In a shared washroom, the control choice affects maintenance as well as use. A timed push button and a touch-free sensor suit different operating arrangements. Compare the complete product with its basin and intended operation, instead of simply contrasting mechanical and electronic technology.
01
Observe the users
Identify expected actions: handwashing, rinsing an object or occasionally filling a container. Examine operating effort and how children, visitors or people with reduced mobility understand the control.
The PRESTO NEO range distinguishes push-button, ergonomic and sensor-operated versions. Test the chosen configuration; a range name does not describe every function.
02
Separate activation from duration
Activation alone does not tell you when water stops. Read the data sheet: timed flow, stopping when hands withdraw and possible settings vary between products.
Then compare spout reach and detection area with the bowl. A practical trial helps identify splashing, a difficult-to-reach control or unsuitable activation behaviour.
03
Plan power and maintenance
Electronic equipment requires the power supply specified for its reference, battery or mains depending on the model. Define component positions and access with the professionals responsible for installation.
Ask how maintenance components are reached and spare parts identified. Include planned tasks in the site maintenance record; touch-free use removes neither cleaning nor checks.
04
Compare long-term operation
Flow rate and running time must suit the use. Do not promise universal savings: results depend on settings, usage frequency and the installation being replaced.
For a public-facility project in Tunisia, prepare a usage brief and ask EDIFIS about offered variants. Confirm the configuration, components and documents before equipping multiple wash stations.
Before you decide
- Describe user actions.
- Read the precise stop behaviour.
- Plan power and access.
- Approve a complete configuration.
The essentials
Your questions, our guidance.
Does an electronic tap always stop immediately when hands are withdrawn?
Not necessarily. Some use timed operation; check the behaviour of the exact product.
Does touch-free operation remove the need for cleaning?
No. The surface, detection area and components specified in the instructions still require care.
