Beschreibung
A basin is a small architecture, and the hand decides whether it works. Every pump handle in a shared bathroom is a surface that four hundred people have already touched before you arrived. The Still Basin removes that contact entirely: a hand enters the sensing field, foam arrives, the hand leaves. There is nothing to press, nothing to grip, and nothing to wipe down between visits.
The mechanism is a rechargeable electric pump rather than a manual one, which changes the texture of the experience more than the specification sheet suggests. A foam dispenser mixes air into the liquid soap as it pumps, so a smaller volume of soap covers more skin and rinses faster than a gel. Because it runs on an internal cell charged over USB, there is no battery hatch to corrode in a wet room and no cable trailing across a wet counter — charge it overnight, then it lives on the sink unplugged.
The housing is matte ABS, a material chosen for kitchens and bathrooms because it resists the standing moisture and the mild cleaning agents that eat through gloss finishes within a season. Two finishes are offered so the unit can either disappear against a stone counter or sit forward as an object in its own right. The footprint is deliberately narrow — a dispenser that occupies the front third of a basin is a dispenser that gets moved aside and eventually left unplugged in a drawer.
Hygiene is not a feature you switch on. It is a surface you remove from the room.
What Changes at the Basin
- ✦ Touchless sensing — no shared surface between guests.
- ✦ Foam, not gel — aerated lather spreads further and rinses cleaner.
- ✦ USB rechargeable — no disposable cells, no cable on the counter during use.
- ✦ Matte ABS shell — holds up to moisture and mild cleaners.
- ✦ Two colourways — disappear into a counter or stand forward as an object.
- ✦ Narrow footprint — leaves the working area of the basin clear.
- ✦ Refillable reservoir — diluted liquid soap, no proprietary cartridges.

Where It Belongs
The obvious setting is the family bathroom, where the practical benefit is that children use soap without being told twice, because the machine rewards the gesture. The more valuable setting is the semi-public washroom: a studio, a clinic waiting room, a restaurant back-of-house, a short-let apartment where the host is not present to wipe handles between guests. In those rooms a manual pump is a hygiene liability that nobody logs, whereas a touchless unit is a silent improvement that guests notice without being able to name. Kitchens benefit for a different reason — cooking hands are messy hands, and a dispenser that responds to the back of a wrist keeps the reservoir clean. Because the unit charges over USB rather than running a permanent cable, it can be moved between rooms without an electrician, which is the deciding factor in rented spaces.
Bathroom Questions
Q: Does it work with thick gel soap?
A: Foam dispensers want a thinner liquid than a gel pump. Many owners dilute liquid soap with water following the ratio on the soap bottle, which also stretches the reservoir. Thick gels can clog the aerator.
Q: How often does it need charging?
A: Runtime depends on how many actuations the room sees. In a family bathroom a charge typically lasts several weeks; in a busy washroom expect more frequent top-ups. Charging is over USB, so a power bank works in a pinch.
Q: Can it sit next to a shower without damage?
A: The ABS shell handles splashes and standing humidity. It is not designed to be submerged or placed directly in the shower spray, and the charging port should be dry before a cable goes in.
Q: Will it dispense if a hand is wet or soapy?
A: Yes. The sensor reads proximity rather than contact, so wet or foamy hands trigger it exactly like dry ones — which is the entire point of removing the handle.
Q: What soap should I use?
A: Ordinary liquid hand soap, diluted for foaming. Antibacterial hand wash works as well. Bar soap and gritty exfoliating scrubs are not suitable for any foam pump.
Q: Do the two colours differ in anything but finish?
A: No. The mechanism, reservoir and charging system are identical. The choice is purely how the unit reads against your counter and tiles.
Q: Is it loud in a quiet bathroom at night?
A: The pump produces a short low whirr, quieter than a manual pump being depressed repeatedly. It is not silent, but it does not carry outside the room.
