Delta’s newest hands free technology in two contemporary styled electronic faucets

Toronto, ON (July, 2009)

Introducing Delta Faucet Company’s newest hands free technology – Proximity™ Sensing Technology.  This unique sensing technology forms a 4” field around the body of the faucet and once the users hand enters the field, the faucet is turned on.  When the user removes their hands from the water stream, the faucet turns off within 2 seconds.  The designs, free of optics and infrared, are easy to maintain due to their clean lines and are able to fit into a variety of designed spaces.

Proximity™ Sensing Technology has been added to two of Delta’s most popular faucet styles: Arzo™ and Grail™.  Both faucet bodies are constructed of solid brass and have a smart, modern design that continues to be a highly sought after style for public facilities. 

Installation has been made very user friendly by designing the product to self-calibrate once it has been installed.  The surface mount control box makes it easy to access the controlls for installation and routine facility maintenance.

“The combination of Delta’s Proximity™ Sensing technology and the Arzo™ and Grail™ spout designs are a perfect combination for today’s market” says Peter Ashton, Business Development Manager for Delta Commercial products in Canada. “Smart technology paired with relevant designs plus being backed by Delta’s history of creating trusted commercial grade products, make this technology and these faucet styles winners all around.”
