At this time of maximum emergency crisis for COVID-19, which is sparing no country, IDRAL is there to provide its contribution in terms of measures to be taken to safeguard users of public toilets and hospitals.
As many of you know, COVID-19 is transmitted through contact between people who carry the virus. The primary route is through the breath droplets of infected people, but another very common way of becoming infected is by touching contaminated surfaces and bringing your hands to your mouth, nose and eyes. We all know, moreover, that it is always a good idea to wash our hands frequently and thoroughly after touching potentially soiled objects and surfaces, especially in public spaces or healthcare facilities where the risk of contagion is very high. But then the question arises: how can I wash my hands without touching potentially contaminated surfaces?
The answer is the use of self-closing taps and dispensers, i.e. that do not require you to touch any surface with your hands after washing them.

At Idral we have been designing and producing specific solutions for public bathrooms for 50 years, and we have always known that the priority in these spaces is hygiene. We are able to offer you different solutions to guarantee the safety of the user, which in this moment is more important than ever. Here are a few suggestions to respond to the danger of contagion in public spaces:
Electronic multifunctional taps, urinals and washbasins
These devices require no contact to open or close the flow of water and soap, as they are activated through an infrared cell that intercepts the presence of the person. They are definitely the ideal answer in circumstances where we do not want users to come into contact with contaminated surfaces, especially in spaces where there is a lot of people traffic. They are also the best solution to reduce water waste and save costs.
Electronic taps with automatic flushing
Health has never been more important than in these extraordinary circumstances. That is why we suggest considering electronic taps with automatic flushing, which not only prevent cross-contamination between users, but also reduce the proliferation of germs inside the taps, such as legionella, which is potentially deadly to humans. Legionella develops in stagnant water and thanks to automatic flushing the flow is activated, preventing the water from standing still for more than 24 hours.
Timed taps
This solution only requires you to press the button with your hands to open the flow, but the closing is done automatically after washing your hands. They are an inexpensive, but very effective solution for ensuring hygiene after use.
Foot-operated taps
Foot-operated taps are an economical and functional solution for not having to use your hands to open the water as the control is activated with your feet. They are ideal for small spaces or professional kitchens.
Clinical lever taps
In the case of clinical lever progressive thermostatic mixers, the same lateral movement opens the water flow and regulates the temperature and is activated with the elbow. They are a solution designed especially for hospitals, where healthcare personnel not only do not have to touch the faucet, but need freedom of movement.
We are happy to put our expertise at your disposal and contribute to people's safety and hygiene.
