The COVID pandemic has necessitated a rethink of workplaces. Within shared workspaces there are typically 43 common touchpoints with potential to increase risk of transmission. This has affected employee confidence in the safety of shared workspaces and returning to the office.
The Zip Water Touch-Free Wave tap is the contactless solution of the Classic tap. The design uses proprietary smart sensor technology to detect hand motions for activation. You simply hold your hand within 1.5-5cm of the smart infra-red sensor for your selected water option indicated by intuitive icons. Direct contact with the tap will not operate it.
