RETAILOBSERVER.COM MAY 2021 24 With today's emphasis on frequent hand-washing, Gessi understands the importance of adding touch-free performance technology to their line. Their innovative system uses a highly sensitive infrared sensor and is designed to promote good hygiene, improve efficiency and reduce water consumption. Water flow is activated as hands approach the tap or sensor plate within an adjustable detection distance, completely eliminating the need to touch a faucet lever. The flow automatically shuts off within two seconds of the hands' retreat. The motion sensor can be connected to an electrical network or powered by battery. The sensors are located in the tap plate, faucet base, or a separate control in coordinating style and finish depending on the model. Gessi offers Sensor Taps in various configurations, including basin mixers, wall-mounted designs, or as stand-alone units with separate controls that become the bath's focal point. The Inciso, Rettangolo and Rilievo are constructed of solid brass, and the Gessi 316 Collection is stainless steel. All collections offer a flow rate of 1.2 gallons per minute at 43 PSI and 0.2 gallons per cycle. Visit www.gessi.com for more details about the benefits and beauty of Sensor Taps by Gessi.
