After the holidays, remember to sanitise school springs
After the summer holidays or an extended break, when schools fill up with students again, one essential element that is often forgotten is water springs and dispensers. Although they are used without much thought on a daily basis, the quality of the water that comes out of them is crucial for the health of pupils and school staff. To ensure that it is of an adequate standard, it is necessary to sanitise, clean and regulate these devices after a prolonged break.
Why is this so important?
During the summer holidays, when schools remain closed and water systems are unused, contaminants can build up in pipes and reservoirs. The lack of regular water flow encourages the growth of bacteria, including dangerous microorganisms like Legionellawhich can endanger the health of users. In addition, improperly maintained equipment can affect the quality of the water, altering its taste, odour and clarity.
Sanitisation process - the key to safety
Sanitisation of water dispensers and springs is crucial to ensure that the water supplied meets all sanitary and quality standards. It includes thorough cleaning of all equipment components, disinfection of surfaces in contact with the water and removal of sediment and biofilm that could promote bacterial growth.
An important step is also checking the filters. Filters that have been inactive for a long time can lose their properties and become a source of contamination. Replacing or cleaning filters is therefore essential to ensure clean and healthy drinking water.
Adjustment and servicing of equipment
It is often forgotten that after a prolonged break, equipment such as water springs or water dispensers may need adjusting. Regular servicing not only maintains the quality of the water, but also extends the life of the equipment. This includes, among other things, checking water pressure, seals and checking that all mechanisms are working properly.
Benefits of clean water
Healthy and safe water is a fundamental right for every pupil and school staff member. Regular cleaning and sanitising of dispensers avoids health risks, improves user comfort and ensures that children drink water of the highest quality. It is therefore worth enlisting the help of professionals such as our service technicians and having your water dispensers professionally cleaned and sanitised once a year.
