🧩 Overview
Touchless faucet technology is now the norm for commercial facilities where efficiency, sanitation, and sustainability are a top priority. BathSelect is leading the way in bringing next-generation smart bathroom solutions to the marketplace and employs the latest infrared (IR) and Time-of-Flight (ToF) sensor technology into its faucet products. Following is an overview report of performance:
- Sensor activation speed & accuracy
- Infrared & radar (ToF) precision
- Spurious turns on resistance
- Water conservation impact
- Reliability of maintenance cycle
- Actual user satisfaction rates
⚙️ Sensor Technology: IR vs. ToF
What Are They?
- Infrared (IR): Sense the infrared light change when hands approach the faucet.
- Time-of-Flight (ToF): Travel time to strike an object—delivering highly accurate range measurement.
Why It Matters
| Technology | Strengths | Use Case |
|---|---|---|
| IR | Reliable in normal environments | Normal offices & bathrooms |
| ToF | Best accuracy & range accuracy | Mirror-covered or brightly lit rooms |
BathSelect employs each of these technologies separately or in combination in its two-sensor faucets to deliver the highest degree of accuracy for advanced applications.
🚀 Sensor Activation Performance
Speed & Detection Range
- Activation Time: less than 0.5 seconds
- Detection Range: 3–5 inches (ToF), 2–4 inches (IR)
- Adaptability: The sensors adjust automatically to lighting, motion, and other bathroom surfaces.
Real-World Accuracy
Independent testing and in-commerce real-world application validate these findings.
| Metric | Value |
|---|---|
| Activation Success | 98.5% (user-initiated events) |
| Missed Activations | Less than 1.5% |
| Delay or Lag Reports | Super quick—average delay is under 0.2 seconds. |

🔒 False Activation Resistance
Typical Issues (with other systems):
- Sunlight reflection or glint of mirror
- Passers-by
- Hand dryers or shiny objects nearby
BathSelect Solutions
- Dual-sensor logic: Both motion and near need to be detected
- AI chip: Background noise suppression
- ToF accuracy: Triggered at exact hand distance only
- Sealed lenses: Fog, soap, or hard water not activating
Performance Snapshot
| Setting | Pre-Install False Activation | Post-Install with BathSelect |
|---|---|---|
| Public restrooms | 6–10% | < 2.5% |
| Mirror-heavy restrooms | Up to 15% | < 0.7% (ToF models) |
