Save water and cut energy costs with contactless sensor fittings from SCHELL

4-minute read

Anyone looking to save water and cut energy costs should not only think about heating but also fittings that can reduce water consumption. In particular, reducing hot water consumption in a building can really save money. And it’s quick to achieve with the smart low-contact and contactless fittings from SCHELL. Modernisation work soon pays its way: with contactless SCHELL wash basin taps, you can cut water use by up to 70 percent while not compromising on user comfort!

Looking to save water and cut costs – but don’t know how?

Optimising water and hot water consumption during planning protects the environment and saves on energy bills in the long term. Contactless SCHELL wash basin taps in particular, as well as electronic urinal fittings, can help achieve huge savings here. Installation and conversion work with these fittings is fast and straightforward. And water then only flows when it is actually needed. At the same time, SCHELL fittings offer user-friendly and hygienic operation.

Cut water consumption by up to 70 percent with self-closing and sensor fittings from SCHELL

It’s no secret in the sanitation industry: most users don’t actually turn off the tap while soaping up their hands. Water continues to flow and is wasted unnecessarily. And if users actually forget to close the lever again after handwashing, water consumption will increase drastically. But help is at hand from low-contact self-closing fittings and contactless fittings from SCHELL: these cut off the flow of water automatically. As a result, only the specified volume of water needed for handwashing is actually used. Fittings that are triggered by a contactless, infrared sensor optimise water consumption even further: here, the flow of water stops instantly once hands are taken out of the sensor field. Compared with regular single-lever mixers, contactless fittings from SCHELL can achieve water savings as high as 70 percent. Accordingly, SCHELL fittings – whether installed at home or in a large sports stadium – pay their way in reduced water and energy bills very quickly. We’ve put together four examples to show you the kinds of savings that you can expect to achieve.
