Reasons to Install a Touchless Faucet

We are used to seeing many touchless faucets outside of our homes in restaurants or stores but automatic faucets are gaining in popularity for residential plumbing as well. The benefits of a touchless faucet are many. Take a look at three reasons why you may want to consider a hands-free faucet:

DISCOVER THE BENEFITS OF WATER CONSERVATION

It may come as no surprise that people in general tend to be wasteful when it comes to water. It's vital that we conserve our water as much as possible through initiatives that encourage fixing leaky faucets and other sustainability measures. One of these measures is to purchase Watersense commercial faucets for all of your facility's sinks. These low-flow alternatives will use less water and help your business become more environmentally friendly.

PREVENT THE SPREADING OF GERMS

Not having to touch your faucet can help prevent the spread of germs. Germs often linger on faucet handles, which means you can easily pick them up when you're turning the water off after washing your hands. For families with children, hands-free faucets are a great addition to the home to keep everyone safe and healthy.

BACTERIA KILLING MATERIALS

Certain commercial buildings, especially hospitals and doctors' offices, could benefit from following this trend. Antimicrobial copper-alloy touch surfaces on commercial faucets can help to kill bacteria and reduce infection—always a helpful thing when multiple people will be using your sinks throughout the day.

KEEP YOUR FAUCETS CLEAN

A hands-free faucet doesn't get as visibly dirty as traditional faucets. Whether you are cooking or doing cleaning of any kind, with a hands-free faucet you can easily clean your hands without transferring the mess to your plumbing fixture.

MOTION ACTIVATION

While this is nothing terribly new, more industrial buildings are being fitted with commercial faucets activated by motion. This is not only more sanitary—since people don't have to touch the same faucet thousands of others have touched—but it uses less water than conventional faucets because the water isn't left running when hands are not actually being washed.
