Eliminate open hoses for clean-up and sanitation. Use spray guns instead.

Did you know that you can reduce water consumption by as much as 50% by using low-pressure spray guns instead of open hoses? Ensuring that water is “on” only when needed can cut water use in half. It’s a small change that can yield big savings.

Here is just one example:
A food processor was using 15 open hoses for sanitation. The hoses were in use eight hours per day, five days per week, 50 weeks per year. 1,892 kiloliters of water were used daily.

Using hoses equipped with spray guns, water use decreased by 30% per hose. Water use dropped 65,411 litres by per day.

The processor saved $30,240 annually on water and disposal costs. The cost of the spray guns was recouped after approximately 30 days of use.
