Why Sensor Technology is Now the Gold Standard in Commercial Faucets
Hygiene standards in commercial buildings have improved significantly since the start of the pandemic. One easy choice for owners, specifiers, builders and architects is the addition of touchless faucets in new projects as well as renovations. They have become an increasingly sought-after appliance for commercial kitchens and bathrooms, just like they have in residential uses. In fact, faucets with sensor technology are now the gold standard because they not only improve hygiene, but their convenience and water-preservation technology have now become a must-have for end users as well as those who pay the water bill. Central Brass, a commercial faucet, parts and fixture company that has been trusted by professionals for over a century, is one company that is rapidly expanding specification packages for their partners to include custom orders for touchless faucets. This is especially beneficial for the cost savings, variety of options available and the peace of mind knowing that a company known for its quality and customer care is watching out for their clients at an unprecedented level.
Let’s dive more into the benefits of Central Brass’ touchless faucets:
Technology
Sensor technology uses diodes within an infrared signal. Once an object enters the proximity of the signal, the signal is reflected back to the sensor, instructing it to turn on the water. Not all sensors are created equal. Just as there are a range of materials that can be used in a faucet, from brass to thin plastic, sensors are also created to the specifications of the manufacturer which vary. Central Brass, just like its name suggests, focuses on the strongest materials possible, sourcing them in bulk from long-time partners for a sensor built to last, just like their faucets.
It’s not all about strength, though, the specific technology developed by Central Brass and the Pioneer family of products is particularly sensitive for quick turn-on and off times, each time, which minimizes frustration.
Hygiene
Many guests and homeowners would rather not touch faucets to prevent the spread of germs. Luckily, by using diodes and infrared signals, the sensor faucet experience is touch-free. The faucets are also often equipped with aerators that mix the water with air as water flows from the spout. This is not only excellent for limiting the amount of water consumed, but it also limits the amount of bacteria in the pipes. The technology’s automatic flushing feature and usage of aerators rids the pipes of still water that like to gather bacteria.
Water-preservation
Central Brass was an early adopter of a water-friendly stance on faucet manufacturing. Now, nearly all Central Brass faucets, as well as those of Pioneer and Olympia, are made to save water. We’ve developed state-of-the-art aerators plus a water delivery system that capitalizes on power while minimizing water usage. We can’t divulge all our secrets as the technology is proprietary, but we can say that it’s an innovative step none can match! The importance of saving water simply can’t be underestimated. It is vital to our continued use and enjoyment of this beautiful planet and has a nice added benefit of saving everyone involved money, from commercial building owners to builders.
Wrapping it Up
Sensor or touchless technology makes for an easier and safer experience when using any faucet. The touchless technology limits the spread of germs and makes for a quicker and more hygienic experience for the user. The water-wise solutions Central Brass uses limits the water consumed and avoids over-usage. For these reasons, using touchless faucet technology is now considered a best practice in commercial buildings. At Central Brass’ affordable pricing structure, there’s really no good reason to not make touchless faucets a feature of your new or current commercial building.
