As a property manager overseeing three residential communities, managing water stations in public areas has always been one of my top priorities. Especially in lobby spaces, community centers, and outdoor recreational zones, storing 5-gallon water jugs has long presented persistent challenges: messy clutter, serious safety hazards, and high maintenance burdens. All these long-standing issues were completely resolved once we adopted the HomStora 5-Gallon Water Jug Rack.
With heavy foot traffic across our communities, including frequent visits from seniors and young children, leaving water jugs scattered on the floor not only ruins the community’s overall appearance but also creates serious tripping risks. We once had an incident where children running and playing tripped over loose jugs, which left us deeply concerned. The HomStora rack features a reinforced X-shaped support frame, constructed from heavy-duty carbon steel with a total weight capacity of up to 500 pounds. It can securely hold 10 standard 5-gallon water jugs and remains stable even under minor bumps, effectively eliminating safety risks at their source.
Its slim 37cm width is perfectly designed for public community spaces. Whether placed in a lobby corner, against the wall of a community center, or in a storage nook in an outdoor lounge area, it fits flexibly without blocking walkways or disrupting the community’s aesthetic and landscape design.
Built to Last: High Durability & Low Maintenance for Public Use
Given the high-frequency usage and challenging maintenance demands of public facilities, we have been extremely satisfied with the HomStora rack’s durability and easy upkeep. The rack’s surface undergoes a three-layer epoxy coating process, delivering exceptional corrosion and wear resistance. It shows no signs of rust or deformation even after prolonged use in both damp outdoor environments and dry indoor areas, significantly reducing our long-term maintenance costs.
The thoughtfully designed threaded rubber feet offer dual benefits: they provide reliable anti-slip grip in high-traffic zones to prevent sliding, while also protecting community floors—including tile and marble surfaces—from scratches and scuffs, cutting down on floor repair expenses.
Additionally, the rack requires no specialized tools or professional technicians for assembly. Our property staff can quickly complete installation and disassembly during their free time. If we need to relocate water stations to adapt to different community needs, the rack is lightweight and easy to move, making it highly adaptable across various settings.
Improved Resident Experience & Enhanced Community Image
Since implementing the HomStora rack, resident satisfaction with our public water stations has risen dramatically. Many residents have shared positive feedback: the neatly organized jugs create a clean, pleasant appearance, and the 8.5cm elevated design means no bending is required, making water access easy and comfortable for both seniors and children.
Standardized, orderly water storage has also elevated the overall tidiness and quality of our communities, strengthening our property’s brand image.
For property management teams, the HomStora 5-Gallon Water Jug Rack does far more than solve storage problems. It reduces safety hazards, lowers maintenance costs, and improves resident satisfaction—making it a highly cost-effective accessory for public facilities. It is widely suitable for residential neighborhoods, office buildings, industrial parks, and other public spaces.
