Touchless battery - what is it and is it worth installing?

Touchless faucets provide a high standard of interior finish and ensure safety during use. The bathroom is a place where germs multiply, so it is important to maintain a high level of hygiene.

What is a touchless faucet?

Many people who are used to traditional faucets with handles wonder what touchless faucets are and how they work. As the name suggests, these devices do not require touching and are much more hygienic. The lack of levers and handles may be surprising, but installing them would be completely pointless.

The devices detect movement through a sensor, which is located inside the faucet. By placing your hands under the spout, the flow of water is activated, allowing you to wash your hands under running water. By setting precise parameters for the length of water flow and its volume, we have control over the amount of water used.
