**The FDA Food Code specifies that handwashing with warm water is more comfortable for staff, encouraging handwashing for the recommended duration.
With the Instant Warm Handwash System, kitchen staff won’t waste water or time waiting for handwashing water to heat up. Water is also saved during the scrubbing process, as the faucet automatically shuts off when hands are moved away from the sensor. With these factors considered, the Instant Warm Handwash System costs less than $0.01 per wash!3
