Which soaps can be used?
Because of the large amount of available soaps we are not able to give suggestions for products to be used. Please check the ingredients very carefully. Liquids in contact with stainless steel must not be strong acids or salts like chloride, bromide, iodine and similar chemicals. These chemicals in contact with stainless steel can cause corrosion. If your soap dispenser is equipped with a tank cover make sure that it is in place. Evaporating of ingredients can cause aggressive gases which also can be very corrosive. Disinfectants act very aggressively on the seals of the soap dispensers.

Which batteries are used?
Franke recommends the use of high quality brand name batteries of the following types: Standard D 1.5 V batteries for paper towel dispensers, Alkaline AA 1.5 V batteries for soap dispensers, lithium CRP2 6 V batteries for taps.
How long is the lifespan of batteries with single products?
The lifespan of batteries is dependant on a lot of different factors. Most important is the quality of the batteries used. Tests by Franke have showed that there is a dramatic difference between brand name products and un-branded products. Brand name products had up to ten times lifespan. Another factor is the amount of usage. Less used batteries have a smaller lifespan, because of the self-discharge. Large temperature-differences and low temperatures also have a negative effect on the lifespan of the battery.
