Water saving devices for workplaces and public spaces

Water saving devices in workplaces and public spaces are crucial for reducing consumption, limiting the risk of waste and also making vending machines sustainable, especially since they are particularly common in these environments.

Offices, stores, and public buildings may have days of inactivity, when they remain completely unattended. At such times anything can happen: a leaking tap, a worn pipe that suddenly breaks. In such situations, the risk of damage to the premises and consequent waste of water are possible.

As anticipated, vending machines also play a preponderant role in water consumption.

We must take into account the fact that, according to Confida data, there are more than 826,000 vending machines in Italy alone, followed by a rather large amount in France and Germany.

We are talking in total about almost 5 billion dispensations in 2020-2021: values that, due to the closure of many facilities during the period of the Covid-19 pandemic, have remained lower than average.

The environmental impact of it prompts us to reconsider many of our habits and take useful steps to limit water consumption without sacrifice. Appropriate water-saving devices in workplaces and public places are a step with an important ecological footprint.

Although reducing electrical consumption is relatively simple, limiting water consumption is much more complicated, particularly with regard to coffee, beverage and ice vending machines. But the importance of not wasting such a precious resource and containing its costs drives us toward innovative solutions.

Building automation helps with water-saving devices that are useful in both domestic and public spaces. We are talking about the WATERBLOCK system from ELTEK Appliance, which can:

• reduce the risk of damage to buildings;
• contain waste;
• limit consumption.

This intelligent water-saving device detects anomalies in the water supply and blocks the water flow before excessive consumption occurs.

There are many needs around water and beverage vending machines.

Damages from:

• flooding;
• water waste;
• over-consumption

are frequent in all public and work spaces where water and beverage vending machines are located. A weekend of inactivity can be a high risk for the environments involved. Just one damaged pipe can compromise internal safety. Water and beverage machines are connected to the water mains and a simple failure can cause flooding with associated damage to floors and structural work.

The speed with which any faults in the water flow are detected is crucial to avoid waste and damage. Obviously, the direct consequence of using water-saving devices is economic and ecological.

The use of WATERBLOCK or E-WATERBLOCK is again an optimal solution for saving water in public buildings, offices, companies and commercial premises.

E-WATERBLOCK requires no electricity, is installed upstream of the water connection and only intervenes if the volumes exceed the set value. The device is maintenance-free and ensures a long service life.

The control of water and beverage dispensers accessible via the ELTEK APP allows you to receive immediate notifications and alerts in the event of faults.

Ice vending machines present the same problems, exposing premises to economic and ecological risks.

Again, the use of water-saving tools, such as those offered by ELTEK Appliance, allow dispensers to be managed with a good degree of security. The monitoring of possible faults and leaks is facilitated by the blocking system, which stops the flow before consumption becomes excessive or there is damage to the premises.

Thanks to building automation and in particular ELTEK devices, it is possible to prevent or stem water losses and implement a savings policy perfectly in line with the needs of our time, without compromise.
