Electronic taps operate via a sensor that has been installed beneath the tapware. If there is something obstructing the sensor, the tap turns on. Once the obstruction is removed, the water automatically shuts off. You can choose to have these taps directly wired into your home's electrical supply or to have them run on replaceable batteries. The taps come in a range of designs as well as finishes, so you can rest assured that you can get electronic tapware to suit any room of your home. Here are some of the reasons to upgrade to electronic taps.

Electronic taps enhance water efficiency

A common assumption that people make is that electronic taps are more for the luxury of modern tapware rather than functionality. However, despite providing a contemporary touch to your home, these taps are also quite utilitarian. One of the ways that they are functional is in decreasing the amount of water wastage in your home. Since the taps only turn on when there is something blocking the sensor, you do not have to worry about wasting water when washing your hands, brushing your teeth and more. Additionally, you can have your taps installed with the added feature of a flow regulator. These flow regulators, also referred to as aerators, ensure that you get to control the water pressure, without compromising on being water efficient. Overall, you could make considerable savings on your monthly bill over time.

Electronic taps are user friendly

If you have children in your household, you are familiar with how tedious it is to always have to open and shut taps for them when they need to wash their hands. Alternatively, even when they are old enough to open and shut the taps by themselves, children often forget to shut them tightly, and this leads to dripping faucets which may take you a while to spot. With electronic taps, your children do not have to contend with levers that they are required to either push or pull. This makes electronic taps the most user-friendly option, even for the youngest children in the household. They also greatly decrease the occurrence of leaking taps that were not shut tight enough.

Electronic taps are a hygienic option

Taps tend to get filthy fast since they are typically handled with dirty hands. This not only affects their appearance, but it also increases the chances of bacteria breeding on them if they are not cleaned on a regular basis. With electronic tapware, you do not have to worry about this since users do not have to make any contact with the sensors. This reduces the germs on your tapware, and also decreases the amount of residue that collects on your tapware. Therefore, they will need to be cleaned less frequently.
