The PURELL ES8 Dispensing System is a modern and reliable hand hygiene solution designed for various environments, particularly healthcare settings. Built on over 70 years of dispensing innovation, this system offers both durability and aesthetic appeal, making it easy for users to recognize a commitment to cleanliness and well-being. The system includes both hand sanitizer and healthy soap dispensers, catering to comprehensive hand hygiene needs.

Function Description

The primary function of the PURELL ES8 Dispensing System is to provide convenient, touch-free access to PURELL hand sanitizer and healthy soap. The dispensers are designed to be always ready for use, ensuring a consistent and reliable user experience. The touch-free operation minimizes contact with the dispenser, enhancing hygiene and reducing the spread of germs. When a user places their palm approximately 2 inches below the dispenser, the product is dispensed within 1 second of sensor activation, providing quick and efficient hand hygiene. The system utilizes SANITARY SEALED™ refills, which are engineered to reduce the potential for contamination, ensuring that the product remains hygienic from the factory to the user's hands. The refills are also designed to refresh the look of the dispenser with each change, maintaining a clean and updated appearance. The distinct PURELL brand design ensures that the dispensers fit seamlessly into various environments while clearly communicating the quality and reliability of the PURELL brand.

Usage Features

The PURELL ES8 Dispensing System incorporates several user-friendly features that enhance its overall usability and convenience. One key feature is the "Energy on the refill" design, which means the power source for the touch-free operation is integrated into each new refill. This eliminates the need for separate battery changes in the dispenser itself, simplifying maintenance and ensuring the dispenser is always powered and ready. The AT-A-GLANCE™ refill design is another significant feature, making it easy for users and maintenance staff to visually assess when refills need to be changed. This transparent design allows for quick checks, preventing unexpected outages of hand hygiene products. The system also offers LOCK OR NOT™ Technology, providing flexibility in how the dispenser is secured. Users can convert the system to a locking mechanism if desired, which can be particularly useful in public areas to prevent tampering or theft. Conversely, it can be left unlocked for easier access during maintenance. The dispenser is fully ADA compliant, ensuring accessibility for all users, including those with disabilities. The intuitive refill replenishment process involves simply pressing release buttons on the sides, sliding the front cover down, removing the empty refill, and inserting a new one until it clicks. The green status light blinks after closing, indicating that the dispenser is ready for use.

Maintenance Features

Maintenance of the PURELL ES8 Dispensing System is designed to be straightforward and efficient. The "Energy on the refill" concept simplifies power management, as each new refill brings its own power source, eliminating the need for separate battery maintenance. The AT-A-GLANCE™ refill design aids in proactive maintenance by allowing easy visual checks of product levels. When a refill is empty, it can be easily removed and replaced. The refills themselves are recyclable, supporting environmental sustainability efforts. For disposal, the energy source (a non-rechargeable lithium metal coin cell battery) can be separated from the collar by snapping down, and both the battery and the PET bottle can be disposed of or recycled in accordance with federal, state, and local regulations.

Cleaning the dispenser is also made easy with specific guidelines. It is crucial to always remove the refill before cleaning to prevent accidental actuation of soap. Dispensers should be routinely wiped with a soft, moist cloth. Special attention should be paid to cleaning under the dispenser or push bar, as product may build up in these areas. It is important to note that abrasive cleaners or chemical solvents should not be used, as they can scratch the plastic and labeling or dull the plastic finish. Instead, hospital-approved disinfectants and other typical cleaning solutions are acceptable, ensuring the dispenser remains hygienic without damage. The dispenser indicator light provides clear visual cues for maintenance needs: a blinking green light indicates the dispenser is ready, a blinking red light signals a refill issue (no refill, wrong refill, or non-functioning refill), and a solid red light indicates an issue with the dispenser or refill energy, prompting contact with GOJO Customer Service. The LOCK OR NOT™ Technology also facilitates maintenance by allowing the dispenser to be locked or unlocked as needed, providing security while still allowing for easy access for servicing.
