CONVERTING PUSH BUTTONS










Question:


Hand Dryer Expert,
 


I teach at a high school that uses the push-button hand dryers. Girls are constantly pressing the buttons, all day long, so that people won't hear them in the bathroom. This is a huge waste of energy. Is there any way of converting our existing hand dryers to motion-sensored ones?

Stephanie,
 
That is an interesting question! Unfortunately, there is no simple way to convert a push button to an automatic hand dryer. You would have to buy new dryers.

Restroom Direct does have some really good prices on World Dryer Model A and AirMax hand dryers.  Assuming you have a Model A in the restroom already,  these would fit in the same location.  Restroom Direct often posts specials also.
Thanks, Hand Dryer Expert
