How to choose the right sensor tap

First decide on the mounting style: bench-mounted sensor taps sit on the vanity or basin deck like a standard mixer, while wall-mounted or surface-mounted sensor taps are set into the wall above the basin, which suits a more minimal look with less on the benchtop to clean around. Check the sensor detection range and whether the tap offers adjustable temperature via a separate mixing valve, since many touchless taps deliver pre-set or manually blended temperature rather than lever control.

Confirm the power source that suits your installation: battery-powered units are simpler to install in an existing bathroom, while mains or transformer-powered options suit new builds or high-traffic commercial sites where battery changes would be inconvenient. Sensor taps are increasingly chosen for family bathrooms and ensuites as well as commercial washrooms, particularly where hygiene or accessibility is a priority.

Frequently asked questions

How do sensor taps work?
Sensor taps use an infrared sensor to detect hands beneath the spout and start water flow automatically, then stop it once hands move away, with no lever or handle to touch. Most run on battery power, with mains-powered options available for high-traffic sites.
Are sensor taps only for commercial bathrooms?
No, while sensor taps are common in commercial and public washrooms for hygiene and water saving, touchless basin mixers are increasingly used in homes too, particularly by households prioritising hygiene or accessibility.
How often do sensor tap batteries need replacing?
Battery life depends on usage and the specific model, ranging from several months to a few years for household use, with commercial units seeing more frequent replacement due to higher use. Check the product listing for the specific battery type and expected life.
Can sensor taps be hard-wired instead of battery powered?
Some sensor tap models offer a mains-powered or transformer option as an alternative to battery power, which suits high-traffic commercial installations where frequent battery changes would be impractical. Check the individual product listing for available power options.
