The BC TAP is an under-sink water dispenser that provides hot and cold water. It incorporates several patented technologies, including the M638746 Floating Technology Light Sensor, the M585889 Intelligent Light Sensor Power Saving Sleep Mode, and the M591605 High-Tech LCD Touch Panel. For environmental protection and safety, this product features a power-saving sleep mode. It is constructed using low-carbon 316L medical-grade stainless steel for the heater, hot water tank, and ice water tank. The aim is to promote sustainable development and user-friendly design by integrating intelligent technology and environmentally friendly materials.

Given the rapid evolution of technology and the influence of the pandemic, our team is dedicated to developing a touch-enabled sensorized water dispenser faucet. This innovative faucet offers dual operation modes, which can be tailored to accommodate various user preferences and requirements. The sensorized design aims to minimize the transmission of viruses and bacteria by reducing the need for direct physical contact with the faucet. Additionally, it addresses the challenge of handling kitchen tasks when hands are soiled with grease, providing added convenience and hygiene during food preparation.

It is offered in two color variants: matte black and brilliant silver, boasting a minimalist and polished design. The casing comprises powder-coated 430 stainless steel, while the inner heater, hot water tank, and ice water tank are constructed from 316L medical grade stainless steel. The water bubble head is fabricated from Swiss Neoperl 304 stainless steel. This construction enables the entire apparatus to achieve an IP67 waterproof rating, mitigating the risk of circuit board failure in humid conditions. Additionally, the display panel incorporates the pioneering patented wireless LCD screen.

It incorporates innovative features including Floating Light Sensor Technology, Intelligent Power Saving Sleep Mode, Advanced Water Purification Technology, LCD Panel, and 16-Segment Temperature Control. These features collectively deliver a clean, energy-efficient, and user-friendly experience. The sensor-driven faucet offers simplicity in operation, catering to users across all age groups. Furthermore, both the body and faucet are equipped with anti-scald mechanisms, reinforcing safety measures. This product boasts Grade 1 energy efficiency, requiring only approximately $1.97 for 24 hours of standby.
