Fully reticulated system pays off for Southern Health

julian whittaker — Thu, 14 Oct 2010 22:34:48 +0000

In late 2009 a fully reticulated system was been commissioned at the Kingston Centre CPK. 12 months later Food Services and CPK Manager Imran Hanif says “ …eWater has been really effective in reducing our chemical expense. Its proven to work, easy to use and convenient……would recommend it to anyone”

The ROX15 system was specified following the success of e-Water at the Department of Health’s Austin CPK in Melbourne which was commissioned in July 2008. The Kingston facility has 12 eWater outlets distributed throughout the site for applications including hand washing, cleaning and sanitising equipment, boards and benches, for pot soaking and for hose downs.

In addition to the product effectiveness Imran says “.. in praise of eWater Systems …the company has been very professional and easy to deal with”

What about the payback ?

cost_benefit_sheetCase Studies highlight under 3 year payback.

Calculations from 2 different sites, one a kitchen for a wall hung ROX 10 unit and the other an Aged Care home with a ROX 20 20 litre tanked system.

They highlight the cost economics of eWater with payback of well under 3 years. (All without other advantages such as space savings, time saving and safety taken into account).

Its all well and good having environmental advantages and being safer to use but what about the cost? Understandably we’re always being asked this question. Working with a variety of clients the answer is that most eWater installations will pay back in under 3 years.
We’ve attached examples of payback calculations from two sites one with a wall hung unit, the other 200 litre reticulated system. Both indicate payback periods of well under 3 years when compared to packaged chemicals and that’s without other advantages such as environmental, space savings, time savings and greater employee safety being taken into account.

Shannon Bennett’s new Vue with eWater

Phil — Mon, 04 Oct 2010 22:46:20 +0000

Early 2011, Shannon Bennett will open his new flagship Vue De Monde on the 55th floor of Melbourne’s Rialto Tower. Reflecting his belief that all businesses have a responsibility to be sustainable, the new restaurant has embraced e- Water with a fully reticulated water system. But it also about the money. Richard Cornish, writing in The Age Epicure on October 4th “.. With age and fatherhood Bennett has gained wisdom. He wants to not only be carbon neutral but chemical-free. Bennett is not a “greenwasher”. He has a deep-felt belief that all businesses have a responsibility to be sustainable. He has three children. “That’s a legacy that surpasses any restaurant success,” Bennett says. “But I am not a greenie. It just makes good sense on every level” Bennett also plans to knock $70,000 off his annual cleaning chemical bill by adopting green cleaning technology sold in Australia as eWater. This is “electrolysis technology” that splits a solution of salt dissolved in tap water into an acidic sanitiser and alkaline cleaner” One thing is for sure. The new Vue will be one of the most alluring and exciting dining experiences Melbournians have experienced.

Chemical cleaners linked to cancer – there is a better way

Latest research from the US links chemical cleaners to breast cancer. Read the full story here.

Not good news for those involved in cleaning in sanitising duties.

There is good news however, there’s a chemical free alternative. E Water’s ROX sanitising solution is not only as a proven antimicrobial, it is a highly effective deodoriser.

Infection control tests the waters for hand wash

Phil — Sat, 10 Jul 2010 10:19:25 +0000

New evidence shows water alone can be a powerful tool for infection control. A research study from Nagasaki University proves that electrolysed water, like provided by eWater Systems, is a powerful antimicrobial sanitiser.

The strong acidic and colourless solution is prepared by mixing a small amount of salt with tap water in an electrolyser.

This study demonstrated that electrolysed tap water was effective in infection control, being able to wipe out more than seven strains of bacteria including methicillin-sensitive Staphylococcus Aureus, Epermidis and Escheria Coli after only 10 seconds of immersion.

The antibacterial effect of eWater was shown to be similar to that of 80% ethanol, but unlike alcohol-based disinfectant, this infection control solution isn’t toxic, flammable or volatile. Nor does it dry skin and create related problems associated with alternatives including alcohol based sanitisers.

Foodservice and hospitals now have a new highly effective and cost efficient way to fight germs that doesn’t involve expensive or dangerous chemicals. And with e-Water Systems the alternative is not only more people friendly, you have a far better environmental alternative.
