Some benefits of using a pre-rinse spray valve include:
Saving water: Pre-rinse spray valves are designed to use water more efficiently, reducing overall water consumption compared to traditional faucets. Saving time: The high-pressure spray of water helps to quickly rinse dishes, saving time in the dishwashing process.
Improving sanitation: The powerful spray helps to remove food residue and bacteria from dishes, improving sanitation and reducing the risk of cross-contamination.

4. Are there different types of pre-rinse spray valves?
Yes, there are different types of pre-rinse spray valves available, including manual and automatic models. Manual models require the user to activate the spray by pressing a trigger or lever, while automatic models feature sensors that detect when a dish is present and automatically activate the spray.
