"Unidades Hunter"

There are various methods for determining the peak demand of a water distribution system. The most popular method of determining peak demand is the Hunter Method. This method, using water supply fixture units, was developed by Dr. Roy Hunter in the early part of the 20th century. According to published reports by Dr. Hunter, he points out the inaccuracies of the method.
The Hunter Method assigns a water supply fixture unit to each fixture. This fixture unit value is a probability factor used to determine the total use of water within a given system. Hunter developed a curve that establishes the flow rate for any given water supply fixture unit value.
The Hunter Method originally assumed two types of buildings; one that used tank-type water closets and one that used flushometer-type water closets. The problem with this concept is that it does not account for the normal operation of a building. A football stadium will have a different demand on a water distribution system than an office building. Similarly, a large home with five bathrooms will have a different demand than an apartment with one bathroom.

I know quite a bit about plumbing,but have never come acros this word.I would like to see it in the full context, does "Unidades Hunter" actually appear with capital letters, which would indicate that this is purely a common makers name (like we often use bic i/o biro etc), it cud be a Hunter Stop Cock for example or a Perrys Sto Cock?? My name is Hunt so I am hot on this!!!
