Soap Dispensers
Soap dispensers come in many
different shapes, sizes, colors and styles. Some mount on
walls and mirrors others can mounted in and on counter tops.
The two most common types of soap dispensers are cartridge and
bulk soap dispensers. Both types of dispensers can use
multiple types of soaps and come in many different styles.
The most economical of these dispensers is the bulk soap type.
Bulk soap dispensers are filled by pouring soap out of a
container into the soap reservoir of the dispenser. The
easiest dispenser to use and manage is the cartridge dispenser
sometimes know as the soap dispenser that uses bag in the box
soap.
Bulk Soap Dispensers
Bulk soap dispensers are the most
economical soap dispensers by far. Bulk soap can be
purchased in quarts, gallons, 5 gallon pails and 55 gal drums.
If you use a lot of soap you can save hundreds of dollars a year
by buying using bulk liquid soaps. Bulk soap dispensers are easy to fill and
inexpensive to buy. Another advantage of the bulk liquid soap
dispenser is that you are not stuck with one brand of soap which
can be true about refill cartridge dispensers. (Certain types of
refill soap dispensers will only accept refills from the
dispenser manufacturer.
Plastic Bulk Liquid Soap Dispenser
An entry range bulk
soap
dispensers runs between $20 and $30 dollars with a life span up
to 5 years.

Bulk liquid soap dispensers don't
look like they used too, they come in many shapes and
styles. For facilities that use an abundance of soap we
recommend a soap dispenser with a clear or tinted front because
you can see when they are running low. If you use a
professional cleaning company who cleans on off business hours
it can help them to see when the soap is running low and refill
them before they run out. Plastic bulk soap dispensers are
great for private businesses but are not vandalism resistant and
can be easily cracked when hit or bumped. For an
economical bulk liquid soap dispensers this is the one we would
recommend.

span of up to 10 years. These dispensers are easy to fill
by pouring liquid soap into the refilling reservoir. An
entry level stainless steel soap dispenser costs in the range of
$40 to $50.
How Bulk Liquid Soap Dispensers Work
Bulk liquid soap dispensers work
by pressing a button which opens a valve with rubber seals
inside. Over time the rubber seals can breakdown which
will make the soap dispenser leak. When we talk about the
life span of a soap dispenser the seals are what we are
referring too.

release valve with rubber seals is located at the bottom of the
dispenser.
On some liquid soap dispensers
the seals can be replaced or the dispenser can be fitted with a
brand new valve. If you do have a wall mounted dispenser
we recommend using a clear or white soap because colored soaps
can stain counter tops and floors. If you don't have room
to use a wall mounted dispenser, a counter mounted bulk soap
dispenser might be the right choice for you.

The soap reservoir on this type
of
dispenser is located under the counter and can be hidden away.
All you see looking down at the counter is
the chrome head. We recommend these dispensers only if the
soap reservoir bottle is located in an enclosed area so it will
not be disturbed by children. The reservoir bottle can be
unscrewed from the unit and filled easily.
Refill Bag In The Box Soap
Dispensers

Cartridge refill soap dispensers
are easy to manage and maintain. All the working parts in
the dispenser are located in the refill cartridge so
every time you replace your refill you are essentially replacing
the working mechanisms of the dispenser. Refills come in
an array of sizes to suite every facilities needs. You can
also purchase multiple types of soap to fit in the same
dispenser. Using cartridge refills makes refilling your
dispenser an easy and clean task, just pull out the old box out
and slide the new one in.
