Things to Consider
Use
How often will your soap dispenser be used? If you have a few low-traffic areas, you may want to consider purchasing liquid and foaming hand soap or sanitizer bottles. With push pumps that ensure easy dispensing, the bottles can be placed on bathroom, kitchen, or work-station stainless steel sink for convenience. If you have limited counter or work-station space, you may want to purchase a wall bracket for your soap or sanitizer bottle. Once the bottles are empty, they can simply be thrown away!
Location
When deciding to purchase a soap dispenser, consider where the dispenser will be located. Will it be placed in a tight-fitting area? If so, we have compact, space-saving units that are specifically designed for small restrooms and kitchens. Will you place your dispenser above a sink? Make sure to leave enough room between the sink and the dispenser so your guests can effectively retrieve soap. It is recommended to leave at least 6 inches of room from the bottom of the dispenser to the sink.
Capacity
You may also want to think about the capacity of your soap dispenser. We offer refills and cartridges ranging from 700 mL (23.6 oz.) to 4500 mL (152.2 oz.) and bulk soap by the gallon. If you are planning on adding a dispenser to a low-traffic area, stick with a smaller dispenser to conserve wall space. For high-traffic areas, use a larger dispenser for less refills.
Accessories
