Child proof tap fit out

[simptomatic]

I'm looking to fit out our toilets with child proof taps and wondering if anyone else has had similar experiences. An electronic set up would be best in the interests of sustainability however the primary function (beyond cleanliness) is to thwart any attempts at flooding the the toilets. We have between 3 to 6 basins that will be refitted and the surfaces are cut for monobloc's. They want to be regulated mixers, and push button ones would be considered, in light of budget concerns. So far I'm finding plenty of solutions but I'm not used to dealing with suppliers of said equipment. Can anyone recommend where to look?

Our current/previous setup of electronic taps with regulator boxes (sorry if my terminology seems loose) is failing miserably and it looks like a complete refit is the best option. Any advice would be appreciated.

Screwfix do a range of commercial sink taps and fittings, and are reasonably priced. Otherwise, go to a good plumbers merchants for advice on what you require. Alan.

There was an application I heard of which used movement detectors to turn on the water. Some little scrotes found out that putting cling film across the bowl created enough movement, as the water hit it, to keep the tap on. Cue a software update to include a maximum "on" time.

small hadncuffs?

My grandson has difficulty using the press button ones as they have quite a strong resistance - not helped by the angle that a child can apply.

Surprised the electronic set-up is failing. they seem to be the preferred solution in many commercial - heavy usage applications. What is the issue?

The electronic ones are just hitting the end of their service life basically. Also all similar systems that I'm seeing look a bit too expensive. Oh & I almost forgot, we cannot access the wall space where the regulator boxes are housed :/. They probably could be boxed under the sinks though if we got new ones.

Handcuffs are a good idea, however we'd need a handcuffing robot then. Policing the little brutes isn't so simple.

Same experience as you in the adult tiolets in a church. Failing after about 4 years - replaced with push ons. I work part time as a handyman in a 600 pupil primary school and we have exclusively push on taps in the pupil toilets. Even Year R seem to cope (they are 4-5year olds)

Ensure new taps have spray nozzles to reduce the flow of water.
