Pilar™ With Touch2O™ Technology By Delta® Wins A 2009 People’s Choice Stevie® Award

INDIANAPOLIS

The Pilar™ Pull-Down Kitchen Faucet with Touch2O™ Technology and DIAMOND™ Seal Technology by Delta® has been named a Favorite Product in the 2009 People’s Choice Stevie® Awards. The nationwide, online vote was conducted by the Stevie Awards, sponsors of the annual American Business AwardsSM, the premier business awards competition in the U.S.

Inspired by the fusion of technology and nature, Pilar with Touch2O Technology and DIAMOND Seal Technology, brings state-of-the-art design and technology into the home. Pilar is smartly designed for a cleaner and more efficient way to work in the kitchen.

The breakthrough pull-down features three relevant technologies from Delta that help simplify kitchen tasks and provide a revolutionary leak-free, lead-free water delivery system. With Touch2O Technology users can start and stop the flow of water with a simple tap anywhere on the spout or the handle, saving both water and energy. Touch2O Technology also makes kitchen tasks easier during food preparation and clean up and helps prevent the spread of bacteria. The Pilar design incorporates a two-function, pull-down spray head that switches from stream to spray with the click of a diverter button. A magnetic closure, called MagnaTite™, intuitively engages the spray head to its docked position, helping to keep both the faucet and kitchen looking neat and orderly. The faucet also incorporates DIAMOND Seal Technology, an exclusive leak-free water delivery system that eliminates contact with potential metal contaminants.

Voting for the 2009 People’s Choice Stevie Awards for Favorite New Products was open to the general public during the months of April and May 2009. More than 100,000 votes were cast in 12 People’s Choice categories including Favorite Entertainment/Media Product or Service, Favorite Gadget, Favorite Smartphone/PDA and Favorite Product or Service - Other.

Winners of the People’s Choice Stevie Awards will be honored at the 7th annual American Business Awards banquet in New York on Monday, June 22, 2009.
