In times of rising water and energy costs, electronic faucets that reduce water consumption are becoming increasingly popular. The user-friendly, energy-saving SCHELL electronic faucets not only reduce water consumption by 70%, but can also be combined with the intelligent SWS water management system. They are also very easy to install, so they can be installed in any building. With the use of a special aerator in MODUS E bathroom faucets, a low flow rate of just 1.3 l/min can be achieved. Touchless tap activation also helps to reduce water consumption for washing fitting bodies.

What are the benefits of Schell electronic batteries?
Infrared-controlled fittings are now widely used in both commercial and residential buildings. Good quality, durable touchless faucets with intelligent functions provide many benefits. These include not only reducing daily water consumption and increasing hygiene in use, but also maintaining optimal drinking water quality and caring for the environment.
Not to mention the prestigious appearance of the electronic tap and maximum ease of use. Despite the fact that this type of tap is slightly more expensive, e.g. compared to a single-lever tap, it pays off over time in the form of lower water bills, greater comfort of use and a sense of security. The intelligent bathroom taps SCHELL XERIS E, MODUS E and GRANDIS E guarantee fully sustainable water and energy management.
How does a touchless faucet work?
Water flows out when you bring your hand closer 
to the sensor of the touchless faucet and closes automatically when it is removed. Thanks to this, water flows only when it is needed and in the amount that is optimal for washing hands. In this respect, these models save the amount of water used.
In this case, savings go hand in hand with comfort, because thanks to the built-in mixer or thermostat, the water temperature can be adjusted to individual needs. There are also electronic faucets, the flow of which is limited to the minimum required in environmental certification programs such as LEED or BREEAM. Such stringent savings requirements are met, for example, by MODUS E washbasin faucets.
How to reduce water consumption with a touchless faucet?
When using a special aerator 
a low flow rate of just 1.3 l/min can be achieved. Touchless activation of the tap also contributes to reducing water consumption for washing the fitting bodies. The carefully profiled surfaces of SCHELL brass taps are also very easy to clean. For example, the MODUS E or XERIS E models have been given perfectly smooth surfaces and shapes that facilitate water flow, which prevents unsightly streaks.
The fashion for saving and hygiene has made electronic faucets find application not only in the bathroom but also in the kitchen . The GRANDIS E kitchen faucet was created with such applications in mind. The well-thought-out solution combines electronic and manual mode. Thanks to infrared control, it ensures rational use of water during short hygienic activities, such as washing hands or rinsing fruit.
How to install an electronic battery?
Contrary to appearances, electronic batteries are not 
always require a separate connection to the electrical installation. SCHELL washbasin taps can be installed at any time and in any room thanks to the versions powered by alkaline batteries , which only need to be connected to the water installation.
Their energy-saving electronic modules consume only 0.3 W of energy in standby mode, so the batteries do not require frequent replacement.
Considering that this type of touchless tap reduces water consumption by up to 70% compared to traditional single-lever taps, the balance is still very good. Easy installation of SCHELL taps is plug & play. Each one is factory-programmed and ready to use.
Software for Schell electronic batteries
If adjustments are needed to suit the type of building or the way rooms are used, you can also easily make individual settings for range, flow time and even program automatic anti-stagnation flushes after a specified period of time since the last use. Programming is done manually or using a smartphone and the SSC Bluetooth® module connected to the battery.
The greatest possibilities are provided by the SWS water management system, which networks all electronic fittings in a building via a central server. This allows them to be centrally programmed, monitored and their water and energy consumption controlled. SCHELL electronic fittings are the perfect combination of modern electronics with a solid construction, making them durable.
