Hand washing can use up to eight litres of water when the hot and cold taps are running for 40 seconds at 12 litres per minute.

Combining a hands-free, stainless-steel hand-wash BaSiX basin from Mechline with a Delabie electronic tap can save up to 80% of that water. Models ending with NT are fitted with battery-operated Delabie Tempomatic 3 taps.

Mechanical knee- or thigh-operated hands-free devices can slash the water used to wash hands by 50%. These basin model number ends with KVS.

The basins are made from 304 stainless steel and come in a range of sizes with optional soap dispensers, bins, hand dryers and mixer valves.
