CleanTech® ELF Automated Handwashing Stations Installed by Neshannock Township School District
Neshannock Township School District worked very closely with Meritech on the product selection, placement, and quantity to ensure the schools could meet their hygiene goals. The station selected to best meet their needs is the CleanTech® ELF. The ELF is one of the best options for schools due to its competitive price point, size and kid friendly design.
When deciding system placement, Meritech emphasized high traffic areas like bathrooms, cafeterias, and gymnasiums. The ELF's design allows for easy replacement of water fountains which enabled Neshannock to increase their total number of handwashing stations. By the end of the project Neshannock more than doubled their number of handwashing stations.
