What properties does Simpolo’s Urinal Sensor have?

Our automatic urinal flush sensor has excellent antibacterial properties, with heat-resistant and easy-to-clean features. The urinal sensors are made from a material that lasts long, making them ideal for long-term use.

Which product of yours from the bathware has urinal sensors?

Our urinal with sensor flush comes in two different products- Kelos and Sfera, made from highly durable materials in different shapes that complement any bathroom decor.

Are urinal sensors suitable for all commercial restrooms?

While generally compatible with most commercial urinals, sensor selection must consider user traffic, urinal design, installation environment, and maintenance capabilities. Some retrofit projects may require specific sensor types or mounting adaptations.

What maintenance is required for automatic urinal sensors?

Routine maintenance includes cleaning sensor lenses, replacing batteries as required, checking water supply and flush valve integrity, and troubleshooting sensor misfires. Avoid harsh chemicals and schedule professional maintenance for complex repairs.

Can urinal sensors reduce water consumption significantly?

Yes. By triggering flush only post-use and preventing unnecessary flushing, urinal sensors can reduce water use by up to 30-50% compared to manual systems, contributing substantially to sustainability efforts.

Urinal Sensor for Touchless Flushing & Hygiene

Simpolo’s urinal sensors are ceramic, made for higher durability and reduced maintenance. Its water-saving design, improved sanitation and hygiene, and water conservation with anti-bacterial and anti-viral properties lead to the best automatic urinal sensor for touchless flushing and hygiene. Kelos and Sfera are sleek, durable, and functional and come with a sensor mechanism.Urinal sensors have revolutionized restroom hygiene by introducing hands-free flush technology that enhances sanitation and conserves water. An automatic urinal sensor detects user interaction and triggers the flushing mechanism without the need for physical contact, making restrooms more hygienic and eco-friendly. Modern urinal sensor systems reduce water consumption while improving user convenience, maintenance ease, and operational efficiency.

Whether for commercial buildings, offices, or public spaces, investing in reliable urinal sensors is a smart choice to elevate restroom sanitation and support sustainable water use.

What is a Urinal Sensor and How Does it Work?

Urinal Sensors are devices made to control the flushing mechanism for urinals that do not require manual operation. These are significant for better hygiene- no contact with the flush or handles leads to less spread of bacteria and viruses. Urinal automatic sensors operate through various mechanisms, including changes in temperature, motion, and sound waves. The urinal sensors at Simpolo sense motion. When a person stands in front of a urinal, it senses and starts flushing when they move away, and the urinal starts flushing.

Automatic Urinal Sensor

An automatic urinal sensor specifically refers to smart, touchless flushers that use sensors to activate the flush valve automatically. They often come integrated with advanced features such as adjustable flushing time, delay settings, and battery or hardwired power options, ensuring seamless operation and minimal maintenance.

Types of Urinal Sensors

There are many types of automatic urinal sensors available for urinals. The main types of urinal sensors for toilet available are-

Infrared Motion Sensors- This is the most commonly used sensor for urinal automatic sensors. The heat changes caused by the body during the movement are detected through changes in infrared radiation. Hence, when a person approaches a urinal, the body heat creates a temperature difference that triggers the motion-sensor urinal flush.
Ultrasonic Sensors- Unlike infrared, which detects temperature, these sensors detect sound waves. These wall-mounted urinal sensors are less common but are appropriate. They detect the presence and movement based on the change in waves.
Capacitive Sensors- They detect through electrical field capacity. It creates an electrical field around the sensor. When a human comes, it alters the frequency and is highly sensitive to proximity. Capacitive sensors are generally used in combination with other sensors.
Battery-Operated Sensors: Wireless and easy to install; suitable for retrofit projects where wiring is difficult. Battery life usually ranges from 1 to 3 years.
Hardwired Sensors: Connected to building power with low-voltage transformers; ideal for new constructions with easier accessibility to electrical wiring.

Each sensor type comes with unique advantages tailored to varying installation requirements, user traffic, and maintenance capabilities.

Benefits of Automatic Urinal Sensors

Installing automatic urinal sensors offers multiple advantages critical for modern restrooms:

Improved Hygiene: Touchless activation limits germ transmission by eliminating the need to touch flush handles or buttons, reducing the risk of cross-contamination.
Water Conservation: Sensors flush only when needed, preventing unnecessary water waste from manual or continuous flushing, supporting sustainability goals.
Reduced Maintenance: Automated flushing reduces overflows and clogs and decreases manual labor involved in restroom upkeep.
Enhanced User Experience: Users enjoy a cleaner, convenient restroom environment with reliable and instant flush activation.
Cost Savings: Conserving water and minimizing repairs lowers operational costs, providing strong ROI over time.
Regulatory Compliance: Sensor-operated restrooms can meet local environmental and water usage regulations.
Technology Innovation: Modern sensors include smart features such as adjustable flush timing, energy-saving modes, and integration with smart building systems.

Installation of Automatic Urinal Sensors

Measure urinal dimensions, wall construction, and identify the power source
Ensure the sensor is placed properly at the correct angle
Consider the type of auto urinal flusher and the installation requirements according to the urinals
Check if it is wired or a battery sensor
Connect the inlet and outlet hoses to the sensor of the auto urinal flusher
Ensure the touchless toilet sensor is routed properly before installing the urinal
This section will outline the basic installation process and maintenance steps. It will briefly mention things like sensor positioning, power source setup, and cleaning for long-term performance.

Urinal Sensor vs Manual Flushing: Which Is Better?

Urinal automatic sensor and manual flushing both have their own benefits and disadvantages, find which one is better from the following table-

Features	Urinal Sensor	Manual Flushing
Define	Detects user presence and activates flushing without physical touch	Require to flush the toilet manually
Hygeine	Reduces cross-contamination and the chances of bacterial colonisation	Higher risk of contamination and increased viral transmission
Water Usage	Controlled flush volume, with precise flush timings	No control over the flush, leading to higher water consumption
Maintenance	Electronic components are reliable, and the issue can be identified by self-check	Requires frequent replacement of components
User Experience	Convenient automatic control	Requires motor control

Maintenance Tips for Urinal Sensors

The sensor-type urinal does not require higher maintenance and is easy to maintain, as they have sensors! A few maintenance tips to keep automatic urinal sensors clean-

Inspect daily for malfunctioning of the sensor
Test if the basic operations are proper or not
Clean the sensors with a soft, damp cloth
Tighten the loose screws, if any
Inspect the urinal sensor fitting for damage or corrosion
Check unusual sounds during the urinal auto flush sensor
Ensure all the electrical connections are tight
