Ive been asked to replace 12 mixer taps with sensor taps in my local doctors surgery. Ive been looking at the ones that run on AA batteries rather than wired to the electrics. Does anyone have any experience with these, are they any good?

Thanks
 
They work ok but will obviously require batteries changing, also often only work with decent pressure - check manufacturers litetature and dont go as low as minimum always look at reccomended pressure.
 
How do these taps work if the batteries go flat or do they just stop working? If they just stop working I'd be installing 3-4 taps at a time a good few weeks, maybe a month apart so they don't end up with all the taps packing up at the same time. Yes I know they could change the batteries but the doctors that I look after asked me to change a light bulb the other day!
 
or even better use the electric ones
 
Or offer to add it to your annual/biannual service - for a price!
