Frequently Asked Questions
How does the Velo Air Tap perform in Australia's varied climate zones?
The Velo Air Tap is engineered to perform consistently across Australia's diverse climate conditions. In tropical northern regions, the IPX1 protection rating provides resistance against high humidity, while the chromed brass construction offers excellent corrosion resistance in coastal areas. The unit's thermal limiter ensures safe operation even during extreme summer temperatures in central Australia, automatically regulating performance to prevent overheating when ambient temperatures rise above 40°C.
What makes the Velo Air Tap suitable for Australia's stringent commercial building standards?
The Velo Air Tap meets Australia's commercial building requirements through its Class I electrical insulation rating and compliance with international safety standards. Its 220-240V compatibility matches Australian electrical systems without adaptation. The 800W power consumption supports energy efficiency targets in Australian Green Star-rated buildings, while the brushless motor design contributes to reduced maintenance cycles—a key consideration under Australian facility management standards.
How does the Velo Air Tap's sound level compare to Australian workplace noise regulations?
At 72 dBA measured from 2 meters, the Velo Air Tap operates well within acceptable noise levels for Australian commercial environments. For context, Australian workplace regulations typically set 85 dBA as the exposure standard for an 8-hour workday. The Velo's 72 dBA output means it can be installed in noise-sensitive environments such as healthcare facilities and office buildings without contributing to noise pollution or causing communication difficulties for staff and customers.
Is the Velo Air Tap's water resistance suitable for Australia's water efficiency requirements?
While the Velo Air Tap is not a water fixture itself, its IPX1 protection rating ensures it can coexist safely with Australian WELS-rated (Water Efficiency Labelling and Standards) water fixtures in commercial washrooms. The unit's countertop mounting position makes it compatible with water-saving basin designs that are increasingly mandated in Australian commercial buildings. Additionally, by effectively drying hands in 10-12 seconds, it reduces paper towel waste, supporting Australia's commercial waste reduction initiatives.
The Velo Air Tap Hand Dryer represents an exceptional investment for Australian businesses seeking to elevate their washroom facilities with commercial-grade equipment that delivers both form and function. Backed by a comprehensive 5-year warranty and engineered to the highest European standards, this countertop hand dryer combines rapid drying performance with vandal-resistant durability, ensuring years of reliable service in demanding commercial environments.
