Vandal Proof Soap Dispenser is a Success in District 9 New York City Parks

New York, New York – March 31, 2014 – Maintenance of parks and general upkeep can be incredibly expensive, especially if items such as soap dispensers have to be continually replaced or repaired due to vandalism and general upkeep.  In September 2013, the District 9 City of New York Parks and Recreation Department started using the OPS 1-Touch soap dispenser, which has been a major success for a variety of reasons.

District 9 Park Manager, Ray Acosta, says that since installing the OPS 1-Touch Foaming Soap Dispenser about seven months ago, there has not been a single vandalism or maintenance issue.  With previous soap dispensers, due to the amount of people using dispensers daily in New York City parks, there was a need to constantly repair or replace the dispensers.

The soap cartridges that fit the OPS 1-Touch Foaming Soap Dispenser can be used for over 2,500 hand washings.  According to Mr. Acosta, even after four months of use, not a single OPS 1-Touch soap cartridge has had to be changed.

With the OPS 1-Touch soap dispenser, there are no buttons, levers, or plungers that can be broken or kicked off.  Archer Manufacturing, maker of the OPS 1-Touch soap dispenser, offers a five-year warranty and guarantees the soap dispenser to be punch proof, kick proof, and knife proof.

The dispenser features an easy to push foam soap activator and a stainless steel frame that makes the dispenser attractive and easy to clean.  The OPS 1-Touch soap dispenser also features a slanted top – preventing guests from using it as a cup holder or an ashtray.

Since purchasing and installing the OPS 1-Touch soap dispenser, the District 9 parks that are currently using it have not had a single issue with vandalism or maintenance for seven months.

Acosta raves, “I personally feel that [The OPS 1-Touch] would be perfect, not only for the entire New York Park System, but for many other park systems as well.”

This maintenance-free and vandalism proof soap dispenser is perfect for parks, transit stops and stations, corrections, hospitals, restaurants, night clubs, fitness centers, gymnasiums, schools, recreation facilities, stadiums, arenas, amusement parks, and more.
