Aquno Select promotes efficient water workflow
01 May 2020
Hansgrohe’s Aquno Select M81 kitchen faucet brought home gold for the German sanitary fittings manufacturer in the KitchenInnovation of the Year 2020 awards held last February by the independent LifeCare initiative.
“The Aquno Select M81 is an entirely new concept for an efficient water workflow in the kitchen – a kitchen faucet for ambitious gourmets for whom cooking is more than just simply preparing meals,” says Marc André Palm, Head of Global Brand Marketing for hansgrohe.
With its new Aquno Select M81 kitchen faucet, hansgrohe has presented a new system consisting of an unconventional product design combined with innovative spray technology and tailored accessories.
“The integrated Aquno makes tangible a forward-thinking interaction with water in the kitchen and, thanks to the clever overall concept, offers the right spray types and functions depending on the respective use,” he says.
For the first time, the laminar and shower sprays on the pull-out sprayer have been complemented with a wide-area and particularly gentle spray that comes from the integrated base unit. The SatinFlow spray comprises many individual streams that form one soft stream that provides a broad flow. The streams envelope food, hands, and object items without splashing, thereby providing uniform water coverage, he explains.
The base unit in the lower faucet area acts as a “shower” for fruits and vegetables, because the integrated wide-area spray ensures a noticeably gentler distribution of water droplets, thanks to its long and broad spout as well as the novel arrangement and number of spray jets. This enables the significantly gentler and yet extremely effective cleaning of food items. Using the multifunction strainer – which is included in the package and fits precisely under the stream – the system ensures a simple and efficient workflow at the sink.
