DELTA® INTRODUCES HYDROPOWER™ TECHNOLOGY
Another Smart Solution from Delta Faucet Company
Toronto, ON (April, 2010)
Just in time for Earth Day, Delta Faucet Company has introduced HydroPower™ Technology – an exciting alternative for powering electronic faucets. By harnessing the energy from water flowing through the faucet, HydroPower continually powers the faucet and captures power to recharge its battery pack. From a water-efficient lavatory faucet, HydroPower recharges its lithium ion battery pack allowing it to last up to 10 years. HydroPower can help contribute towards a LEED® project and is ideal for busy, high traffic commercial applications, such as airports, shopping malls, healthcare facilities and office buildings.
HydroPower™ is packed with Smart Solutions
• HydroPower utilizes a lithium ion battery pack – similar to those used in battery powered cars – that recharges itself with every use.
• The battery pack contains an on/off switch for battery conservation during seasonal usage, making it an ideal option for school installations.
• The electronics pack identifies the flow-rate and pressure to ensure the maximum charging capability from the generator.
“HydroPower™ Technology is a responsible choice for any public facility” says Peter Ashton, Business Development Manager for Delta Commercial products in Canada. “Finding alternate power is increasing in popularity because it replaces standard utility power and in doing so reduces operating costs.”
Availability
HydroPower™ Technology is available on several popular Delta Commercial models.
• 590T1120-HP – Single Hole Surface Mount Electronic Faucet
• 591T1220-HP – Center Surface Mount Electronic Faucet
• 1501T3370-HP – Surface Mount Electronic Faucet
• 3001T3320A-HP Surface Mount Electronic Faucet
HydroPower Technology can also be easily retrofitted on all Delta surface mount electronic TECK & HDF lavatory faucets by simply switching out the battery pack and installing the HydroPower™ Conversion Kit (Model# 062015A).
