Save water, cut energy costs, and reduce your kitchen’s environmental footprint with a water-efficient pre-rinse spray valve.
CHECK YOUR ELIGIBILITY
Benefits of Energy Efficient Pre-Rinse Spray Valves
Older pre‑rinse spray valves use about 10–15 L/min with shower-style nozzles that depend on high volume for cleaning. New WELS 6‑star valves use only 4–6 L/min, clean more efficiently, and finish tasks faster using less water. Typical outlet temperature is 40–60°C, and swapping a gas‑heated valve can save about 10.6 GJ of energy per valve annually.
Key advantages:
•Faster, easier food removal from dishes.
•Up to two‑thirds less water than old models.
•Lower water bills.
•Less hot water used, cutting energy costs.
Typical savings:
Replacing a valve in a commercial kitchen can save roughly $160–$352 per year, including about $95 in water savings and around $73 (natural gas) or $256 (electric) in energy savings. Over a year, this also prevents thousands of litres of water use, reducing utility costs significantly.

In the restaurant industry, water consumption is significant.
It’s used in serving customers, powering ice machines, operating dishwashers, and flowing through sinks. A simple yet impactful change is upgrading to a water-efficient pre-rinse spray valve to reduce costs.
The pre-rinse spray valve plays a crucial role in commercial kitchens. It removes leftover food and debris from dishes before they enter the dishwasher. Switching from an outdated valve to a more efficient model significantly lowers water usage, leading to cost savings.
