Types of touchless sensor faucets

Touchless faucets normally are all the same but based on their working, they are of two types. Battery based faucets have an electronic current that turns on when the faucet detects the hand. AC transformer faucets have a continuous flow of current.

Why use touchless faucets?

Following mentioned are the four basic features of touchless sensor faucets which make them worth using:

1- Sensor

Touchless faucets usually have sensors in them that are located on the base or at the tip of the sensor. This sensor had designed in a way that you need to place your hands beneath it, and it will automatically turn on and off.

2- Solenoid valve

Sensor faucets typically have a solenoid diaphragm valve. These valves imply a magnetic pull or push on the faucet. This valve usually closed-ended, but as the valve gets pulled, it signals the sensor and the water flows.

3- Power source

Almost all the faucets have a power source in them. However, the power source in all these faucets is different. Some use dry batteries while others take a low volt current from the AC transformers. Sensors obtain power from electricity, and this electricity also powers the water valve. Faucets that have transformer as a power source hold continuous current while battery-based faucets pass the current when they are turned on.

4- Spouts

A spout in a touchless faucet usually contains all its working parts. Spouts are built of zinc and sometimes of brass. They control the working of all the elements in a faucet.
