How Toilet Tech Can Help Facility Managers

For those serious about smooth business operations and looking at long-term longevity, the washroom might not be something you take for granted. Investing in technology in the wash space can not only make the day to day running and cleaning of your site more efficient but bring financial savings by way of waste, water and electricity services.

Factor in this efficiency across multiple sites, and the decision to bring your washrooms into the 21st century becomes an attractive proposition. So where do we start?

Sensor operation wherever possible

While sensor-activated taps, hand dryers and lighting improve the user experience, they each bring with them a wealth of economic savings. Sensor taps emit water for a set period of time, meaning you can reduce your annual water consumption, but with the tap never needing to be physically touched, they're also less likely to suffer from wear and tear.

Sensor activation can also significantly improve hygiene in your workplace as users never need to touch the taps, light switches and hand dryers, reducing the spread of bacteria. This can have a very positive impact on employee personal hygiene too, and help prevent sickness from spreading across the workforce.  

Dolphin Alavo system

This incredibly sophisticated system simplifies the handwashing areas from a maintenance and installation point of view and benefits from one of the easiest to clean designs on the market. Sensor operated soap and water is accessed from each mirrored cabinet that is sited above a washbasin or wash trough.

The connecting cabinets can all be fed from a single water and mains electric outlet, with cabinets interconnecting services smoothly. Hand soap is also refilled in one easy to access the reservoir. The Alavo system offers an incredibly modern and contemporary feel to your washrooms and delivers the aforementioned economy by way of sensor operation. 

Handheld Smart Tech

For managing multiple sites or washrooms, you can employ technology to simply change and fine-tune physical settings, or run reports at the touch of a button. A handheld programmer allows site managers to quickly evaluate water consumption and access data in real-time. By adjusting things like the run-on time, range and purge from a handheld device, you can be sure that operations are running to your commands across multiple venues, without the need to get out the tools and remove housings, cladding and boxings.
