First Aid Only Eyewash Additive: 8 oz. Concentrate for Portable Irrigation Stations
The First Aid Only 90496 is a high-potency eyewash additive designed to preserve and stabilize water in portable gravity-fed eyewash stations. This 8 oz. concentrate addresses the critical need for maintaining a sanitary, bacteria-free irrigation supply in environments where plumbed water is unavailable. By treating the water with this preservative, facilities can ensure that emergency eye wash remains clean, safe, and ready for use for up to 120 days, reducing the frequency of water changes and maintenance labor.
Engineered for versatility, one 8 oz. bottle can treat between 5 and 20 gallons of potable water, depending on the station’s capacity and the desired concentration. The additive features a tamper-evident breakaway seal to guarantee chemical integrity and safety before use. This concentrate is a vital component for ensuring that portable stations, such as the Haws 7501, remain compliant with ANSI Z358.1 standards for emergency ocular irrigation in industrial, construction, and remote laboratory settings.

Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to commonly asked questions below.
-
Does this 8 oz. additive provide the necessary chemical stability to prevent biofilm and bacterial growth in a residential gravity-fed station?
Yes, this 8 oz. concentrate is a professional-grade bacteriostatic agent designed to inhibit the growth of algae, fungus, and harmful bacteria in standing water. For a homeowner, this is a critical "Safety Anchor" that ensures the water remains sterile and safe for ocular use for up to six months. Without this additive, stagnant water in a home station can become a breeding ground for pathogens, turning a safety device into a potential source of infection.
-
How does the use of this concentrate affect the load capacity and maintenance schedule of a large-scale home eyewash unit?
By treating a full reservoir (typically 7 to 20 gallons depending on the station), this additive creates a massive load capacity of emergency fluid that far exceeds what portable bottles can offer. This allows for the 15-minute continuous flush recommended by medical professionals for severe chemical exposures. Using this additive reduces the homeowner's maintenance burden, extending the interval between water changes and ensuring the station is always in a "ready-to-act" state.
-
Is the resulting solution pH-balanced and safe for sensitive family members once the additive is mixed with potable water?
Once mixed according to the instructions, the additive creates a solution that is physiologically compatible with human tears, providing a "helpful neighbor" level of care that is gentle on the eyes. It ensures that the water remains pH-balanced, preventing the stinging or secondary irritation that can occur with untreated tap water. This makes it a reliable resource for households with children or seniors who may have more sensitive ocular tissues.
-
Can a homeowner easily measure and mix this solution without specialized laboratory equipment or professional plumbing knowledge?
The 8 oz. bottle is designed for a "one-step" mixing process, allowing the homeowner to simply pour the concentrate into a clean tank and fill with potable water. This "Answer-First" approach to maintenance requires no complex tools or specialized training, making it an accessible DIY task for any property manager or safety-conscious resident. It empowers the user to maintain an industrial-level safety standard with minimal effort.
-
Does the use of a bacteriostatic additive help preserve the aerospace aluminum-style integrity of the station’s internal components over long periods?
By keeping the water clean and free of corrosive biological growth, the additive helps protect the internal seals and delivery spray heads of the eyewash station. This preserves the functional integrity of the unit, ensuring that when the "pull-down" arm is activated in an emergency, the flow is immediate and unobstructed. This long-term protection of the safety infrastructure is a vital modular link in a comprehensive home emergency preparedness plan.
