The Fendall Pure Flow 1000 Primary Emergency Eye Wash Station uses a 3.5 gallon (13.2 L) cartridge to deliver 15 minutes of uninterrupted flushing, with a fluid flow rate of 0.4 gpm (1.5 L) to meet current ANSI standards. The saline eye wash solution is purified and pH-balanced, which is superior to tap water which may contain harmful bacteria or contaminants. Operation is fast and easy for emergency situations as the sure-grip handle provides instant, simple activation. The unique nozzle design delivers a soft , gravity-fed ?ribbon? of saline eye wash, leaving hands free to hold eyelids open. The nozzles cover a wide area around the eyes for effective removal of chemicals and particles. Since no plumbing is required, this eye wash station can be located near most workplace hazards. This allows your workplace to meet ANSI regulations which require an emergency eye wash station to be accessible within a 10-second walk of any hazard. Placement is easy as the unit can be mounted to a wall with a single bracket or made fully mobile when paired with a universal cart or stand. The Fendall Pure Flow 1000 is also extremely cost-effective: the 24-month cartridge life (from date of manufacture) is at least four times longer than other primary self-contained eye wash device, which saves time and money on replacements and inspections. The cartridge is also RFID-Enabled to simplify inspection, maintenance and inventory control, which helps support and strengthen workplace safety programs. Maintenance is easy as the factory-sealed fluid cartridges eliminate the need to mix & measure, and the opportunity for airborne particles or microorganisms to contaminate the fluid prior to use. The Fendall Pure Flow 1000 also captures waste fluid to eliminate spill hazards and simplify fluid disposal, and the integral valve at bottom allows easy draining of reservoir after use.
