Touchless faucets are a new technology that helps conserve water, free your hands, and help keep your faucet handles free from dirt and germs.

What Is a Touchless Faucet?

A touchless faucet eliminates the need to activate water by manually turning a handle. Touchless faucets rely on motion sensors to activate the stream of water and shut it off.

Benefits of Touchless Faucets

Here are seven reasons touchless faucets are a good choice for your home:

Touchless faucets conserve water: According to the Environmental Protection Agency, faucets account for 15% of household water usage. A touchless faucet can help reduce that usage because it automatically turns on and off.
Touchless faucets help with hygiene: Germs can live on traditional faucet handles. A touchless version means there is no risk of spreading or contracting germs or dirt that can remain on a faucet handle. That means once you clean your hands, you don’t reintroduce germs by touching a dirty faucet handle to turn off the water.
Touchless faucets are convenient: Hands full of dishes? No problem. The sensors make it convenient when your hands are too full to turn a knob.
Touchless faucets require less cleaning: Because grubby hands aren’t constantly grabbing onto knobs and levers, touchless faucets stay cleaner longer than traditional faucets.
Touchless faucets prevent scalding: Touchless faucets typically have a fixed temperature, so you can feel confident that the water won’t scald your hands.
Touchless faucets help with independence: The motion-activated features mean anyone with mobility issues or someone who struggles with grip or hand issues can easily use the faucet unassisted.
Touchless faucets have pre-fixed flow: There’s no wasteful blast of water when someone opens up a faucet to its capacity. This automated feature helps to conserve water.

What Do I Need To Install a Touchless Faucet?

Some touchless faucets are battery-powered, and some are plug-in versions. If you choose a plug-in version, you will need an outlet for a power source.

In the event of a power outage, your touchless faucet without a battery backup would be inoperable.
