Touchless faucets are becoming a hot trend in North American kitchens and bathrooms. We use them frequently when we’re in malls, grocery stores, and other public places. Bringing the idea home can be a great way to reduce the spread of germs and bacteria. The faucet has really improved, and technology keeps getting better and more intuitive.

Below lists 3 reasons why a touchless faucet may be your next home project.

1) Reduce the spread of germs

Interestingly enough, touchless faucets in the kitchen are more popular than the bathroom. The idea behind that is to reduce the spread of foodborne illnesses such as E-Coli and Salmonella. However, by using a touchless faucet in the bathroom, your not getting any bathroom germs on the faucet, and your able to wash your hands right away. We know with Covid that reducing the spread of germs has been quite the ordeal, so maybe it’s time to keep that lifestyle going with a touchless faucet.

2) Save water & Money

The average person uses 2 gallons of water per minute while washing your hands with a regular faucet. By using a touchless faucet you’re only using water when you need to. We know that when we brush our teeth, shave, or fill a glass of water that we see water wasting down the drain, so a touchless faucet is a tool that we can use to be more careful of our water consumption. This type of conservation will have a lasting effect for our earth, each little bit ads up and over the years you’d have saved hundreds of gallons per year.

3) Easy Access

Using a touchless faucet is as easy as a wave of the hand, literally. Simply place your hand under the spout and viola. That’s because of the sensor that senses when your hands are under the spout. So now cooking, cleaning, and washing all becomes easier. Modern touchless faucets can even be voice controlled, so you can tell it to fill up 2 cups of water. And you can also tell it to set the water to a certain temperature. The technology is always improving.
