Why this sink tap earns its place
Hand wash stations live or die on one thing: whether people actually use them properly, and touch points are the enemy of that. The Aquarius solves it by being sensor operated — no handle to turn, no touch points to recontaminate the moment someone's washed hands leave the basin. That's the whole point of a sensor tap in a commercial kitchen or washroom: it removes the one step in the hand-wash routine that could undo the previous thirty seconds of scrubbing.
It's built in stainless steel, finished in silver, so it matches the rest of a stainless sink run without looking out of place, and it's compact — 70mm high, 50mm wide and 190mm deep, weighing a little over a kilogram. The 150mm reach gives enough clearance over a standard hand wash basin without the tap dominating a tight space.
Flow is integrated and controlled at up to five litres per minute — enough for a quick, thorough hand wash without wasting water or overwhelming a small basin. It comes complete with a 15mm PEX hose, so first-fix plumbing is straightforward rather than a separate parts hunt. KWC DVS back it with a 5-year warranty, which is a serious commitment for a component that's switched on constantly through service.
