Prowash Features

The Prowash HGP230M portable hot water hand wash unit is electronically programmed to deliver a wash that exactly matches the requirement as shown in definitive document produced by the National Patient Safety Agency for the NHS:-
"Handwashing technique with soap and water".

Washing procedure
The washing procedure with the Hygienius^® Prowash is simple, quick and very effective.

• Placing the hands in the bowl triggers the Greensensor begins the wash cycle.
• The Prowash will then deliver water for 2 to 3 seconds in which to wet the hands.
• The Greensensor will continue flashing for the 15 seconds 'soaping time' whilst you apply and rub in the liquid soap.
• After that the Greensensor will extinguish and the 10 second hot wash will begin to allow a thorough warm rinse.
• Removing the hands from the bowl allows the Prowash to reset and the Greensensor to relight.

Total time for a perfect wash  - just 25 to 30 seconds - and hands cannot be cleaner!.

Portable hand washing
Prowash can provide its unique washing facility at any strategic locations being free from the requirement of fixed plumbing. Fully self-contained it only requires a 13 amp power point for immediate and successful operation.
