In the wake of recent years and events, authorities, municipalities, companies and designers alike are looking for solutions to make public spaces not only more functional, but also safer. Hygiene is a very important issue at present, so new solutions are appearing on the market all the time, which make it possible to maintain hygiene and promote healthy behaviour in society.
Disinfection in public spaces
While hand disinfection stations of various types are very common in buildings and indoor facilities, such solutions are lacking in public spaces. Occasionally, dispensers of various kinds appear, but they often lack disinfectant, but above all, they are not touch-free stations, which is so important in the current reality.
Hand washing station
With these problems in mind, an American manufacturer of sprinklers and drinking water stations developed new devices that would not only provide unlimited access to drinking water for all who were thirsty, but also provide a convenient station where everyone could wash their hands while maintaining the highest level of hygiene. This is how, among other things, the Wash-N-Go!which combines several functions: a spring for direct consumption of water, a dispenser for filling bottles, a station for contactless hand washing and can also be equipped with a pet watering station. The design is vandal-proof and ensures comfortable and safe use.
Environmental impact
These types of solutions are perfect for parks, playgrounds, cycle paths or promenades. They are a very useful architectural element, not only reducing the amount of plastic waste entering the environment (ecological effect), but also teaching the public about healthy and useful behaviour (educational effect).
As far as the environmental aspect is concerned, drinking water spigots have long been a significant part of it. Installed in public spaces, they encourage people to give up drinking water from plastic bottles in favour of glass or reusable bottles, as they allow them to be conveniently filled with clean and fresh water straight from the mains. They teach pro-environmental habits (we drink tap water, not bottled water). These are highly functional elements desirable in urban space, increasingly appearing in civic budget projects. For this reason, they are also of interest to city managers and local government officials.
Nowadays, when investing in a new park, sports centre or playground, this type of solution is taken into account. It is not uncommon for the installation of a sprinkler or drinking water station to be one of the requirements for investors and contractors. Therefore, this type of equipment appears in projects for a reason, but it is important to remember to go for the best and proven solutions. Which is to say? That is, fault-free, vandal-proof units whose design makes it impossible to interfere with their internal components or dismantle parts. They should be low-maintenance, weatherproof and wear-resistant - in short, they should last for years.
Water sprinklers and water stations are already quite popular in our country and now comes a new one. Now we are betting on another aspect, i.e. on sprinklers combined with the additional function of a hand-washing station. This is what the Wash-N-Go series provides! Thought through to the smallest detail in order to respond to current requirements and realities.
