by Rebecca Walker — September 20, 2010—Encore, a division of Component Hardware Group, Inc. (CHG), unveils the Hands-Free Electronic Faucet Adapter, which it says helps prevent cross-contamination and cut water consumption. This is the newest addition to Encore’s broad line of electronic faucets and accessories that offer a hygienic, hands-free alternative to standard faucets. This low cost adapter is ideal for post-construction hand sink applications in food service, healthcare and other commercial environments.
The Encore Hands-Free Electronic Faucet Adapter can help reduce water consumption by up to 70 percent by utilizing a reliable infrared sensor that instantly stops water flow when not in use. A manual on/off over-ride button provides instant flow to fill any container, while a preset three-minute automatic time-out feature minimizes the chance of overflow.
Employers, risk managers and infection control specialist appreciate the hygienic, hands-free feature and the fact that the Encore Hands-Free Electronic Faucet Adapter promotes thorough hand washing with a preset one-minute timer in auto sensor mode. Seniors and small children alike will also find operating easy, as the faucet turns on by simply placing hands underneath, even when both hands are full, says the company.
Converting any existing faucet into an automatic hands-free faucet takes less than five minutes, and the adapter fits on most standard faucets with aerators using a simple screw-on installation.
