Sensor Urinal - A Full Guide

With advanced technology these days, the world is evolving at godspeed. Every small thing has some technology in it. Artificial intelligence is overpowering human intelligence, but for good! From your automatic car to your sensor urinals, everything has technology in it. Sensor urinals! Yes, you heard it just right. Technology has entered your private thinking space now! In this blog, we are going to discuss what sensor urinals are, how they work, why people prefer buying sensor urinals these days, and what are its advantages.



What are Sensor Urinals?

Sensor urinals, as the name suggests, are urinals that have sensors in them. Sensor urinals, also known as auto-flush urinals, are a feature that is available for toilets and urinals. These urinals have sensors that detect when someone is standing in front of the urinal, and when an individual moves away, the flush system activates- automatically. This system is touch-free, so they are more commonly found in workplaces and public restrooms. Another reason why people prefer sensor urinals is because the importance of maintaining hygiene has gotten very clear in the minds of people.

How does a Sensor Urinal Work?

A sensor urinal has an infrared sensor that detects when someone is standing close to it. When the sensor detects someone standing in front of it, and when someone moves away, the flush system activates automatically. It is a no-touch system, and so the hygiene is maintained! Now, let us discuss why people Prefer sensor urinals over manual urinals.


Sensor Urinals VS Manual Urinals

Out of the two, people prefer using sensor urinals because of the following reasons:

  • Hygiene 
  • No-touch system
  • Less wastage of water
  • The advantage of technology 
  • Adds to the aesthetic value of the space

Advantages of Sensor Urinals

There are several advantages of having sensory urinals. Let's discuss them in detail. 

  • Proper sanitation and cleanliness: With a sensor urinal, you can be confident that everything is cleaned automatically and thoroughly without using your hands. Even if a person forgets to flush, the auto flush feature will take care of it.
  • Long life expectancy: Because it is hands-free, there is minimal wear and tear and no mishandling, which reduces the possibility of damage. Less damage extends the life of sensor urinals. 
  • Water waste reduction: The main advantage of sensor urinals is that they detect movement and flush only when necessary, reducing water waste. There will always be a time delay between flushes, preventing the user from flushing repeatedly.
  • Effortless usage: These are very simple to use units for the elderly and young children because they completely flush the waste material while maintaining hygiene, as opposed to traditional flush systems, which sometimes do incomplete flushing. A user of any age or height need not be concerned about being unable to reach the flush button or even forgetting to flush; the auto flush feature is a blessing.

With these advantages, we have figured out that sensor urinals are specifically used to maintain hygiene and avoid germs, bacteria, and the spread of deadly diseases. Another reason is also to save water, which is very important these days.  AGL offers two aesthetically designed sensor urinals named Fisher and Senso. These are very famous amongst the general public and they use for their numerous advantages. The advancement in technology and trends demands us to walk with it, which is why we would suggest you buy it. It will not only add a touch of technology to your bathroom but also add aesthetic value to your washroom's interior. 


FAQs

When your urinal won't stop running, it could be due to a faulty or contaminated diaphragm, which is located near the top of the urinal. In majority of the cases, you can fix it yourself. If possible, turn off the main water line (in case of a more serious problem).

A controlled stop is an on/off valve that can be found in a closet or urinal flushometer. When properly installed, it works by allowing or preventing water from entering the flushometer. A common misunderstanding is that a controlled stop is also a regulator.

The urinal sensor is linked to a solenoid valve that is directly connected to the urinal water feed pipe. The infrared sensor detects movement near the urinals and then allows a small amount of water to fill the urinal cistern.

The automatic toilet flusher employs active infrared sensor technology, which detects the presence and movement of objects or people in their field of detection by emitting and receiving infrared beams. The sensor is regulates once it detects the body. When people leave, the water is automatically flushed.
