Haws 9082 Eyewash Preservative. 4 Pack of 8 oz. (236 ml) bottle

The Haws 9082 is a bacteriostatic eye wash water preservative additive for use in portable eyewash stations. Sold as a 4-pack of 8 oz. (236 mL) bottles, the 9082 is used to help preserve potable water in self-contained eyewash tanks between scheduled water changes.

Each 8 oz. bottle treats 5 to 20 gallons (18.9 to 75.7 L) of potable water for up to four months. Haws lists the 9082 as FDA-compliant, with a 2-year shelf life and storage requirements of 68–77°F (20–25°C).

Why Portable Eyewash Stations Need A Preservative

Portable gravity-fed eyewash stations hold potable water in a tank so they can deliver emergency flushing fluid when a plumbed eyewash is not available. Because that water may sit in the tank between scheduled maintenance intervals, a bacteriostatic preservative helps maintain the integrity of the water during storage.

The Haws 9082 is designed for Haws portable eyewashes, overhead tank showers, and air-charged tempered shower systems where stored water needs to be preserved. It is not a cleaner, sanitizer, or substitute for proper tank maintenance. Always start with clean potable water and follow the maintenance instructions for your specific eyewash station.

How To Use The Haws 9082

Use one full 8 oz. bottle of Haws 9082 per eyewash tank fill for units with capacities from 5 to 20 gallons.

• Fill the portable eyewash tank with clean potable water.
• Add one full 8 oz. bottle of Haws 9082 preservative concentrate.
• Follow the operating manual for your specific eyewash station.
• Replace the treated potable water on the manufacturer's recommended schedule.
• After any full 15-minute ANSI activation test, refill the tank with clean potable water and add a new bottle of 9082.

Important: The 9082 concentrate must be diluted with potable water before use. Do not put the concentrate directly into eyes — contact with the concentrate can cause irritation.

What Equipment Is The 9082 Designed For?

Haws specifies Model 9082 for use with Haws portable eyewashes, overhead tank showers, and air-charged tempered shower systems where the integrity of stored water needs to be preserved.

Common Haws portable eyewash products that may use preservative additive include:

• Haws 7501 Portable Gravity-Fed Eyewash, 9-gallon
• Haws 7500 Portable Gravity-Fed Eyewash, 16-gallon
• Haws 7500EB Heated Portable Eyewash, 16-gallon

If you are using another manufacturer's portable eyewash station, check that station's operation and maintenance manual before ordering. Some manufacturers specify their own branded bacteriostatic additive for warranty and maintenance purposes.

How Much Will A 4-Pack Cover?

Each carton includes four 8 oz. bottles. Each bottle treats one tank fill from 5 to 20 gallons.

• One portable eyewash station: one 4-pack covers up to four scheduled refill cycles.
• Four portable eyewash stations: one 4-pack covers one fill cycle for up to four stations, when each station holds 5 to 20 gallons.
• Large facilities: order based on the number of stations and your refill schedule.

The Haws product page and spec sheet list a 2-year shelf life, so facilities with multiple portable eyewash stations can keep extra bottles available for scheduled maintenance.
