In times of rising water and energy costs, electronic batteries are becoming more and more popular to reduce their consumption. Convenient to use, 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. By using a special aerator in MODUS E bathroom faucets, you can achieve a low flow of only 1.3 l/min. Touchless tap activation also helps to reduce water consumption for cleaning the fittings 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, 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 fittings is slightly more expensive, e.g. compared to single-lever fittings, it pays off over time in the form of lower water bills, greater convenience of use and a sense of security. Smart SCHELL XERIS E, MODUS E and GRANDIS E bathroom faucets guarantee fully sustainable water and energy management.
How does a touchless faucet work?
Water flows out when you bring your hand closer to it 
to the touchless faucet sensor and closes automatically when removed. Thanks to this, water flows only when it is needed and in the amount optimal for washing hands. In this respect, these models save on the amount of water used.
In this case, savings go hand in hand with comfort, because thanks to the built-in mixer or thermostat, you can adjust the water temperature to your individual needs. There are also electronic batteries whose flow is limited to the minimum required in environmental certification programs such as LEED or BREEAM. MODUS E washbasin faucets meet such stringent savings requirements.
How to reduce water consumption with a touchless faucet?
Using a special aerator 
low flow of only 1.3 l/min can be achieved. Touchless tap actuation also helps to reduce water consumption for cleaning the fittings bodies. The carefully profiled surfaces of SCHELL brass taps are also very easy to clean. For example, the MODUS E and XERIS E models have perfectly smooth surfaces and shapes that facilitate the flow of water, which prevents the formation of unsightly stains.
The trend towards economy and hygiene means that electronic faucets are now used 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 modes. Thanks to infrared control, it ensures rational use of water during short hygiene activities, such as washing hands or rinsing fruit.
How to install an electronic battery?
Contrary to appearances, electronic batteries do 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.
Taking into account the fact that this type of touchless tap allows you to reduce water consumption by as much as 70% compared to traditional single-lever faucets, the balance is still very favorable. Easy installation of SCHELL batteries takes place in plug & play mode. Each of them is factory programmed and ready to use.
Software for Schell electronic batteries
If you need to adapt it to the type of building or how the rooms are used, you can also easily introduce individual settings for the range, flow time, and even program automatic anti-stagnation rinses 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 connects all electronic fittings elements in the building via a central server. This makes it possible to program them centrally, monitor their operation and control water and energy consumption. SCHELL electronic fittings are a perfect combination of modern electronics with a solid construction, making them long-lasting.
