be from the air or any other liquid
being poured in - can contaminate
that reservoir. "
She said studies looking at bulk
soap dispensers have found that 25
percent of them had enough bacteria
that the soap, and what was in it, made
people's hands dirtier than before they
washed their hands. " Which is really
gross and I hate having to tell people
that, but that's why it's so important
to have a closed soap system, " she said.
When a soap bottle is empty, a new
bottle is used. Sloan partners with
Gojo to offer refill bottles designed
for Sloan.
For the faucet, Kish said most of the
airport customers have opted for the
BASYS-style, which has access from
the top. " The crown of the faucet can
slide off, and that's how you can turn
the water off, you can access all of the
repairable items - anything you need
for basic troubleshooting, " she said.
The AER-DEC Integrated Sink
comes with a deck-mounted BASYSstyle
hand dryer that has a HEPA
filter to clean the air coming out of
the dryer.
Designed with the sink, Kish said
Among the latest in closed soap dispensers
is the ESD-360 Top-fill Soap Dispenser.
It includes a top cover that slides open
via a tamper-resistant unlocking feature.
Once open, the soap refill bottle can be
inserted into the spout. Until the dispenser
recognizes the refill is an approved refill, it
will not open or allow filling.

these hand dryers give the best experience.
" One of the keys is that you
don't get the blowback. When you're
drying your hands, you're not going
to get a bunch of air and whatnot
blowing back at you. We have a patent
on the AER-DEC sink design that has
a little inlet. Basically, if you were to
be facing the sink and you reached in,
it would be right in front of you, lined
up with the dryer that redirects the air
down, rather than back up at the user.
" So you don't have to worry about
ending up with hands dirtier than
when you started. You know that
handwash process is going to be really
clean and that you're going to end up
in a healthier spot. " 
