Why Use a Motion Sensor Faucet?

A mention sensor faucet is an automatic device that responds to a user passing a part of their body (in most cases the hands) over sensors which turn the faucet on or off. Be it for the bathroom or kitchen, a motion sensor faucet offers a number of advantages over the traditional manual faucet:

  • Ease of operation as it does not require manual turning on and off which can take up a lot of your time especially when you consider the number of times you use the faucet
  • Hygienic unlike the manual facets which are a repository of harmful germs which are transferred to people when they touch them during hand washing
  • Saves water as it is released in short bursts when it is required unlike the manual faucets which keep running with water as one is soaping up
  • Prevents injuries such as scalding from hot water as the faucet will immediately cut off water supply when the hand is suddenly removed

Infrared faucets allow significant savings. Indeed, they are equipped with a cell infrared detection that automatically identifies the presence of a hand or object (glass pot) falling within its field of view.

The water flows as soon as a presence is detected. But as soon as the hand or kitchen utensils is out of the "radar" of the infrared motion detector, the water flow is cut off. Clearly, an infrared faucet is like a limiter / water regulator. The water is automatically turned off when you do need it anymore.

A major advantage of water faucets is the significant savings in water bills which can be as much as 70%.

Kitchen Motion Sensor Faucets

Working in the kitchen can be time consuming and attention distracting. One moment you are mixing ingredients and the next you are checking the progress of your food. These activities can overwhelm someone and it is not unusual to find the kitchen sink faucet continuously running with water.

An automatic motion sensor faucet in the kitchen solves this problem in addition to the fact that it is also hygienic, which is very important in a food environment. The following automatic faucets are among the best in the market based on price, quality and durability.
