The Toro Co. was awarded WaterSense certification by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for its range of 570Z Series sprayheads with built-in pressure regulation.

“As responsible stewards of water, we are excited for our 570Z Series products to have been proven to help our customers save water,” said Orion Goe, Toro’s marketing manager for residential and commercial irrigation. “This WaterSense certification is further evidence of Toro’s commitment to meeting the expectations of our customers and the shared goals around being efficient with our natural resources.”

The certification was awarded after a thorough evaluation and third-party testing in accordance with the EPA’s WaterSense Specification for Spray Sprinkler Bodies. The 570Z Series sprays met or exceeded the specification’s requirements, which include restrictive tolerances for flow and pressure characteristics.

Sponsored by the EPA, the WaterSense program is a voluntary partnership between manufacturers, retailers, distributors and other stakeholders. The WaterSense label certifies that labeled products and services use at least 20 percent less water than competing, nonlabeled models.
