, non-efficient pre-rinse spray heads 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.
