Are automatic soap dispensers worth it? ›

Touch-free soap and sanitiser dispensers remove a cross-contamination point, helping to provide safe hand hygiene. As no physical touch is necessary, the risk of contact with germs among users is eliminated whereas a manual dispenser requires the push of a button to dispense soap.

The drawback of automatic soap dispensers is that they are more expensive to purchase and install, and since they rely on batteries, operational costs can increase over time.

Provided that the soap itself hasn't run out, the most common reasons for this may be: If your dispenser has not been used in a long period of time it may become clogged. The sensor may be damaged, the batteries have run out or the wiring is faulty (in the case of automatic soap dispensers).

The Soap Dispenser Does not Dispense Soap

If you know the dispenser is not clogged with solidified soap, unscrew the pump and make sure the tubes are all attached properly. Also check to make sure the pump is primed. You can prime the pump by pressing several times to get the soap into the tubes.

Your bath electronic soap dispenser is designed for use with standard household dish soaps, hand soaps and hand sanitizers.

Soap Dispensers can use liquid dish soap, liquid hand soap, alcohol-based hand-sanitizer, and even typical hand lotions. Foaming soap will pump from the soap dispenser but it will not foam.

Hygiene: In addition to being touchless, automatic soap dispensers can also be more hygienic than manual dispensers because they dispense a pre-measured amount of soap. This can help reduce the risk of cross-contamination, which can occur when people touch the dispenser with contaminated hands.

Try a soft reset, by pressing power button for 12 seconds and then power on the device. If your soap dispenser isn't used for a prolonged time, soap can accumulate and clog the nozzle. To troubleshoot, clean the nozzle area with water and remove any stuck soap.

How do you prime an automatic soap dispenser? ›

To prevent clogs, remove and flush the pump with water and be sure it is clear before any extended period of disuse.

It is faster, safer, and more efficient. Automatic hand sanitizers are better than traditional ones as they automatically spray the sanitizer. You do not need to apply body pressure to the dispenser; just put your hands under the nozzle.

Built-in dispensers encourage more controlled soap usage due to their calibrated dispensing mechanisms. This can lead to a reduction in the overall consumption of bottled soap, contributing to both cost savings and environmental sustainability.
