Emergency Tank Showers Specified for Major Water Utility Companies

Personnel within the water utilities industry are often exposed to remote and demanding environments due to the dangerous chemicals, such as sulphites and chloride, used in water treatment. To protect the safety of the workforce International and European standards state that emergency safety equipment should be installed within 10 seconds’ reach and on the same level as a potential hazard. However, due to the remote nature of water treatment sites the provision of emergency safety showers able to deliver tepid water can be challenging.

The 1500L Emergency Tank Shower from Hughes is the perfect solution. Designed to meet and exceed ANSI standards, this immersion heated 1500 litre emergency tank shower provides tepid water for over 15 minutes at a guaranteed flow of 76 litres per minute, even when there is no mains water supply.

• Integral immersion heater, controlled by a dual thermostat, ensuring the provision of tepid water
• Low pressure shower rose delivers large quantities of water in an even pattern that is noninjurous to the user
• Thermal insulation assists in maintaining the water at a tepid temperature in all climates
• Instant activation by panic bar or optional foot panel

Major water utilities companies across the UK - including Thames Water, Scottish Water, United Utilities and Welsh Water - specify emergency tank showers from Hughes for their site and it’s not difficult to see why:
