Commercial Hotel Automatic Soap Dispenser Faucets Browse FontanaShowers Automatic or sensor soap dispensers are a relatively new technology contributing to health and hygiene in the home or in public. Automatic soap dispensers have presence sensors that upon detecting the presence of the hand, dispenses only as much soap as would be necessary in a regular hand wash.
Do you have one in your home? If not, the first thing you need to introduce to your home, if you wish to upgrade your bathrooms, is the automatic bathroom technology.
Types of automatic soap dispensers
There are a number of types of soap dispensers that differ in their working. There are three different kinds of sensors that these dispensers can have. Namely:

1. Radar-based sensor

Radar-based sensors are based on micro-wave emissions. These dispensers emit microwaves constantly and when they are reflected back irregularly, soap is dispensed. Some modern forms of dispensers use infrared rays with emitters and controllers. Emitters in the dispenser send out infrared pulses which are reflected back in the presence of hands. The sensor is placed to the face in the same direction as the emitter and when rays are reflected back to the collector the pump is switched on.

1. Photo sensor

The photo sensor has a light source and a sensor. The source emits a focused ray of light which is disrupted with the presence of hands and this disruption when detected by the sensor, activates the pump to dispense the soap.

1. Passive infrared sensor

This type of sensor detects the infrared rays that the human body emits. When infrared rays are detected in front of the nozzle of the dispenser, soap is dispensed.

Benefits of automatic soap dispensers

• They are hygienic

In a normal soap dispenser or in the use of a bar of soap, the hygienic role of the hand-washing is destroyed by the contact with the soap or the button. Contamination and transmission of germs is likely in domestic as well as public bathrooms with any other technology for soaps. The automatic soap dispensers eliminate bacterial transmission by eliminating the need to touch in order to get soap.

• Release of preset increments of soaps avoids wastage

In a conventional soap dispenser a great amount of liquid soap can be wasted if the users do not carefully monitor the amount of soap they use. This is particularly problematic in public bathrooms. Automatic soap dispensers offer the ideal solution. They dispense only as much soap as needed for one regular hand-wash, and thereby reduce risk of wastage.

• Versatility of use

Once you have the soap dispenser bottle, it can be used for a number of other liquids as well. Instead of restricting its use to liquid soap, you can for example use it for lotions, hand sanitizers, laundry detergents etc.

• Automatic soap dispensers are very easy to install and use

Instructions given are quite easy and this also makes use of these dispensers by children much more effective.

Where can automatic soap dispensers be installed?
Besides its common use in the home, an increasing number of public places are employing the use of these dispensers. Public washrooms in restaurants, hotels, gyms etc. are making use of this hygienic technology. It can also be used effectively in hospital settings where health and hygiene are particularly important.
Durability and ease of use
With no need to touch the dispenser to get soap, these dispensers are much easier to use than any other technology. This lack of contact with the dispenser also makes damage less likely and thereby proves more durable than others. This will ultimately reduce repair expenses and make maintenance in public washrooms less costly or time-consuming.
