Europe’s first contactless bottle filling stations are being rolled out in the Fingal area by a local company Ecofil for Fingal County Council. 

The new bottle filling stations provide contactless, clean and safe drinking water without the risk of touching high-use buttons that could increase the spread of infection. Users can simply place a water bottle into the holder and the sensors will pick up on movement and activate the machine to dispense clean and fresh drinking water . To further reduce the potential spread of pathogens, the ‘no touch’ design prevents the bottle rim from coming into contact with the nozzle.
