What is a sensor tap and how does it work?
A sensor tap, also called an automatic faucet or touchless faucet, works with an infrared sensor. When a user places their hands in front of the sensor, it activates a solenoid valve to turn the water ON. When hands are removed, the valve closes automatically. This touch-free operation helps prevent the spread of germs in public washrooms, hospitals, and offices.

What are the benefits of installing sensor taps?
The key benefits of automatic sensor taps are significant water savings of up to 50% and improved hygiene. Sensor faucets prevent water wastage by turning ON only when hands are present, and their touchless operation eliminates cross-contamination — making them ideal for public washrooms, airports, hospitals, and commercial spaces.
How much water can sensor taps save?
Automatic sensor taps save at least 50% water compared to manual taps. Water flows only when hands are detected. During soap lathering or between uses, water automatically stops — eliminating wastage. Using foam soap dispensers alongside sensor taps further reduces water consumption during rinsing.
Do sensor taps require maintenance?
Sensor taps require minimal maintenance. Clean the tap body with a damp cloth — avoid harsh chemicals. Periodically clean the solenoid valve filter (recommended every 12 months) to remove sediment. With good water quality, Askon sensor taps deliver years of trouble-free operation. In areas with hard water, occasional valve cleaning may be needed.
How to install a sensor tap?
Askon sensor taps are quick and easy to install. Basin-mount taps fit standard wash basins and come with a control box housing the solenoid valve and power supply — connect the ½" BSP water inlet and outlet pipes, mount the faucet, and connect the sensor and power cables. Both battery-operated and AC-electric options are available. Wall-mounted taps require a concealed conduit through the wall. All fittings and instructions are included.
Where are sensor taps commonly used?
Sensor taps are ideal for commercial washrooms, hotels, hospitals, offices, airports, shopping malls, and educational institutions. Their hygienic, touch-free operation makes them essential wherever public cleanliness and water conservation are priorities.
