Application:Self-contained eye wash and/or drench hose units are ideal where a continuous supply of potable water is not available.

Fifteen gallon units provide approximately 10 usable gallons (37.9 liters) of water for effective rinsing of eyes, face or body. Note that, under ANSI Z358.1-2004, drench hose units supplement but do not replace other types of emergency equipment.
