As the facilities manager at a public elementary school, ensuring safe drinking water for all students and staff is my top priority. In the past, we stacked 5-gallon water jugs haphazardly in hallways and cafeteria corners. This not only took up valuable space where kids played, but also created a major tripping hazard. All that changed when we introduced the HomStora 5-Gallon Bucket Rack.
Sturdy Design: Safe for Active Kids
Its X-shaped reinforced frame can hold the weight of 10 fully loaded water jugs. Even when students run into it during recess or class breaks, it won’t tip over. This eliminates the risk of jugs falling and causing injuries.
The 37cm slim width fits perfectly between hallway walls and lockers, without blocking student traffic. The 140cm length holds exactly 10 jugs—enough to keep one grade level supplied with water for half a day.
At 8.5cm off the ground, jugs stay away from floor moisture and dust. This prevents mold growth and contamination, so the water stays clean and safe for everyone to drink.
Easy Installation & Floor-Friendly
Assembly was quick and efficient. Our maintenance team installed racks in all classroom buildings over a single weekend. No special tools or professional help were needed—just clear instructions and basic hand tools.
The threaded rubber foot pads are a thoughtful touch. They grip our school’s PVC floors tightly to prevent slipping, and leave no scratches or marks behind. This protects our school’s flooring investment and keeps hallways looking neat.
Improved Campus Organization & Reliability
Now, water jugs are lined up neatly on the racks. Our cleaning staff can mop floors and sanitize hallways without navigating around messy piles. This has noticeably improved the overall cleanliness of our campus.
Most importantly, the organized setup lets us monitor water levels at a glance. We never run out of water during class hours, ensuring a steady supply for students and teachers. It’s a small change that has made a big difference in daily school operations.
Final Thought: A Must-Have for Schools
For any school prioritizing student safety and efficient operations, the HomStora 5-Gallon Bucket Rack is a must-have. It’s not just a storage solution—it’s an investment in a safer, more organized campus.
We’ve received positive feedback from teachers, parents, and even our district safety inspector. It’s the unsung guardian that keeps our drinking water safe and our hallways hazard-free.
