Water conversation in India has become a serious issue that needs recognition and immediate intervention. With the impending water crisis, sustainable consumption of water becomes an absolute necessity. As a result, the demand for sustainable plumbing solutions has been on the rise. The current market trends favour products that are both sustainable and cost-efficient. Minimizing water consumption is a great way to reduce energy costs. It is common knowledge that households and buildings using traditional fittings waste a lot of water. The best way to decrease water consumption is to invest in contact-free, electronic taps. Touchless sensor taps from leading brands like SCHELL have shown to cut water consumption by a whopping 70 per cent without compromising on aesthetic value, hygiene, or user comfort.
Water-efficient sensor taps
The habit of keeping the tap open while brushing or washing hands alone leads to a remarkable waste of water. The best solution is to install low-contact or touchless wash basin taps and electronic fittings. These user-friendly and hygienic fittings will only turn on the water supply when it’s needed. This small and underrated change has a huge impact on your water consumption.
Touchless sensor taps and fittings by SCHELL
These fittings are great for water conversation as they cut off the water supply automatically. Low-contact fittings such as pressmatic taps save water to a certain degree but the ideal solution is to go for contactless taps. These taps optimise water use as the infrared sensors instantly cut off the supply once your hands go out of the sensor field. This way the tap will only activate the water flow when it is actually necessary. It is also possible to limit the sensor detection range.
Touchless taps can decrease consumption by 70 per cent. While these have an increased price point, in the long term they pay for themselves by minimising energy bills. Their long service life and appealing design make them a worthy investment. These taps also come with intelligent technology that maintains drinking water hygiene.
An additional point that needs consideration here is hygiene. SCHELL sensor fittings reduce physical contact thereby promoting hygiene that is essential in public settings. According to the World Health Organisation, up to 80 per cent of all infectious diseases are spread through contact with hands. Contactless fittings reduce the risk of infection by avoiding contact with potentially contaminated surfaces. Several of the electronic fixtures offered by SCHELL have a contactless actuation feature. This is especially helpful in restrooms that are frequently used by a large number of people like in a commercial, public, or semi-public setting.
