Durability within reach The system that works
Intersan, first in ecological and economical washroom solutions Savings Intersan fixtures are space saving and are more resistant to vandalism than china lavatories. Their superior design minimizes the amount of parts required resulting in a more cost effective unit. To minimize the installation cost, only one drain and one set of supplies are required per unit. The energy consumption is low: the flow rate of a nozzle is only 0.5 gpm and requires only 0.26 gpm of hot water (60 %). The electronics function with long lasting batteries or with a low voltage transformer. The World s supply of potable water is limited and raw materials are becoming scarce. It is our duty to use them economically and this requires durable solutions that respect the environment. Intersan began manufacturing water and energy saving plumbing fixtures more than 60 years ago. Intersan s hand washing systems are durable, functional and easy to install. In high traffic washrooms, they offer accessible comfort and hygiene to all visitors including the disabled. Intersan s R&D department is continuously looking for solutions to existing problems, such as changing anthropometric data, ergonomic problems, ease of use for disabled persons, water and energy savings, etc. 100% recyclable eco Intersan uses materials that can be fully recycled such as steel, stainless steel, copper, solid surface and ecological carton packing materials in order to minimize environmental impact. 2
soap water Safe and hygienical hands free operation Optimal comfort through easy control The automatic delivery of water and soap prevents the user from having to come into contact with the fixture and its environment. The spread of germs and bacteria by hands is thus excluded. The easy control system invites users in factories, schools, laboratories, offices, hospitals, nursing homes, food processing industries and restaurants to frequently wash their hands, which is important for promoting hygiene! The hands free soap system requires no external power, and is completely powered by the existing water pressure saving energy compared to other electronic soap dispensers. Intersan designs its fixtures for easy operation by all users including adults, children and the disabled. The passive detection system functions within a three-dimensional sensitivity field within the bowl area. Soap and water will be delivered automatically upon the presentation of the user s hands beneath a nozzle. 3
Commercial Plumbing fixtures Wash troughs offer better hygiene The design of Intersan s troughs is unique in that the transversal profile is obtained by bending a single plate in such a way that the trough, back and pipe cover are formed simultaneously. Autonomy through battery operation Space saving Intersan s troughs come complete with a wide variety of factory installed faucets. The supply lines are made of red copper known to eliminate 95 % of most bacteria and help to prevent the spread of legionnaires disease. Intersan troughs further enhance hygiene by channeling the waste water directly to the central drain. Soap dispensers can be mounted on the troughs, keeping soap residues inside the trough instead of dripping onto the floor. Sensor operated troughs offer total handsfree operation. The troughs are made from 100% recyclable AISI 304 stainless steel. Accessible for disabled users Vandal resistant Many Applications 4
Sanispray washfountains: durable and maintenance friendly Sanispray washfountains can combine up to 8 stations into one single fixture therefore saving the end-user money on rough-in and labor. Because they are durable, efficient and vandal resistant, they can be used in schools, industry, sports facilities etc. Sanispray provides enhanced hygiene through the design of a center set drain, which prevents standing dirty water in the bowl. Intersan even has models that are specially adapted for medical applications. Intersan uses a unique hightech polishing process that results in a durable easy to clean mirror-like bowl surface. Washfountains take up significantly less space than lavatories of equal capacity. They can handle large groups of people simultaneously and offer an efficient traffic pattern in large washrooms. Intersan has a large number of Sanispray models that meet the strict American ADA-standards. The different ways of activation such as the push button model, the footrail model, the electronic model or the piezo model make the Sanispray washfountain universally applicable. All types with the exception of the footrail model can be supplied with a junior height pedestal for children or an extra high pedestal for adults. 5
Multiset and Sanset: safe lavatories in stainless steel The design of Multiset lavatories is an innovation in public washrooms by providing combinations of single units that create multi-unit stations, either wall hung or freestanding. This innovative fixture allows for flexible layouts and efficient traffic patterns in the design of public washrooms. The single unit platform enables the designer to plan washstations of varying lengths and to extend existing Multiset installations without disassembly. The unique design consists of hook-in type pedestals, support beams and brackets. The Sanset lavatory is manufactured from stainless steel and combines unique design and functionality. The bowl of the lavatory is in the shape of an ellipse, all edges of the lavatory are softly rounded. This combination blends the continuity of the design, with the hygienic safety and comfort of the user.

Water saving Intersan fixtures Example OFFICE 6 Santronic Piezo faucets placed in an office use as much water as two 3-user Sanifount washfountains. Santronic Piezo faucets can accommodate up to 120 male and 120 female office employees ( 1 lavatory/faucet per 40 employees). The frequency of use per day per person : 3 times = 720 uses per day = 10 seconds per usage. SANTRONIC PIEZO FAUCET LEED Baseline Faucet 120 minutes x 0,5 gallons = 0.25 gallons per cycle x 720 cycles = 60 gallons per day x 220 days = 180 gallons per day x 220 days = 13,200 gallons per year 39,600 gallons per year Savings of 26,400 gallons of water per year In case of mixed water, which requires an energy of around 0.1098 kwh per gallon to heat from 59 F to 104 F, important energy savings are possible. In the above example, the annual energy requirements are: SANTRONIC PIEZO FAUCET LEED Baseline Faucet 13,200 gallons x 0.1098 kwh = 39,600 gallons x 0.1098kWh = 1,449.36 kwh/year 4,348.08 kwh Savings of 2,898.72 kwh/year 14
