How do touchless faucets work?

The touchless faucets are equipped with motion sensor technology that starts the flow of water with a movement of a hand near the faucet or voice. Voice-controlled faucets are connected to voice assistants like Google Assistant, Amazon Alexa, and Apple’s Siri. Some brands such as Moen have apps also to monitor water usage over time. There are two or more sensors installed on the top, spout, and bottom of the faucets. The fiber optic cables connect the spout to the sensor. A control box installed under the sink contains a solenoid valve and a battery box.

Do touchless faucets need electricity to work?

Touchless faucets use lithium batteries as their power source, which release power evenly and enable a longer battery life. The battery's life depends on the frequency of use, but usually, one battery lasts for up to two years.

Conserves Water: Touchless taps have a much lower flow rate as compared to traditional touch faucets. They use up to 10-15 liters of water per minute whereas touchless faucets offer a flow rate of around 2 liters per minute. Also, touchless sensor faucets come with an aerator in the spout which disperses the water that helps in using less water for washing and other purposes than the traditional soaps.

Energy saving in the long term: Although touch faucets are hand-operated and do not require any kind of power to operate yet they are inefficient in many ways. This makes touchless faucets energy efficient in the long run. The user customizes the flow and temperature setting of the water with every single use in touch faucets whereas there is a preset flow rate and temperature in touchless faucets. This reduces the use of energy spend on heating the water and reduces the wastage of water, making touchless faucets more energy efficient. In homes with kids or public restrooms where there are chances of people leaving the faucets running, touchless faucets save water by turning off automatically after every use.

Cleaner area and safe to use: As the water flow rate and temperature are preset in the touchless faucets. It prevents sudden splash of water around the basin and floor that could cause slip accidents and saves people from scalding themselves with hot water.
