| ANSI Z358.1 Compliant? | 16-gal model meets full 15-min requirement | 15-gal model meets full 15-min requirement |

Can I get volume pricing for large orders?
Yes, we offer competitive volume pricing for bulk orders. Contact our sales team for a custom quote. We also offer pallet pricing and fleet program discounts for qualifying orders.
How often do I need to change the water in a portable eyewash station?
Gravity-fed stations require weekly water changes unless you add a bacteriostatic preservative, which extends the cycle to 90–180 days depending on the preservative used. Pressurized stations are factory-sealed and do not need water changes — replace the entire cartridge before the expiration date stamped on the unit.
Do portable eyewash stations meet ANSI Z358.1?
Only the 16-gallon gravity-fed and 15-gallon pressurized models deliver the full 15-minute flush required by ANSI Z358.1. Smaller units (10-gal, 4-gal, 2.9-gal) are classified as supplemental stations and should be used alongside a primary plumbed station or a compliant portable unit.
