Advantages of SCHELL infrared-controlled fittings
Infrared-controlled fittings are now used not only in public buildings, but also in residential buildings, due to their practical advantages. Not only do they reduce water consumption and ensure maximum hygiene of use, but they also look prestigious and are easy to use.
This is demonstrated by the SCHELL XERIS E or MODUS E faucets, which combine designer looks with practical functions. Advanced electronic modules are equipped with intelligent programs that prevent the growth of dangerous microorganisms. Due to their rich functionality, electronic faucets are used not only in bathrooms, but also in kitchens.
Thanks to the availability of battery and mains versions, they are very easy to install, so they can be installed in existing buildings. However, wherever electronic fittings cannot be used, self-closing batteries and SCHELL control valves are a good solution.
Exemplary hygiene and savings
Electronic faucets allow for a significant reduction in water consumption, thanks to infrared control and a small flow volume, which in the case of the SCHELL XERIS E faucet is only 3 l/min. The fitting is activated when the hand approaches the sensor and closes automatically when it is removed.
Thanks to this, water flows only when needed and in the amount required for rinsing hands. This eliminates waste during hand washing and water flow regulation. In this case, savings go hand in hand with safety and convenience, as the tap has a built-in mixer or thermostat. SCHELL's offer also includes electronic taps, the flow of which has been limited to the necessary minimum required in environmental certification programs such as LEED or BREEAM.
Strict requirements in this area are met, for example, by MODUS E washbasin taps with a special aerator that reduces the flow to just 1.3 l/min. Touchless activation also translates into reduced water consumption for washing fittings. Perfectly smooth surfaces and streamlined shapes are easy to clean and facilitate water drainage, which eliminates the problem of unsightly streaks. That is why electronic taps can now also be found in kitchens, where sterile cleanliness is an absolute requirement. The GRANDIS E kitchen tap was created with such applications in mind.
Hygienic cleanliness thanks to touchless start-up
The unique SCHELL GRANDIS E kitchen tap combines a traditional single-lever mechanism with intelligent infrared control. Thanks to the touchless start-up, both the hands and the housing remain clean. This not only increases the hygiene of use, but also reduces the possibility of transferring dirt and pathogenic microorganisms. The high functionality of the product results from carefully thought-out design solutions, such as a spout rotation limiter or the possibility of choosing a variant for mains power supply or alkaline batteries.
The GRANDIS E fitting also features the automatic anti-stagnation flush programme that is typical of most SCHELL electronic fittings. This function benefits both individual users and building managers. Regular flushing of the system prevents the growth of potentially dangerous bacteria. The intelligent solution can be easily combined with the SCHELL SWS water management system.

Well thought out solutions for every building
Thanks to the availability of a mains-powered version, SCHELL batteries can be installed at any time and in any room. All you need to do is connect the fitting to the water installation. The energy-saving electronic modules consume only 0.3 Watts of energy in standby mode, which means that the batteries do not need to be replaced frequently. The easy installation of SCHELL batteries is done in plug & play mode. Each of them is factory-programmed and ready to use.
If you need to adapt the solution to the type of building or the way rooms are used, you can easily enter individual settings for range, flow time or program automatic anti-stagnation flushing. 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 management system, which connects all electronic fittings into a network. This allows for their central programming, monitoring of operation and control of water and energy consumption.
Central management of intelligent fittings
The innovative SCHELL SWS water management system enables networking, programming and monitoring of all SCHELL electronic fittings, such as washbasin and shower taps, WC and urinal cisterns. With the option of programming stagnation rinsing and periodic thermal disinfection, the solution ensures maximum hygiene of the drinking water installation, while at the same time ensuring its ecological and economical use.
The amount of water used to flush the installation has been reduced to the necessary minimum. By conducting a full review of water and energy consumption, you can assess what costs and savings are associated with the operation of electronic fittings, and then perform the necessary optimization activities. The ideal complement to the SWS water management system is the SMART.SWS cloud service. With a clear and intuitive panel at your disposal, the user can review the parameters of water installations at any time and in several different places.
buildings at once.
Economic regulation
Wherever the use of electronic fittings is not possible, it is worth considering the installation of self-closing taps, such as the new MODUS SC tap, which provides up to 65% savings compared to single-lever taps. You can also use the simplest and most effective way to save water, which is the installation of SCHELL COMFORT control valves. They allow for the initial restriction of water flow before it reaches the draw-off point. Easy regulation is carried out using the handy COMFORT knob.
SCHELL valves are made of materials resistant to corrosive water and have a special lubrication chamber that protects their mechanism from seizure. As a result, they operate smoothly and do not fail even after many years. Adjusting the flow using SCHELL COMFORT control valves brings savings of up to 40%.
