Are you prepared? 

As storms become more intense and cause prolonged power outages, it’s essential to ensure that storm shelters and evacuation centers have access to fresh drinking water. Electricity and water usually don’t go together, but what if you need electricity to get a drink from the nearest electric, solenoid-activated water cooler or electronic bottle filler?

During power outages, individuals can find themselves in this situation, and access to clean drinking water becomes critical. OASIS offers various bottle-filling stations and drinking fountains with mechanical activation, ensuring users can fill their bottles and stay hydrated, even during a power outage.

Don’t rely on individual single-use plastic; this can lead to shortages and logistical challenges in delivering supplies to the affected areas.

Accessible Drinking Water Ensuring access to clean drinking water is essential for maintaining public health after a disaster.  It can take weeks to restore power after a storm – it took FEMA 5 DAYS to get water to the Superdome during Hurricane Katrina. For 5 pallets containing 10,000 16.9 oz water botles, priced at $0.20 per bottle, the total cost would be $2,000. There were 14 named hurricanes in 2023 – the most in a season since 1950 NOAA is predicting increased named storms for 2024, and hurricanes continue to get stronger as ocean temperatures rise

Ensuring Access to Clean Water

Mechanically activated bottle fillers and water fountains can include filtration systems, such as the VersaFilter III, certified to NSF/ANSI 42 and 53 for lead, cysts, Particulate Class I, chlorine, taste, and odor reduction – providing a reliable source of clean drinking water.

Top Mechanically Activated Models: 

Mechanical Bottle Filling Stations

These bottle fillers function without electricity, providing dependable access to drinking water even during outages or service interruptions.

Mechanical Drinking Fountains

With fewer electronic components, mechanically activated systems are generally more affordable to install and maintain, reducing long-term operational costs.

Vandal Resistant Fountains and Bottle Fillers

Constructed with robust materials, these units are built to withstand heavy usage and resist vandalism, without the need for electricity!

 

OASIS drinking fountains and mechanically activated bottle fillers provide access to fresh drinking water through a mechanical cartridge, even when power is lost, ensuring a sustainable and continuous water supply. OASIS keeps water flowing with the touch of a button, providing water where and when you need it.
