“Smart” Faucets and Conscious Water Consumption
The Sica Inox Electronic Faucet combines real water savings with contactless hygiene. The sensor releases the flow only when necessary and stops it within seconds. This way, you reduce waste and keep your routine safer — even in high-traffic areas, clinics, laboratories, and professional kitchens. Real water savings without effort With the sensor, water flows only during rinsing. Then, the flow stops automatically. Therefore, consumption can drop by up to 70%. In addition, you avoid someone forgetting the faucet open. The result is predictable: lower costs and more efficient operation. Discover the options in our stainless steel faucet line and, for critical areas, the hospital faucets. Contactless hygiene for critical areas Without touch, there is less risk of cross-contamination. This is essential for asepsis routines. Therefore, it is worth integrating the electronic faucet into specific solutions such as automatic faucet sinks, wall sinks, and asepsis sinks. This way, the process becomes standardized and safe. Where the technology is already integrated The Sica Inox Electronic Faucet equips, or can equip, several items in our portfolio. Among them: Hand Wash Sink, Sink 500–1, Sink 1500–2, Sink 2000–3, Individual Sink with Automatic Faucet, and the Triple Faucet. To compare models, access Sink and discover the automated sets that make daily life easier. To complete the project, consider hospital accessories and hospital worktops. This way, the workflow gains rhythm, and cleaning becomes simpler. Conscious consumption in daily life Although most of the planet is covered by water, only a small fraction is drinkable. In addition, reserves suffer from scarcity and contamination. The good news is that you don’t need to give up comfort to take care of this resource. Install sensor faucets in high-traffic areas, adjust cleaning routines to avoid waste, and, when possible, reuse water for non-potable uses. For clinical environments, combine the electronic faucet with the nursing and hospital expurgo lines. This way, materials and surfaces remain within required protocols. Next steps If the goal is to reduce waste, increase hygiene, and align your space with responsible practices, the Sica Inox Electronic Faucet is the right choice. Explore the available configurations, integrate with our sinks, and define the ideal set for your reality — from public service to asepsis areas, with efficiency and safety first.
Washbasins for Hand Asepsis: Standards and Essential Hygiene.
In any environment where hygiene is a fundamental pillar – such as hospitals, clinics, laboratories, industrial kitchens and even commercial establishments – the presence of hand-washing sinks is not just a convenience, but a crucial sanitary requirement. This equipment plays a vital role in preventing and controlling infections, thus protecting both professionals and users. Understanding the regulations governing their installation and characteristics is therefore essential to ensuring safety and compliance. Why does hand asepsis require specific sinks? Hand asepsis, whether simple sanitization with soap and water or surgical antisepsis, is the most effective measure for reducing the transmission of microorganisms. For this practice to be effective, washbasins specifically designed for this purpose are indispensable. Ordinary sinks may not meet the requirements for splash control, suitable materials or the functionality needed for a thorough and safe wash. Furthermore, in healthcare environments, the proximity and design of the washbasin directly influences the adherence of professionals to hand hygiene practices. The lack of an appropriate washbasin or its poor location can compromise safety. Consequently, the risk of cross-contamination and healthcare-related infections (HAIs) increases. Therefore, the correct choice is fundamental. Sanitary Standards for Washbasins: What You Need to Know Health standards, often dictated by bodies such as ANVISA (the National Health Surveillance Agency) in Brazil, are quite clear about the requirements for washbasins for hand asepsis, especially in health services. Below, we detail the key points: Suitable material and easy sanitization The most suitable and, in many cases, required material is stainless steel. This is because its surface is smooth and non-porous. This prevents the adhesion and proliferation of microorganisms. In addition, stainless steel is extremely easy to clean and disinfect, and resists corrosion by water and chemical cleaning and antiseptic products. As a result, it retains its hygienic properties for much longer. Non-Contact Manual Actuation: Preventing Recontamination To avoid recontamination of hands after washing, taps should be operated without manual contact. Models with: This ensures that, after washing, hands remain really clean.
