Why staying matters for students and your teaching staff
Staying hydrated is an essential part of staying healthy and productive – especially in a school or university setting where focus and energy are key.
Unfortunately, many traditional water fountains may no longer be providing safe drinking water due to their outdated designs that can easily become breeding grounds for bacteria.
Modern-day water dispensers provide an easy and hygienic way to ensure students stay energised with safe drinking water that’s easily accessible throughout the school.

How can contactless water dispensers prevent bacterial contamination in schools?
Safety is paramount in any educational environment. Thankfully, contactless water dispensers can help reduce bacterial contamination and the spread of germs by allowing students and staff to dispense water without ever having to touch the device.
Contactless mains fed water coolers use infrared sensors that detect movement and automatically fill up any container placed beneath it – eliminating the need to touch the tap or push a button. This takes health and safety to new levels, ensuring that everyone in your school or university can access clean drinking water without worrying about bacteria or germs on their hands.
Mains DispenserThe Elite UVC Mains Water Dispenser is specially designed with an innovative UVC LED filtration system that sanitises the water and eliminates any bacterial contaminants. This highly effective technology ensures your drinking water stays clean, safe, and free from potential contamination.
