• The Faucet mounted eyewash provides business facilities with eye wash irrigation capabilities in an attractive, low cost package.

• Installation is easy, with a variety of industry standard adapters included that allow the eye pod to be used with standard faucets.

• Unscrew the existing aerator from the bottom of the faucet, and replace with the faucet mounted eye wash

• Designed to withstand a lifetime of use

• Features a built-in thermostatic safety valve that will automatically shut off eyewash flows at 100 degree Fahrenheit, diverting all water out through the aerator at the bottom of the unit. This protects users from accidentally irrigating with water that is too hot. When the water temperature returns to a safe temperature, eyewash flow is automatically restored.

• Traditional eye washes irrigate from the outside edge of the eye back toward the nose. where contaminants can then be flushed into the nasal cavity through the lacrimal punctum, natures ocular cavity drain.
