We now live in a contactless world because of COVID-19 where safety and hygiene are of paramount importance in the workplace, as well as at home. We know that coronavirus can spread from contaminated surfaces such as door handles and worktops; lift buttons and phones, so frequently cleaning these high-touch surfaces can help control infection. The office water cooler is no exception with its shared surface so consider hands free hydration. So, a good choice in these challenging, infection-control times sees the Waterlogic hands-free ranges deliver a completelyhands-free operation that makes refilling your drinks bottles reassuringly safe and efficient, preventing the spread of germs with automatic sensor refill operation.
