Benefits of Sensor Taps in the Healthcare Industry

In healthcare facilities across Australia, maintaining hygiene standards is non-negotiable. AutoFlo produce a range of sensor taps for use in most healthcare settings, helping reduce infection risks, improving water efficiency, while complying with stringent protocols.

One of the go-to options in clinical settings is the Integrated Gooseneck Sensor Tap by AutoFlo. This model features an infrared sensor seamlessly integrated into the spout, reducing the chances of false triggering and making it ideal for sensitive environments.

With a low 4.5 L/min flow rate and a six-star WELS efficiency rating, it's both hygienic and eco-conscious.

In patient bathrooms and public washrooms, AutoFlo’s Pillar Glow Sensor Tap is frequently specified. Its glowing light ring not only provides an elegant aesthetic but also ensures totally touch-free operation, which is essential to prevent cross-contamination.

These taps bring a host of benefits to healthcare environments. Firstly, by removing the need to touch handles, sensor taps dramatically reduce the spread of germs — a critical factor in preventing healthcare-associated infections. There’s no contact with surfaces that may harbour bacteria, which is especially important in wards, operating theatres, and waiting rooms.

Secondly, water efficiency is a major plus. AutoFlo sensor taps can reduce water usage by up to 60% compared with traditional taps, thanks to automatic shut-off and fixed flow settings.

In a busy hospital, that adds up to considerable savings, both for the environment and the facility’s budget.

Another advantage in a healthcare setting is accessibility. Sensor taps support patients with reduced mobility or dexterity, as they eliminate the need to twist or push traditional levers.

Moreover, AutoFlo’s multi-tap systems can be powered via their Multicoupler-9 modules, which provide battery backup in case of power outages.

This ensures reliability even during emergencies, maintaining functioning taps when it matters most.

With Australian design and manufacturing behind the range, AutoFlo Sensor Taps deliver quality that meets rigorous Australian standards.

For hospitals and other medical settings, AutoFlo’s sensor taps represent a smart investment in safety, efficiency, and patient wellbeing.
