How Touchless Faucet Sensors Work
Infrared vs. Time‐of‐Flight (ToF) Technology
BathSelect includes sophisticated infrared (IR) sensors with AI smart-chips and Time‑of‑Flight (ToF) sensors in some models to accurately read distance
Water is turned off when hands take off or time out
Dual-Sensor Design
The majority of BathSelect models use proximity and motion sensors powered by AI chips for fewer misfires and responsiveness.
Sensor Accuracy & Activation Speed
Activation Response Time
The test is recorded to identify activation times below 0.5 seconds with ranges at 3–4 inches. ToF sensors take it one step further with accuracy.
Accuracy in Business Applications
Fontana benchmark reports spectacular reductions of false activation (25% → 5%) and missed activation (15% → 1.5%), and up to 92% end-user satisfaction. BathSelect preserves the same performance based on the same technology.
Resistance to False Activations
Resistance to random triggers:
Stopping moving objects
Light interference
Other IR devices (e.g., soap dispensers)
BathSelect uses AI logic and ToF to minimize areas of activation, eliminating interference and reflections.
Cost Savings due to Sensor Accuracy
Waste Reduction through Accuracy
Genuine commercial use of BathSelect faucets realizes 35–40% mean water savings, and up to 70% in specific applications. This is through:
Rapid sensor response
Rapid shut-off logic
Low-flow aeration
Maintenance Cycles & Reliability
Sensor Longevity & Durability
BathSelect faucets have solid brass body, 3–5 year warranties, and 3-year battery life. Less than 5% of units require annual recalibration.
False Activation Correction
False activation is rare and typically fixed through firmware revisions or recalibration.
Changes User Experience & Real-Life Response
Tenant & Architect Feedback
90%+ user satisfaction evidenced by cleanliness and usability surveys. Architects like precision and clean design.
