🧩 Overview
Touchless faucet technology is now the norm in commercial properties where efficiency, sanitation, and sustainability are top priorities. BathSelect, which specializes in providing next-generation smart restroom technologies, brings cutting-edge infrared (IR) and Time-of-Flight (ToF) sensor technology to its faucet portfolio. This report provides a performance insight into:
- Sensor activation speed & accuracy
- Infrared & radar (ToF) precision
- Resistance to spurious turns on
- Conservation of water effect
- Reliability of maintenance cycle
- Actual user satisfaction percentages
⚙️ Sensor Technology: IR vs. ToF
What Are They?
- Infrared (IR): Sense changes in reflected infrared radiation when place hands near faucet.
- Time-of-Flight (ToF): Measure time light takes to reflect off a surface—making very accurate distance measurement possible.
Why It Matters
| Technology | Strengths | Use Case |
|---|---|---|
| IR | Robust in general environments | Common offices & bathrooms |
| ToF | Most accurate & range precision | Mirror-dense or well-lit rooms |
BathSelect uses each of these technologies individually or together in its dual-sensor faucets to provide the utmost accuracy in sophisticated uses.

🚀 Sensor Activation Performance
Speed & Detection Range
- Activation Time: Under 0.5 seconds
- Detection Range: 3–5 inches (ToF), 2–4 inches (IR)
- Adaptability: The sensors respond automatically to lighting, movement, and various restroom surfaces.
Real-World Accuracy
Independent testing and real in-commerce experience confirm 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
Usual Issues (with other systems):
- Sunlight glare or mirror reflections
- People walking by
- Hand dryers or shiny stuff nearby
BathSelect Solutions
- Dual-sensor logic: Needs both proximity and motion
- AI chip: Filters out background noise
- ToF accuracy: Activates only at the exact hand distance
- Sealed lenses: Stops fog, soap, or hard water from setting it off
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) |
