Sensor Taps v/s Hand Operated Taps: Which is Better?

Sensor taps have been the go-to solution for plenty of upmarket businesses for the last few years, but since the rates have come down drastically, average establishments are also looking out to install the same.

Let’s first understand how sensor faucet /taps work when compared with traditional taps!

As evident with the name, sensor taps have a preinstalled sensor in the area that is the nearest to hands during hand-wash practices.
These sensors allow & restrict the flow of water depending upon whether there is a human hand in the vicinity or not.

Now, let’s talk about the differences between sensor taps and hand-operated taps -

Water Savings & Flow Control

As it’s clear that sensor taps don’t require any touch or click to start or moderate the flow of water, unlike traditional taps, hence, we can safely say that water savings are maximum with sensor taps. Most of the sensor taps have an aerator in the sprout, which allows a constant flow rate instead of an uneven flow rate like traditional taps resulting in a splash, wastages, and a messy washroom.

It has been found that traditional taps can exhaust up to 10-15 liters of water every minute, whereas the sensor taps only allow 2-3 liters of water per minute.

Effort & Energy Efficiency

Plenty of traditional tap users misinterpret sensor taps as energy wasters, which is not entirely true; although sensor taps require continuous energy flow, they also keep the water heated up to a certain level at all times. Which is good for hands, and helps with winters too, in comparison with other heating equipment, which may cost heavily?

Also, there is no twisting and turning involved, which is certainly relaxing & time-saving in every manner.

Hygiene and Cleanliness

Everybody knows the importance of hygiene maintenance since the arrival of Covid-19, especially with faucets. With hand-free sensor taps, nobody needs to touch the tap, hence there is no spread of germs, ensuring all-round safety. Also, in public utilities, many have been prone to forgetting to turn off the tap; sensor taps have no such issues.

All the medical and other experts recommend using sensor taps as there are no sudden flows, unkempt hands, and also no turning-knob issues causing a leaky faucet, involved.

Style Statement

Let’s have it, sensor taps look rich, stylish, and elegant altogether, and a multitude of users increasingly expect to find sensor taps in public and private establishments, rather than twisting and turning a traditional faucet.
