Sensor taps detect the presence of hands or objects using infrared (IR) or capacitive sensors, automatically controlling water flow. Here’s how they work:


  1. Sensor Detection: IR sensors detect heat from your hands, while capacitive sensors sense changes in the electric field nearby.


  2. Signal Processing: When motion is detected, the signal is sent to the control unit, which decides whether to turn the water on or off.


  3. Water Control: The control unit activates an electronic valve to allow or stop the water flow.


  4. Power Source: Sensor taps are powered by batteries or the building’s electrical system.


  5. Customization: Many models allow you to adjust water temperature and flow rate directly on the tap or via an app.



Sensor taps provide convenience, enhance hygiene, and conserve water by only running when needed.
