Chicago Faucets 242.749.AB.1
The Chicago Faucets 242.749.AB.1 is a genuine OEM SSPS (Self-Sustaining Power System) Generator, specifically the updated Version 2.0. This complete unit is a hydro-generator designed for HyTronic® series faucets, capturing the energy from flowing water to power the electronic sensor and solenoid. By converting kinetic energy into electrical power, the SSPS system eliminates the need for external AC power or frequent battery replacements. This Version 2.0 unit features enhanced turbine efficiency and improved capacitor storage over previous models, all while maintaining ECAST® lead-free compliance.
Expert Insight:
The 242.749.AB.1 Version 2.0 is the pinnacle of "off-grid" commercial plumbing. Installation Tip: For the generator to maintain its charge, the faucet requires a minimum of 10 activations per day (at 10 seconds each) under standard pressure. Pro Tip: This Version 2.0 generator is a significant upgrade from the original SSPS units, featuring a more robust internal turbine that handles mineral-heavy "hard water" much better than its predecessor. It includes a high-capacity storage capacitor that keeps the sensor active even during long periods of non-use (like holiday weekends). Because it uses the water flow to create its own energy, this is the ultimate solution for LEED-certified projects or any facility looking to eliminate battery waste and electrical costs entirely.
