Battery operated sensor faucet

www.presto.fr

From Presto, the Squale is a CSA- and ADA-compliant battery operated sensor faucet which, thanks to its auto-adaptive detection system and also its self learning process, features a tap that is free of the most frequent external disturbances. The product also features a mixer lever situated on top for better comfort, a patented limitation system to prevent scalding and a silver based laminated flow device to prevent the formation of bacteria. Now available in Canada and the United States for institutional and commercial use, this faucet exists with or without the mixer lever, and all components are integrated into the tap, including the standard 6V/2CR5 battery, the solenoid and the electronic controls. Therefore, installation time is reduced and the space under the lavatory remains intact.
