Case Studies & Stats

Practical, real-world style examples showing what touchless faucet upgrades can deliver. Figures below are representative project outcomes and modeled ranges—use them to estimate impact before you buy.


Case Studies (Modeled + Representative)

Boutique Hotel Retrofit — 48 Rooms

Scope: guest baths & public restrooms · Power: mixed (battery & AC) · Mixers: thermostatic

Water Use
−25% vs. baseline

Service Calls
−38% (loose handles eliminated)

Guest Feedback
4.7★ avg (cleanliness mentions ↑)
Payback
~18–24 months (water + maintenance)

Metric Before After
Avg. faucet runtime / activation 9.5 s 6.8 s
Annual maintenance events 63 39
Battery swaps (yr 1) — 22

Notes: runtime reduction primarily from auto-off; ensured ADA clearances and mixing temperature limits.

Outpatient Clinics — 6 Sites

Scope: patient & staff restrooms · Power: AC · Anti-vandal aerators

Water Use
−29% vs. baseline

Hygiene Events
Handwash duration +11%
False Triggers
<2% after tuning
Payback
~14–20 months

Metric Before After
Avg. GPM (effective) 1.2 0.8
Sensor misfires / month — 3–5
Hot water scald incidents 2 / yr 0

Notes: duration measured by sink occupancy sensors; results influenced by staff training and signage.

K-12 Schools — 3 Campuses

Scope: student restrooms · Power: battery · Tamper-resistant install

Water Use
−33% vs. baseline

Maintenance
−41% work orders

Battery Life
~18–24 months
Payback
~12–18 months

Metric Before After
Left-on incidents / week 17 <1
Clog/aerator cleanings / term 12 6

Notes: biggest gains from eliminating “left-on” taps; periodic filter flushes kept sensors stable.

Multifamily High-Rise — 220 Units

Scope: bathrooms in occupied building · Power: battery → AC (phased)

Water Use
−21% common area, −12% in-unit

Resident Calls
−28% fixture-related tickets

CapEx Offset
Green rebate applied
Payback
~24–30 months

Metric Before After
Avg. activation / day (common) 220 240
Effective flow rate 1.0 gpm 0.5–0.8 gpm

Notes: tenant education + signage improved outcomes; AC conversion stabilized sensor performance long-term.

Restaurant Group — 9 Locations

Scope: guest restrooms · Power: AC · Finish: matte black

Water Use
−27% vs. baseline

Cleanliness Scores
+0.5★ in public reviews
Downtime
<1% after quarter 2
Payback
~10–16 months

Metric Before After
Avg. restroom complaints / mo 12 5
Sensor misfires / mo — 4

Notes: standardized aerators and scheduled wipe-downs reduced residue that can affect IR sensors.

Stats & Benchmarks (Planning Ranges)

KPI Typical Range How to Use It
Water use reduction vs. manual 12–35% Use 20–25% for conservative ROI calc (auto-off + lower effective flow).
False-trigger rate (after tuning) <1–3% Adjust sensor range & reflectivity; stabilize lighting to reduce spikes.
Battery life (alkaline) 12–24 months Traffic + activation length drive variance; log swaps per fixture.
Effective flow (touchless lav) 0.35–0.8 gpm Match aerator to use case; clinics trend 0.5–0.8 gpm.
Payback period 10–30 months Blend water/sewer rates, maint. savings, rebates, and install costs.
Maintenance call reduction 20–45% Fewer loose handles/cartridge issues; keep filters/aerators clean.

These ranges combine internal modeling and representative project outcomes. Always validate against your local water/sewer rates and usage patterns.
