At Trademark Plumbing & Heating, we’re proud to support local communities by providing reliable plumbing solutions that improve access to clean water. Recently, we completed the installation of a new bottle filler station for the Town of Medway, a project designed to offer residents and visitors a convenient, eco-friendly way to stay hydrated.
In this blog post, we’ll discuss the benefits of installing a bottle filler, the steps we took during the installation process, and how this project contributes to the town’s sustainability goals.
Why the Town of Medway Chose to Install a Bottle Filler
As more communities adopt environmentally conscious practices, bottle fillers have become a popular addition to public spaces. The Town of Medway recognized the benefits of installing a bottle filler station, including:
- Reducing Single-Use Plastics: Single-use plastic water bottles are a major source of waste. By offering an easy way for people to refill reusable bottles, the town helps reduce plastic consumption and encourages sustainable habits.
- Convenient Access to Clean Water: A bottle filler provides residents, visitors, and local workers with a convenient source of clean, filtered water. Whether people are enjoying a day at the park, working nearby, or just passing through, they can quickly refill their bottles and stay hydrated.
- Encouraging Health and Wellness: Ready access to fresh water encourages people to drink more throughout the day, promoting health and wellness for everyone in the community.
The Benefits of Installing a Bottle Filler
Installing a bottle filler station offers several advantages, both for the Town of Medway and the public spaces where it’s placed:
1. Environmental Impact
The shift away from single-use plastic bottles is a crucial step toward reducing the town’s overall waste footprint. Each refill station prevents hundreds of plastic bottles from ending up in landfills or polluting local environments.
2. Cost Savings for Residents
By providing a public source of clean water, residents can avoid the need to purchase bottled water, saving money over time. This is especially beneficial in areas where people spend extended periods, such as parks, sports fields, and municipal buildings.
3. Clean, Filtered Water
The bottle filler we installed for Medway comes equipped with a built-in filtration system, ensuring that every refill delivers clean, great-tasting water. This filtration removes contaminants and impurities, offering peace of mind that the water is both safe and refreshing.
4. Touchless and Hygienic Design
Modern bottle fillers are designed with touchless technology, reducing the spread of germs and ensuring a hygienic experience. Users can simply place their bottle under the sensor, and water is dispensed automatically—perfect for high-traffic areas.
5. Tracking Usage
Many bottle fillers are equipped with digital displays that track how many plastic bottles have been “saved” by using the station. This feature helps create awareness of the positive environmental impact the station is having and reinforces the importance of choosing reusable bottles.
Our Bottle Filler Installation Process for Medway
Here’s how we approached the installation of the bottle filler for the Town of Medway:
1. Site Evaluation
Before installation, our team met with town representatives to evaluate the ideal location for the bottle filler. The station was placed in a highly accessible area with heavy foot traffic to ensure maximum benefit to the community.
2. Plumbing and Infrastructure Planning
Once the location was selected, we assessed the existing water infrastructure to determine the best way to connect the bottle filler to the town’s water supply. This included evaluating water pressure, ensuring proper drainage, and making any necessary adjustments to accommodate the new system.
3. Installation of the Bottle Filler
Our experienced team installed the bottle filler, carefully connecting it to the water lines and securing it to the site. We ensured the unit was level, properly mounted, and firmly in place to withstand regular use in a public area.
4. Testing and Calibration
After installation, we tested the system to ensure everything was functioning correctly. We checked water flow, pressure, filtration, and the touchless activation feature to guarantee a smooth user experience. We also inspected the filtration system to ensure it met high standards for water quality.
5. Community Access
Once the bottle filler was fully operational, it was officially opened for public use. The town promoted the new feature as part of its broader sustainability efforts, encouraging residents and visitors to take advantage of this eco-friendly hydration option.
Supporting Medway’s Sustainability Goals
The installation of the new bottle filler aligns with Medway’s ongoing efforts to promote sustainability and reduce environmental impact. By providing convenient access to clean drinking water in public spaces, the town is helping to reduce reliance on single-use plastics and foster a more environmentally conscious community.
Additionally, bottle fillers promote long-term health by making it easy for residents and visitors to stay hydrated without purchasing bottled water, which often contains harmful plastics and chemicals.
