T&s Brass Hydro Generator For Chekpoint®
A self-sustaining power source for the ChekPoint® sensor faucets uses hydroelectric power harnessed from moving water. Water enters the hydro-generator and passes by a turbine causing it to rotate. The hydro-generator uses part of this rotational energy to power the sensor faucets. The remaining energy generated is saved and stored in the hydro-generator for later use. Minimal use of the hydro-generator (5 seconds of usage three times a day at 1 GPM at 60 PSI) is sufficient to accommodate consumed energy and generate and store energy. The unit can store power for up to eight months with no cycling. The average estimated lifespan for EC-Hydrogen is ten years (estimate based on 1 million cycles in lab testing; individual results may differ). The kit includes a female-to-female ½ NPSM swivel adapter, a hydro-generator with ½ NPSM inlet and outlet and attached power cord for connection to the existing sensor faucet control module.
