You need to set the pressure correctly. My faculty has used versions of these since 1983 with great effectiveness. You push the handle and you get a normal eyewash hand fee. You pull it out and get a hose in effect. Each manufacture has specifications as to the minimum and maximum water pressure. Set them correctly and the units work the same as standard eyewashes. We standardized on these decades ago and they have been very successful both as eyewashes and as alternatives to safety showers for smaller incidents.
