How does Sensor Tap work?

 Sensor taps are now one of the most preferred water flow solutions, especially in light of the coronavirus. They are a crucial step in limiting touch points in the washroom because the device never needs to be physically touched by the user.

Advantages of Sensor taps:

Sensor taps eliminate contact points in the washroom, resulting in improved cleanliness and a reduction in the spread of pathogens from surface to surface. They are also less prone to wear and tear, as well as heavy grime, thanks to their no-touch functioning. Sensor tap also make your bathroom more intuitive to use and can help you save water.

What is the amount of water that a sensor tap saves?

The exact response will be determined by a variety of parameters, including water pressure, the flow rate of the sensor tap model, and the nature of the application. When compared to someone washing oil or grease off their hands, light hand washing needs far less water. Sensor taps are thought to reduce water usage by 35-50 percent on average. There are a couple factors at work here. Not only because many sensor taps manage the flow of water through them, resulting in less water consumed over time, but also because the nature of their operation causes users to consume less water. Sensor taps emit water for a predetermined amount of time after being engaged. When compared to those who turn on a standard lever tap and wait for the water to warm up, many users will only reactivate the tap once or twice, which can save time.

What is a sensor tap and how does it work?

An infrared beam emitted by a sensor is used to control automatic sensor tap (usually located on the stem). When hands are placed in front of the beam, it is shattered, allowing water to flow. The water then flows for a predetermined amount of time before turning off automatically. Although it does require electricity to work, the voltage is extremely low.

What is the best way to fix a sensor tap?

For sensor taps, there are a few basic troubleshooting tips. The sensor is frequently filthy, which might cause problems with operation. Cleaning the sensor should fix the problem. You should also check the water pressure at your taps, as solenoid valves require a certain amount of pressure to function properly. Additionally, the filter in the thermostatic mixing valve, or the tap itself, may be slightly clogged, which an expert facilities staff can easily remove and clean.
