Electronic wash basin taps in the guest WC – smart comfort for holidays

Holidays often bring life and laughter to many a home. During this time, family and friends will come and go, and the guest WC sees a lot more use than normal. Electronic taps are the perfect choice for wash basins in these rooms. Thanks to their contactless operation, the taps always stay clean and dry. At the same time, contactless taps also enhance user comfort and reduce water consumption. This turns the guest WC into the home’s ‘calling card’ while also offering better quality of life day to day – and not just during the holidays.

A small upgrade – but a big home improvement

Modernising the guest WC needn’t become a major DIY project. Just the switch to an electronic faucet – like the XERIS E² from SCHELL, for example – can make all the difference. In many cases, installation can be completed quickly, with immediate day-to-day benefits – and especially when guests visit the home over the holidays.

Clean and contactless – ideal for many hands

Equipped with an infrared or time-of-flight (ToF) sensor, SCHELL’s electronic taps trigger the flow of water automatically once the user’s hands have moved to within detection range. No further contact with the tap is needed – which keeps surfaces clean and also reduces the risk of contact infections. In guest WCs, this is especially useful if many people will be washing their hands after one another.

Saving water made easy

With electronic taps, water flows only when it is truly needed. This means: no constant stream of water while soaping the hands, and no lever left accidentally open or dripping once handwashing is complete. The flow time can also be set for each tap individually, so that only the preconfigured volume of water flows for handwashing. When compared to conventional single-lever mixers, water consumption can be reduced significantly – by as much as 70 percent with electronic taps from SCHELL.

Maintaining drinking water quality – simply and safely

To safeguard drinking water quality, SCHELL’s electronic sensor taps offer the option of performing stagnation flushes at specified flush intervals. Accordingly, the tap water that would normally start to stagnate in the piping during a holiday of several days or even weeks can instead be regularly exchanged. This is essential for preventing the growth of harmful bacteria like Legionella in the installation and so maintaining the high quality of the drinking water.

Enhancing bathrooms and properties alike

Electronic taps are not only practical and convenient, but also enhance the overall appearance of a bathroom. For landlords and home owners, this is a key fit-out feature that not only enhances the appeal of the residence but also has a positive long-term effect on the value of the property. Especially in rooms such as the guest WC or guest bathroom, these upgrades, although modest, act as ‘calling cards’ for the home, and give the space a fresh and modern look.

Guest bathrooms are not the only place where electronic taps can shine: the hybrid GRANDIS E kitchen tap is SCHELL’s smart solution for greater hygiene and user-friendly operation in the kitchen routine. Find out more here.
