Handwash
fountains allow many users to wash their hands at once. They are far more efficient and
cost-beneficial than traditional lavatories, and they come in a variety of
configurations.
The larger units are circular in design. They are built to service 5-8 users at a
time. Semi-circular units are
slightly smaller and service 3-4 users at a time. Both circular and semicircular units use
less space and water than conventional lavatories.
They
also come with a variety of spray head controls as follows:
·
Foot controls turn on all spray
heads simultaneously.
·
IR Controls sense hand and sprays
only from one head.
·
BIR works identically to IR, but it
also contains a transformer that converts AC to DC and runs on 4D
batteries.
·
Water volume control is also
directly adjustable so that companies have more than one means of controlling
both power costs and water costs..
Handwash
fountains offer many cost saving benefits compared to
individual lavatories.
To
begin with, they can be installed at a much lower cost. They are also very durable and
vandal-resistant. Their geometric
shape is more attractive than that of a conventional sink. Additionally, the simple fact that one
station is equivalent to 2-8 lavatories represents additional savings in water
and space conservation.
Handwash
fountains can be operated at much lower costs as
well
They use less water, and they rely upon a single heat source to heat
all the water to serve multiple users.
In the classic circular design, a single sprayhead services multiple
users at once. This represents an
80% water savings when compared to the consumption of 5-8 individual
lavatories.
In a semi-circular fountain, a sectional sprayhead services each
individual. This saves 2 gallons of
water per fountain compared to individual lavatory fountains.
With
either design, the water bill will be dramatically increased. Water conservation is further ensured by
automatic cutoff valves.
Water
conservation is not the only benefit these units provide to businesses,
however. Space is a precious
commodity in the manufacturing, warehousing, and distribution worlds. While sanitation is an absolute must,
conservation of floor space is also very important to cost effective
operations. Handwash fountains
allow companies to save on space as well as water.
Less
maintenance on these units also helps to conserve man hours, cleaning, and
repair.
It is much easier to service a single fixture with a single source of
water. The bowl design is much
easier to clean than a contoured (and very often very oddly shaped sink). The heavy-duty build of these units also
minimized damages and the need for subsequent repairs.
Handwash
fountains are available in many different models and
material builds are available to match specific environments and
applications.
There
are both deep bowl and shallow bowl units.
Fountains are made to either stand alone as circular fixtures,
semi-circular fixtures, or reside in a corner for optimal space
consolidation. There are many
materials to choose from as well, including Terreon, terrazzo, and
Bradstone.
A variety of valve and control configurations can also be ordered to
ensure maximum conservation of resources and user friendly operation.
