The modern battle against bacteria sees our hospitals, aged care and disabled facilities pitched against some vigorous yet unseen adversaries.
The World Health Organisation estimates almost 2 million people die each year as a result of diarrheal illness. Almost 90% of disease results from water contaminated by bacteria, as a result of poor water system hygiene and sanitation.
Water-borne bacteria such as Salmonella, E-Coli, Cryptosporidium, Legionella and Giardia are some of the potential infections healthcare providers contend with daily. All can become silent killers when introduced to healthcare environments.
Healthcare facilities have a unique set of needs. Limited space, access flexibility, safety and disability factors are equally important as are high levels of hygiene that prevent the spread of harmful bacteria.
This is why Billi water systems and appliances are ideal for healthcare environments. From the hands free Kwikwash sensor tap to the fully optioned Quadra Plus, healthcare providers are now better equipped in the hygiene race, because Billi water systems offer:
- Advanced undersink filtration, including filters that eliminate Cryptosporidium and Giardia;
- Hot water stored at temperatures which destroy harmful bacteria like Legionella;
- A splash-free water dispenser and font to reduce water residue that harbours bacteria;
- Fingertip dispenser control and touch-free sensor taps for minimal hardware handling.
Award winning Billi water systems also make the most of available space. Owning the smallest footprint in the market Billi simply slots in undersink.
Proudly meeting Australian Standards for disability access and safety, Billi offers the adaptability healthcare providers seek. The cool touch insulated dispenser can be positioned remotely from its undersink filter unit and can swivel in each direction to fill receptacles where it is most hygenic and safe.
In short, Billi offers healthcare providers the best alternative for a reliably clean water supply with the lowest bacterial risk. And that’s how we’re helping healthcare win the hygiene race.
