ADVANTAGES OF SENSOR TAPS

BENEFITS OF ELECTRONIC SENSOR WATER TAPS

ELECTRONIC TAPS FEATURES

Water conservation isn't a novel concept, but emerging forces are creating renewed attention among commercial property owners. With the prospect of water resources drying up, facility executives and home owners must find new ways to conserve water. Autotaps have introduce ATT-1103 for residential use, the battery-powered  tap features an infrared sensor and manually control.

SENSOR FAUCETS/TAPS FACTS

These are just a few of the reasons you might want to consider hands-free taps.

They:

* are easy to operate.
* stop the spread of germs and bacteria.
* prevent water overflow.
* save water and money.
* prevent scalding injury
* Improvements to sensor-controlled fixtures and to low-and no-flow toilets and urinals

On average, the return on investment for sensor devices is about 30 percent. The higher the water costs, the higher the return. The lower the water costs, the lower the return. The payback period is about 3-6 months.

MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS

Maintaining our sensor devices are determined by whether the electronics are hardwired or battery-operated. Hardwired products are harder and more expensive to install but require less maintenance than battery-operated devices. Most battery-operated automated systems use standard batteries available at any store; and can also use rechargeable batteries.

WATER EFFICIENCY TOPS THE LIST OF COST CONTROL PRIORITIES

Tap design look always gets the attention in restroom design. But advancing technology in taps and flush valves is having a substantial impact on restroom design. Computer circuitry and infrared technology have brought new products and lower operating costs.

Breaking Down Operating Costs Increased water costs, energy, vandalism, maintenance and legislative costs, plus changing public attitudes toward hygiene are all hitting building owners in the pocketbook. When costs become this big a factor, the industry has motivation to respond.
