    TECHNOLOGIES 100 years of technological expertise
    in developing shared tapware and sanitaryware
    Inventor of the first timed-flow tap, PRESTO has technological daring in its genes.
    A pioneer in ecological and economical tapware and sanitaryware, we have developed
    thousands of innovative tap models since 1927. Our inventions and patents have marked
    both our own history and that of public access buildings whose specific needs are constantly evolving.

    • TOUCHLESS SENSOR TIMED-FLOW TAPWARE
    • MASTERMIX® TECHNOLOGY

    MECHANICAL TIMED-FLOW TAPWARE

    The 1st push-button tap

    The user simply presses the push-button to start the flow of water, and it automatically shuts off after a set time.

    Our mechanical timed-flow taps are all fitted with a cartridge with return spring and a self-cleaning synthetic ruby. This patented technology ensures that both the timer and flow remain constant, and guarantees the integrity of the mechanism and its durability. PRESTO taps are the most reliable in their market. Thanks to its outstanding performance, PRESTO technology has obtained a number of standards and certifications around the world, starting with France, its country of origin. In France, PRESTO is the brand of shared tapware with the largest offer of taps certified according to French standards (NF). It is the only French label that guarantees a quality product to installers, operators and users.

    + Economical: the tap shuts off automatically after a factory-set time delay

    + Robust: this solution is suitable for intensive use and places prone to vandalism

    + Durable: 10-year warranty

    TOUCH SENSITIVE TIMED-FLOW TAPWARE

    The Start and Stop tap

    To optimise the amount of water used, we have developed the Start/Stop function.

    The flow of water is controlled by simply touching the detection surface. The flow of water stops after a programmed time or at any time by touching the detection surface a second time.

    We refer to it as a “detection surface” rather than a “button” because there is no mechanical action required to open the tap. This method of starting the flow of water is effortless and easily understood by any user.

    Ideal for mid-range budgets, this technology is positioned halfway between our mechanical timed-flow and sensor timed-flow technologies.

     

    + Economical: the tap shuts off automatically after a precise flow time

    + Hygienic – antibacterial: the automatic shut-off of the tap prevents users from touching it once their hands are clean

    + Safety: anti-overflow device in the event of a power cut

    + Controllable: programmable automatic rinsing

    TOUCHLESS SENSOR TIMED-FLOW TAPWARE

    40 years of touchless sensor taps at PRESTO

    Even more hygienic, our touchless sensor taps deliver precisely the right amount of water needed for each use. The tap does not need to be touched, as the flow of water automatically starts whenever hands are detected by the sensor, and automatically stops when they are withdrawn.

    PRESTO has over 40 years of experience developing electronic tapware with infrared technology, which is also known as touchless sensor tapware. We offer this tapware in our washbasin, shower, urinal and flush product lines.

     

    The principle of avoiding any contact between the user and the device significantly limits bacterial growth and transmission between users. Touchless sensor tapware perfectly meets the most demanding hygiene criteria for sensitive facilities or during periods of highly contagious epidemics.

     

    PRESTO “high-end” touchless sensor tapware products are the preferred choice of architecture firms, and have been used at many major sites since their inception: airports, luxury hotels, high-rise office blocks and the headquarters of some of the world’s largest companies.

     

    LYNX is the name of the latest generation of cell developed by PRESTO, which offers more precise movement detection and interacts with the taps via an interface for controlling and configuring the various settings.

     

    +  Economical: the tap delivers the right amount of water necessary for use (supplied as standard with a 3 l/min flow regulator)

    + Hygienic – antibacterial: the automatic shut-off of the tap prevents users from touching it once their hands are clean

    + Safety: anti-overflow device in the event of a power cut

    + Adaptable: interchangeable with all types of tapware

    MASTERMIX® TECHNOLOGY

    The latest generation of SANIFIRST® thermostatic mixers incorporate our unique and patented MasterMix® technology, which limits the risks of scalding and infection for patients and healthcare staff.

    This technology is now available as a whole collection:

    • Washbasins (with or without extractable hand shower)
    • Wall-mounted showers (upper or lower outlet)
    • Shower tablets (mechanical and Touch® sensitive)
    • PRESTOTEM 2® shower panels (mechanical and Touch® sensitive)

    MasterMix® technology avoids any cross-feeding between the DHW (domestic hot water) and DCW (domestic cold water), which eliminates the need for the non-return valves usually used for cross-feeding.

    The temperature is controlled because the thermostatic cartridge prevents any flow of water in the event of a power cut (compliance with French standard NF EN 1111). The dual temperature limiter limits the mixed outlet temperature to 38°C and 41°C. The body remains cold.

    The thermostatic cartridge can be changed without having to cut off the water. The lever just has to be left in the “closed” position.

    MasterMix® technology is THE technology of choice for all sensitive users, from newborns to the elderly, including people with immunosuppression.

     

    + Hygienic – antibacterial: the removal of environments prone to bacterial growth limits the risk of infection for patients and users

    + Safety: thanks to its anti-scald system, patients do not have to take risks regardless of how sensitive their skin is

    + Safety – DHW system: since no cross-feeding is required between the DHW/DCW, no retro-contamination is possible by means of the washbasin or shower valve
