Sensor Taps
Sensor Taps (also called infrared taps or touchless basin taps) use a built-in sensor to detect hands under the spout and start the water flow. When you move away, the tap stops automatically. This reduces contact points, helps limit cross-contamination, and cuts down on water left running by accident.
