Touchless bathroom faucets minimize the effort required to turn on the water in your bathroom. They use motion sensor technology to initiate the flow of water from your faucet. When you wave your hands in front of the sensor, the water flow will begin. Once you move your hands away, the water flow will stop.
Here at True Plumbers & AC, we handle faucet repair and replacement for residential and commercial customers in Lakeland, Plant City, and Winter Haven, FL. After enough of these installs, you learn quickly which faucet types hold up in a busy bathroom and which ones do not.
If you are undecided about whether to invest in touchless bathroom faucets, here are three benefits they bring to a home or business.
1. Hands-free bathroom faucets are easy to use.
There are various models of hands-free bathroom faucets available for you to install in your home or business. You can opt for a simplistic model or a more complex one with advanced temperature control options.
No matter the design you choose, touchless bathroom faucets are easy to use for children, the elderly, and other individuals with poor motor skills.
Most models, especially high-quality ones, rarely experience issues with leaks. That matters, because a dripping faucet is one of the signs of a water leak homeowners tend to live with for months. Keeping fixtures in good shape is part of a wider habit: maintaining your sinks prevents most of the calls we get about them.
The combination of function and style also carries over to the rest of the room. If the faucet is the first upgrade, our list of ways your bathroom could be costing you money is a good next read, and homeowners replacing fixtures often look at toilet options at the same time.
2. You can save money with touchless bathroom faucets.
Because touchless faucets only deliver water when the user waves their hand in front of them, you will save a lot of money on your water bill.
If you own a business, you won’t lose money due to careless customers leaving your bathroom’s faucets on. At home, your children won’t wastefully run the water as they brush their teeth.
With touchless bathroom faucets, users will spend less time trying to get the faucet’s water to the desired temperature. It is one of the simpler entries on our list of ways to cut water usage at home, and it pairs well with a water-saving toilet if you are working on the whole room.
In addition to saving you money, touchless bathroom faucets also benefit the environment. By getting these faucets in all of your property’s restrooms, you can reduce your establishment’s ecological footprint.
3. Promote sanitation with hands-free bathroom faucets.
Because you don’t have to touch a handle or knob, users won’t be exposed to others’ germs and bacteria. You can promote sanitation with hands-free bathroom faucets.
Though they don’t accumulate as many germs as traditional faucets do, you should still clean touchless bathroom faucets to create a healthy environment. Be sure to regularly clean the sensor area so it doesn’t become clouded by dust or soap.
Central Florida’s hard water is the other thing working against the sensor. Mineral film clouds the lens and crusts the aerator, which is one reason we suggest an under-sink water filtration system or a whole-home water softener in homes on well water. Our tips for removing hard water stains from shower glass work on chrome fixtures too.
