This hands-free technology is particularly valuable in high-traffic commercial restrooms where hygiene is paramount, providing users with a more sanitary experience without requiring costly plumbing renovations.

Intelligent Sensor Technology: The advanced infrared sensor is calibrated to detect user presence and provide reliable activation every time. The 3-second delay flush ensures the user has completed using the fixture before activation, optimizing water efficiency while maintaining proper fixture cleaning. The optional 24-hour auto-flush feature prevents odors and staining during periods of non-use.
