Paraparaumu

Welcome to a list of all the Hand dryers we have found in the Kapiti Coast regions of Raumati & Paraparaumu

## Campbell Park - Paekakariki

There is a single Exceloo unit here that was built in 2009. This most likely had a JVD Master when new, but this has since been replaced with a Supreme BA101. When I visited, the BA101 was damaged and not working, so this is likely to be replaced again at some point.

## Queen Elizabeth Park - Paekakariki Entrance

There is a block of toilets here with separate gendered toilets and a disabled units. The original hand dryers were JVD Tornade's (Supreme), of which the disabled unit still has one. The Gendered units have been upgraded with Supreme BA101s.

When I visited, the power was out to the toilet block when I went, so none of the dryers were working.

## Queen Elizabeth Park - MacKays Crossing Entrance

The new visitor centre here opened in 2017 and has 5 units (3 standard, 1 disabled and 1 mens urinal), all of which with a Supreme Master Air II (JVD Master), the old bathrooms did not have any Hand Dryers.

## Queen Elizabeth Park - Raumati South Entrance

There is a set of two Permaloo toilets here. The left unit was out of order when I went, but the right unit was open. The Hand Dryer is a Dyson Airblade V, though judging by the back-plate it looks as if it has replaced something,

## Exceloo, Marine Gardens - Raumati

This unit was built in the early 2010s, replacing an older Exceloo unit. It was originally fitted with a JVD Master, but this has now been replaced with a Supreme BA101.

## Exceloo, Raumati Beach - Raumati

This unit originally had a JVD Master. It has since been replaced with a Supreme BA101.

## Exceloo, MacLean Park - Paraparaumu Beach

There appears to be 5 units here, but two of them are actually just beach changing rooms, with no washing facilities. The other 3 Exeloo units are toilets. All 3 of them originally had Duracleanz WS200 handwash and Dry units.

Following a renovation, the Duracleanz units have been removed and normal sinks and taps fitted. The two smaller units are now sporting Supreme BA101s. The Disabled unit very oddly is still using the hand dryer that was fitted to the Duracleanz.

*Kapiti Coast District council has confirmed that this toilet block will be replaced with a new block of Exceloo's in 2024.*

## Exceloo, Te Atiwa Park - Paraparaumu Beach

This set of three Exceloo's was built between 2009 and 2013. It originally featured a JVD Master II in each unit. The centre unit's dryer has been replaced with a Supreme BA101, but the other two remain.

This is a much older BP Connect. As is typical of BP connect, this originally had a Supreme Elegante, and appears (judging by the SPL-branded back-plate) to have been replaced with a World Dryer Airforce. It has now recieved a Dyson Airblade V, as is now the standard BP connect dryer.
