Frequently Asked Questions
What differentiates the Pro Series for heavy‑duty commercial and institutional use?
The Pro Series focuses on long‑term reliability under constant use. Reinforced lead‑free brass bodies and PVD/chrome finishes withstand cleaning chemicals and abrasion. Pressure‑compensated regulators keep flows within spec at 0.35–0.5 gpm despite supply fluctuations, while IP‑sealed sensor windows and electronics resist moisture ingress. Vandal‑resistant features—tamper‑proof fasteners, shielded outlets, and lockout timers—address intentional misuse in public restrooms. The shared internal platform simplifies training and spares across facility portfolios, lowering total cost of ownership.
How does the Pro Series address ADA and UPC/IPC compliance?
When installed per the instructions, Pro Series faucets are designed to support ADA/ICC A117.1 for clear floor space, reach ranges, and knee/toe clearance at lavatories. Touchless activation eliminates operating force concerns. For temperature safety, models pair with ASSE 1070 mixing to cap outlet temperatures. The valves are designed to conform to ASME A112.18.1/CSA B125.1 and lead‑free NSF/ANSI 61/372, aligning with UPC/IPC expectations used in institutional approvals.
What vandal‑resistant features are available?
Security measures include tamper‑proof fasteners, anti‑rotation gaskets, recessed or shielded outlets, and sensor obstruction lockouts. A configurable maximum‑run timer prevents flooding if a stream is blocked. Optional laminar outlets reduce splash (and thus slip risk) in shallow bowls—useful in schools and public counters. Electronics are IP‑sealed to tolerate aggressive janitorial cycles.
How is maintenance simplified for institutional portfolios?
Serviceability is built in: front‑access debris screens, quick‑release valve/solenoids, and common components across the Pro Series reduce time on site. Dual‑power options accommodate buildings with or without convenient AC. Optional usage counters inform preventative maintenance schedules. Hygiene‑flush and thermal‑purge modes are available to assist with water management plans and stagnation control.
What is the warranty and what extensions exist for public institutions?
Standard commercial coverage typically includes 5 years on the body/finish, 3 years on electronics/sensors, and 1 year on power packs and accessories. Fontana can tailor extended coverage and spares kits for multi‑site rollouts (school districts, university systems, and government campuses). Refer to the project‑specific warranty statement in submittals.
What Clients Say about these Products
Architect Review — University STEM Complex (EnduraFlow™)
“EnduraFlow™ met our program needs for durability and low consumption. The submittal set clearly addressed ADA reach and UPC considerations, which streamlined approvals across multiple buildings. Performance has been consistent through high‑use periods.”
Designer Review — Hospital Public Areas (HydroShield™)
“HydroShield’s laminar option and sealed electronics suited our infection‑control approach. Housekeeping noted that the finish holds up well to daily sanitization. The visual is calm and robust, appropriate for healthcare.”
Contractor Review — School District Rollout (AquaGuard™)
“AquaGuard™ installed quickly, and the tamper‑resistant features cut callbacks. Lockout timers helped prevent after‑hours mischief. Clear labeling and shared internals simplified training our crews.”
Rating: ★★★★★ · Focus: Installation Speed, Vandal Resistance, Training
Engineer Review — Government Complex (HydroCore™)
“HydroCore’s unified service platform reduced spares inventory. Flow remained within spec from 20–80 psi during commissioning, and dual‑power means we can standardize across buildings with different electrical access.”
Developer/Operator Review — Public Library Network (SteadyStream™)
“SteadyStream™ delivered the predictable, calm flow our patrons expect. Since retrofit, water use is controlled and vandal‑related downtime has dropped. Warranty support and documentation were straightforward for our public procurement.”
Rating: ★★★★★ · Focus: Reliability, Water Control, Warranty
