The Process
With such an enormous number of visitors attending Intu sites, the priority for this project was to identify a bottle filler that could safely and efficiently withstand a high degree of use while requiring minimal maintenance, to avoid interruption of service. MIW only works with WRAS (Water Regulations Advisory Scheme) approved products, so ensuring compliance with the requisite guidelines was relatively easy. Taking all other requirements into consideration, MIW selected the Branded Eco-Dispenser Max UV Superchill as the best model for this project.
The Eco-Dispenser was specifically designed for high footfall public spaces. The stainless-steel body, security screwed cabinet and sloping exterior not only make the unit vandal resistant, but help to prevent it from becoming the target of suspect packages. The sensor operation means that there are no easily damageable external moving parts. This feature also makes it incredibly easy to use; the automatic cut-off avoiding accidental overflow for users with their hands full, taking care of children, using a walking stick, or manoeuvring a wheelchair. And to answer Intu’s concerns about ongoing hygiene, the unit possesses a cutting-edge inbuilt UV sterilisation system. Designed to kill 99.99% of bacteria and viruses in water including, Legionella, without tainting the taste or smell of the water, this is one of the most advanced systems available.
Once the unit had been identified, MIW worked closely with the Intu Project Management Team to customise the bottle filler with the company’s unique branding and messaging prior to installation.
