TOUCHLESS TAPS
Whereas conventional infrared sensors measure the
amount of light reflected, the PSD sensor technology
used by HANSA relies on an angle measurement of
the deflected light. The tap can therefore respond
accurately to the user’s hand and its position in the
space. The water release is even more reliable and
entirely independent of surrounding influences.
The integrated chip, i.e. the “brain” of the sensor
system, ensures high performance capacity. The
special feature: It is built into the housing, which
means that no black box is required outside the
body and there is no obstacle to straightforward
installation. At the same time, the chip allows
subsequent customisation, such that the development
of different hardware versions and additional parts
becomes superfluous. The advantage is obvious:
a high level of flexibility with no inconvenient
installation constraints.
The unit, comprising sensor system, signal processing
and electromechanics, is designed as energy-efficiently
as possible. Battery-supported applications are
therefore also possible, which in turn are ideal for
retrofaucet, as a separate power supply is not required.
This magic word in digitalisation means the technical
possibility of adjusting settings and exchanging data.
However, as securing connectivity with a power supply
requires greater alterations if in doubt, which could
already spell the end of such electronic faucets, HANSA
uses a more flexible solution: Connection via Bluetooth
ensures independence in any installation environment.
The architecture of the modern low-energy concept is
designed for maximum energy efficiency at the same
time as secure and stable connections.

A GEM IN THE BATHROOM
AXOR introduces AXOR Edge – a luxurious symbiosis of geometrical
bodies and an ultraprecise manufacturing method. The collection
transcends boundaries in aesthetics and technology: asymmetrically
combined cubes yield an impressive gem. With a diamond manufacturing
process, ultraprecise edges and plains result. Partially refined with a fine
texture and personalisable with a selection of AXOR FinishPlus polished
surfaces, AXOR Edge is available for the washbasin, the bathtub, the bidet,
and with thermostat modules for the shower.
AXOR Edge is massive and delicate all at once: symmetry of plains and
edges asymmetrically combined. Partially enriched with a fine texture,
the three-dimensional faucet is a new kind of haptic experience with a
maximum of lustre and radiance. For those who prefer a more minimalistic
appearance, AXOR Edge is also available without a partial texturing of
the surface. Manufactured at the highest technological levels with PVD (Physical Vapour
Deposition) in the vacuum chambers of the AXOR production plant. High-
tech that lends the surface power of resistance and longevity. But most of
all, unimagined radiance and a new chromaticity for luxurious bathrooms.
Personal refinement is available through seven polished AXOR FinishPlus
surface colours: from Polished Gold-Optic to Polished Black Chrome. For more information, please visit

VARIOUS CISTERN-INLET SOLUTION
The Wirquin Doblo Dual Telescopic Inlet valve, a new
product in Wirquin’s’ Inlet valve range, is a dual
entry inlet valve, suitable for back, side and bottom
inlet cisterns.
This is a great feature for plumbers, as it saves them
time between clients, by having a dual entry inlet valve
at the ready for any cistern they would encounter. This
can be interchanged with a simple screw action.

The Doblo is also focused on water saving with its
built-in delayed action float system, which will only
refill once the cistern is completely empty, saving
up to 7ℓ per day. Another feature is the extendable
½-inch plastic telescopic tailpiece to lengthen and
adjust to fit all water levels.
