Ready-to-Install RO Systems with Touchless, Hygienic Dispensing

With clean water becoming a significant issue to public facilities worldwide, ensuring a pure and efficient supply of water is an obligation as well as an operational requirement. Conventional reverse osmosis units arrive in multiple components requiring hours of assembly, testing, and troubleshooting. Dispensers often utilize buttons and levers which can be contaminated throughout the day. For over 10 years Aquatal has dedicated efforts to fulfilling the growing demands for better quality, and cleaner water by designing integrated systems for ease of installation and highest standards of hygiene:

Factory-assembled and leak-tested units enable fast, error-free installation

Many headaches that are associated with the installation of commercial reverse osmosis systems are related to disconnect between what is delivered to your loading dock and what is needed in order to produce the water. Commercial systems are delivered in many parts that will require on-site assembly by skilled technicians. Every connection is a potential source of leaks and every wrongly torqued fitting translates into hours of troubleshooting.

Our approach to the installation of RO systems offers a higher degree of assurance. Every single unit leaves our factory already fully assembled on a stainless steel frame. All interior plumbing, membrane housings, pumps, valves and controls have been fully installed, and tested, prior to packing. Each RO system will also have had an actual run, at working pressure, to check seals and fittings are leak-proof before it is crated. At site, just put in position, connect the water supply and drain lines, and plug in. No hunting for parts, no worrying about whether or not fittings were correctly torqued, no searching for leaks, all of which can be very trying, particularly for facilities with limited maintenance staff, tight timelines and lack of trained maintenance people-what normally would have taken all day, and the morning job is done.

NSF-certified touchless dispensers feature antimicrobial surfaces for high hygiene

While water quality can be addressed, maintaining safe conditions at the point of dispense is equally important. Push buttons and levers on conventional dispensers are often touched by hundreds or thousands of individuals between disinfections. Bacteria, viruses, and other harmful substances can be spread through each touch from one person to another. Unacceptable in a medical facility and undesirable in schools or food-service facilities, cross-contamination is a serious concern.

Our systems feature fully NSF-certified touchless dispensers with infrared and capacitive sensors which trigger a flow when the dispenser recognizes the presence of hands or a cup. Once dispensed, the flow is automatically stopped without need for manual interaction. Eliminating direct contact not only reduces pathogen transfer but also keeps surfaces smooth and crevice free. The dispenser material is tested and certified to NSF/ANSI 61 standards, making it easy to clean and sanitize between uses. Furthermore, its integrated antimicrobial materials inhibit the growth of bacteria throughout the day, even when direct human interaction cannot be avoided as this material actively kills and stops the proliferation of bacteria even in the times between services. Both schools and medical facilities would benefit greatly from the added safety of the antimicrobial dispenser.

Auto-flush cycles and filter alerts maintain water quality during intermittent use

Commercial RO units present a unique challenge that many residential units do not: they can remain idle from hours to days at a time. Schools are not in use during summer break, and churches typically see almost no water usage mid-week. Seasonal businesses close their doors for months at a time each year, resulting in static water within the RO unit, bacteria growth, increased mineral scaling and poor membrane performance. Our units are configured to initiate an automatic flush cycle at configurable intervals.

An automatic flush occurs at user defined intervals if no water has been produced. It briefly sends feed water through the RO unit, preventing build-up of minerals and stagnant water, while ensuring the highest quality of water can be produced upon demand. Supplementing this is a filter alert which ensures that the water continues to be high-quality. Most malfunctions occur simply because no one realizes that a filter has served its purpose. Our units track the volume of water processed in each filter and signal that it is time to change filters either audibly, visually or through facility management software. In seasonal operations usage-based alerts are even more important. While a 6 month filter could be exhausted during that time, it can also be in use for over 2 years at a summer cottage.

For commercial users requiring the highest quality RO water and the highest level of hygiene, our integrated ready-to-install RO systems meet every requirement: factory assembled for fast installation, NSF certified touchless dispensers with antimicrobial surfaces for safety, and autoflush cycles with filter alerts to ensure year-round performance. Our partnership offers leading technology, unwavering quality, customized solutions, increased efficiency, expert support, and global opportunity.
