Every time we turn on the faucet to wash our hands, it's key to make sure we're saving as much water as possible. However, during the pandemic, we've also learned how important it is to wash your hands for a full 20 seconds. So how do you balance saving water with effective pathogen removal? That's where CleanTech® automating handwashing stations come in.
Whew! That's a lot of water just flowing down the drain during just one hand wash!
With automated handwashing stations, handwashing time is cut in half, and CleanTech® uses only 0.6 gallons of water during each hand hygiene event. Plus, during an automated hand wash, every drop of water is used to ensure proper pathogen removal. No water is wasted just going down the drain.

How much water can you save with CleanTech®? Well that depends on what type of hand hygiene method you're currently using, how many people are washing their hands each shift, and how many times per day each shift is washing their hands. However, we've had customers see significant water savings already. Take Kern Meat Company for example. They recently won the 2021 Food Quality & Safety award in the small business category and talked about the water savings they've seen with CleanTech® during their interview:
"Kern Meat Company also invested in two handwashing stations for its processing room that Dr. Sherman says delivers a safer and cleaner handwashing solution than traditional soap and water. The stations achieved the same efficacy in 12 seconds as handwashing reached in 20 seconds. The handwashing stations also provided some energy savings. At the former plant, which was five times smaller than the new one, the company consumed about 400 gallons of water per day for employee handwashing; the new stations cut that in half."
