Cleaning and reducing the spread of germs in the workplace is not a simple task. Quench is helping to make the job easier by providing you with a number of touchless water dispensers to give your staff and your customers peace of mind while remaining hydrated and healthy at work.
In July 2020, the CDC released a guide for cleaning and disinfecting the workplace. These new sanitation and health standards may be influencing the current office trends we’re seeing. According to a Quench survey, our customers’ top two priorities when purchasing a bottleless water cooler are filtration and sanitation. Touchless is now third on that list of priorities, with more than 60% of Quench customers demanding hands-free machines.
Interestingly, Quench Water Experts have found that ‘touchless’ means different things to different people. Quench engineers have been working round-the-clock to develop a breadth of hands-free water dispensers to ensure your workplace has the right technology at (but not touching!) your fingertips.
Benefits of Touchless Water Dispensers
A Quench bottle-free touchless water cooler provides reliable, cost-effective, and eco-friendly drinking water right from your building’s water source, eliminating the need for water delivery. No more escorting delivery people in and out of your building; no more having to keep track of cleaning schedules for water jugs; no more looking for storage space in newly configured office spaces where space is at a premium to ensure safe social distancing. Touch-free options give businesses the flexibility to adhere to new protocols.
Plus, Quench point-of-use water coolers add an extra layer of protection against harmful bacteria through built-in features like UV sanitization. We also offer a full suite of advanced water purification technologies to improve the taste and quality of municipal infrastructure leading to your workplace’s tap. That means your employees and guests can dispense with ease knowing they are hydrating with top-of-the-line sanitary bottleless water dispensers.

How to Make the Switch to a Touchless Water Dispenser
The process of switching from a bottleless water cooler to a touchless bottleless water cooler will vary depending on your personal preference, business requirements, and machine capabilities. For example, the Quench 960 foot pedals and the Quench 970 hands-free senor lid are enhancements that you can either add-on to a new machine or to your existing Quench machine. While some businesses will require a machine replacement to go totally touchless. It depends on the individual. Request a consultation with a Quench Water Expert to learn more about how easy it is to switch to touchless.
