[labnetwork] Recirculating DI water spray guns?

[Mary Tang]

Dear labnetwork members --

Our wet benches have "recirculating" DI guns to avoid stagnant water 
lines.  WIth 10 wet benches, this adds up to 50K gallons of DI water 
each year.  We are in the process of replacing our wet benches.  All of 
the wet bench providers we've spoken with have said that most of their 
customers are choosing to use non-recirculating DI spray guns to save 
water.   But I wonder if this may be feasible in certain lab 
environments.  Does anyone have advice and insight to offer?

Mary
