As technology advances we see the need of continuing our efforts to conserve water. We have recently changed our pre rinse valves from a 2.65 gpm, to a T & S Brass of 1.24 gpm, we made an entry in our blog about the potential savings with that valve. Two weeks ago we were given by National Grid, 3 Bricor BO64 PRV that restricts the flow of water to 0.64 gallons per minute, there is more pressure on the rinse and we are expecting to cut in a half our average pre rinse hot water consumption now, so we are going from 1.24 gpm to 0.64 gpm, we expect additional savings in water, sewer and gas.

A low-flow pre-rinse spray valve is one of the easiest and most cost effective energy saving devices available for restaurants. Ordered mine trough a supply web site called etundra.com.
In addition to minimizing water consumption, water heating energy and sewer charges are also reduced. Replacing a typical spray valve that flows up to three gallons of water per minute (gpm) with a low-flow unit can yield the following results:
1 hour of use/day = 60 gallons (water savings)
2 hours of use/day = 120 gallons
3 hours of use/day = 180 gallons
The T & S Brass model is B-0107-c, and the flow rate is 1,24 GPM @ 60 PSI
It is amazing how much water you could save, and also gas. Our diswashers love the product because it is easier for them to rinse dishes before running them through the dishmachine./Users/admin/Documents/GREEN/Sprayvalve3.jpg
