Partnership Targets Water Purification in K-12 Schools
Pure, sustainable hydration is vital to the growing bodies of kids. Children are at greater risk of dehydration due to their lower body weight, smaller reserve of body fluids, and higher surface-to-mass ratio. Impurities in water can also impact them more severely than adults. Oasis International is proud to partner with K-12 learning institutions across the country with a full suite of products that bring healthy, reliable hydration to their students.
Oasis offers drinking fountains, water coolers, bottle fillers, bottleless coolers, and under-counter coolers. Oasis is also creator of the industry’s only bottle-filler retrofit, which converts an existing cooler into a more in-demand bottle filler. These solutions can be hard-piped in, free-standing, mounted on floors or walls, and placed in high-traffic areas or tucked away.
Oasis service specialists understand the demands placed on school administrators and take the complex work and stress off an already busy schedule. With a free consultation, there’s no need to become a water expert overnight. Advisors will design a plan and product mix that’s best for each school’s unique plumbing, water quality, and community needs. This product mix is born out of Oasis’ Total Facility Analysis — a holistic, 360-degree review of a school system’s water and dispensing equipment — that reveals precisely where and how water should be available. Oasis experts consider the entire academic, foodservice, and athletic facilities.
Oasis will even work with school systems to explore available grants that help defray the cost of buying new equipment. Many grants are available if the new machines meet certain sustainability or purity goals, which Oasis products typically do.
Next, take the guesswork out of installation service with a nationwide installation network.
Oasis stays with schools after the installation is complete, offering a robust library of post-installation awareness and advocacy materials. Keeping students healthy and hydrated with clean, pure water is an ongoing commitment. Materials help remind students, staff, and parents about the importance of adequate hydration on developing minds and bodies.
