Advantages of Sensor Taps over Conventional Taps:

  1. Water Conservation: Sensor taps automatically shut off when not in use, significantly reducing water wastage and lowering water rates.
  2. Hygiene: Touch-free operation minimises the spread of germs, making them ideal for hospitals, restaurants, and public restrooms.
  3. Convenience and Accessibility: Hands-free operation enhances ease of use, especially for individuals with disabilities, the elderly, and children.

Why Choose a 6-Star WELS Rating?

Maximum Water Efficiency: 6-star taps use the least amount of water, often reducing consumption by more than 50% compared to lower-rated products.

Cost Savings: Lower water usage translates to substantial savings on water bills, particularly in high-usage commercial spaces.

Environmental Benefits: By conserving water, 6-star products support sustainable water resources and reduce the energy required for water heating and wastewater treatment, thus lowering greenhouse gas emissions.

For example, a 6-star WELS tap may use as little as 4.5 liters per minute compared to 9 liters per minute for a 3-star tap, saving thousands of liters of water annually per tap.
