Abstract

In July 2009, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) announced a notice of intent to develop a WaterSense specification for prerinse spray valves. Before proceeding with a specification, USEPA wanted to ensure that meaningful efficiency and performance criteria could be established for these products, as it does for all products that earn the WaterSense label. This article discusses the USEPA‐sponsored field study that solicits input from utilities with commercial water conservation programs on the issues, if any, that commercial and institutional kitchens have encountered with high‐efficiency prerinse spray valves, as well as determining the importance of user satisfaction to purchasers of these products.
