MONOLITH ARES080 Automatic Mixer Sink

A professional sink that starts the water flow the moment hands are placed beneath the tap, eliminating the need to touch a handle or lever. The automatic mixer uses an electronic sensor to detect movement, activating the water supply instantly and shutting it off when hands are removed. This method reduces cross-contamination and conserves water by ensuring flow only when needed.

The sink operates entirely on battery power, removing the requirement for a nearby electrical outlet. This allows the unit to be positioned anywhere a water supply and waste pipe can be connected, without the constraints of fixed wiring. Installation is straightforward, requiring only a connection to the existing plumbing and the insertion of batteries to power the sensor and valve.

The operator simply places hands under the tap to start the water flow, adjusting temperature and pressure at the mains supply if needed. No manual controls are present on the sink itself, as the mixer responds solely to the sensor's input. The absence of a siphon means one must be fitted separately to comply with drainage regulations.

Constructed from stainless steel, the sink resists corrosion and withstands the demands of a busy kitchen environment. The battery compartment is sealed to prevent water ingress, ensuring reliable operation even in wet conditions.

Cleaning involves wiping down the stainless steel surfaces with a damp cloth and mild detergent, avoiding abrasive materials that could damage the finish. The sensor lens should be kept clear of debris to maintain accurate detection. Batteries will require periodic replacement, with frequency depending on usage.
