Coronavirus Prevention for Schools: Install Hands-Free Drinking Fountains

With businesses and schools attempting to re-open, we must take all the proper precautions. This will reduce the spread of germs so we can remain open. At PlumbersStock, we know there is at least one way we can help withCoronavirus prevention for schools:touchless, sensor-operated water coolers! Traditional drinking fountains facilitate the transmission of germs because you have to touch the push bar to operate them. There is no way to significantly mitigate this risk without removing the push bar altogether. Well, guess what?Elkay所做的正是这一点。

We want to ensure that school and business administrators are educated about what’s available. Here, we’ll cover all thedifferent options for hands-free drinking fountainsandbottle fillers.

Elkay Touchless Water Coolers

Some bi-level water coolers are hybrid configurations. That means that one side operates with a sensor, and the other, a push bar. For instance, theElkay LZOTL8WSLKis an example of this kind of setup. However, since we want to reduce contact, we’ll only cover fully touchless models here.

ezH2O Filling Stations

Installingan ezH2O bottle filler is the best strategyfor Coronavirus prevention. If you really want to mitigate contact, then avoid drinking from the cooler altogether. Fountains have bubblers and let’s face it, kids are probably going to touch the bubblers. Consider that we’ve seen school administrators remove bubblers altogether, rendering the coolers useless. All of these water dispensers areADA approvedand are graded for commercial applications.

• In-wall, filtered, refrigerated, stainless steel (LZWSM8K)
• In-wall, unfiltered, refrigerated, stainless steel (EZWSM8K)
• Surface mount, filtered, non-refrigerated, stainless steel (LZWSSM)
