Europe’s first contactless bottle filling stations are being
rolled out in the Fingal area by a local company Ecofil for Fingal County
Council.
The new bottle filling stations provide contactless, clean and
safe water without the risk of touching high-use buttons that could increase
the spread of infection. Users can simply place a water bottle into the holder
and the sensors will pick up on movement and activate the machine. To further
reduce the potential spread of pathogens, the ‘no touch’ design prevents the
bottle rim from coming into contact with the nozzle.
