Power
Most use AA batteries that last several months, and some have USB rechargeable cells. Commercial units may have mains adapters. Choose a model with a low-battery indicator.
Sensor and dose
Look for a sensor range of 3 to 8 centimetres, adjustable dose and reliable response. Poor sensors miss hands or trigger by themselves. Test in the shop if possible.
Waterproofing and hygiene
Choose a unit with splash protection, and keep it away from direct tap spray. Clean the nozzle, tray and sensor window regularly. Use soap suited to foam dispensers, since thick soap clogs.
Mounting
Fix wall units at 100 to 120 centimetres, near the basin and clear of the tap spray, with plugs and screws. Counter units need a flat dry spot. Fixed plumbing should be done by a licensed plumber.
For shops and offices
Choose a lockable tank with a window to see the level, and standard refill packs. Budget for soap, batteries and cleaning.
What to check before buying
- Type. Foam or liquid
- Power. Battery or USB
- Sensor. Reliable, adjustable
- Capacity. Fits the use
Manual or automatic
Automatic units are cleaner and waste less, while manual pumps are cheaper and need no power. See liquid soap dispensers for pump types.
Before you decide
Pick foam or liquid, check the power and sensor and fix it clear of spray. An automatic soap dispenser is a hygienic upgrade for any washroom. Keep spare batteries and a refill pack on hand, and test the sensor after cleaning, since moisture on the window can cause false triggers.
