 “Wash your hands !!” We have all heard that command since
childhood and it is one of the most important things we can do to prevent the
spread of infections.
Our Sentry
Washfountains have been specifically designed for use in facilities that
have light to moderate hand washing needs.
These wash fountains are constructed of durable stainless steel which is
virtually impervious to rust, stains, mold, mildew and burns. The Sentry Wash Fountain has many
applications and is frequently found in restaurants, medical facilities,
schools, universities, stadiums, country clubs, retrofit applications and light
manufacturing or warehouse facilities.
In addition these wash fountains are ADA compliant.
Although most
people understand that hand washing is important, they often do not do it out of
forgetfulness or laziness. The
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has stated that if you do not
wash your hands frequently then you are at risk of acquiring germs from other
sources. When you inadvertently
touch your eyes, nose or mouth with one of your hands then you can transmit an
infection to yourself. This is one
of the most common methods of transmission of the cold viruses. In addition, if you have a cold or the
flu, you should wash your hands more frequently. If not, you will be spreading your germs
onto other items and surfaces that other people will touch. And then the whole family is
sick.
When should you
wash your hands? Any time is
appropriate but in particular when you have visited the restroom. You should also wash your hands before
preparing, eating or serving food as well as after touching any pet or animal.
And you certainly should wash your
hands after blowing your nose or coughing into your hands. Other actions that
would necessitate hand washing are outdoor activities, before and after visiting
anyone who is sick, dirty hands and after changing a baby’s diaper.
Our Sentry
Washfountains provide the means but the user must wash his or her hands properly. The
steps for proper hand washing are to wet your hands with warm water and apply
soap, lathering it well by vigorously rubbing the hands together for at least
fifteen seconds. All surfaces
should be scrubbed including the wrists, between the fingers, under the
fingernails and the backs of the hands. After rinsing off the soap lather a
clean disposable towel can be used to dry the hands. The towel can then be used to turn off
the water faucet which allows the user to avoid touching a possibly contaminated
surface.
Please avoid the
mistake of ordering our Sentry Wash Fountain for the wrong type of
application. This model of wash
fountain is for light to moderate use.
Do not order or use this equipment for heavy duty hand washing
applications. The Sentry
Washfountain bowel is shallow and the water flow rate is not appropriate for
heavy duty applications. We have
other models that are specifically designed for heavy duty use.
Also, all Sentry Washfountains are
available in stainless steel only. They have a water flow rate of 0.5 gallons
per minute per station which is most suitable for applications where water and
energy conservation are primary concerns.
The optional infrared controls along with the stainless steel
construction make the Sentry Wash Fountain an excellent selection for locations
where hygiene is a primary consideration.
Most Sentry Wash
Fountains are sold as pedestal units but wall mounted versions are also
available.
