Smart Kitchen Faucet-Touch vs. Touchless Faucet

Nowadays more and more people consider touch and touchless faucets when upgrading kitchen, because it`s cool, convenient, and gives you some sort of smart, modern feelings. But which one fits you better? Let`s see some difference between both options.

1. Way to turn on and off the faucet

Touch and touchless faucets may sound like opposites, but they are actually quite similar. Both types of faucets are innovative versions of the traditional Kitchen Faucet. The difference between the two is that a touch-sensitive kitchen faucet responds to physical touch, while a touchless faucet detects the presence of something in front of it.

2.How do both Faucets Work?

A touch-sensitive faucet maintains an electrical charge and is equipped with a sensor that picks up on an increase in that charge when you touch it.

These sensors are even sophisticated enough to tell the difference in a single touch and a more prolonged grab that might occur when you're moving the faucet or cleaning it. The sensor is designed to only turn on and off with a single touch and shouldn't react at all to a longer grab.

Touch free sensors are not designed to detect physical touch. Instead, they sense the presence of your hand or something else in front of the faucet. Most hands free faucets do this with an infrared detector paired with an infrared light. When your hand moves in front of the sensor, the infrared light bounces off of your hand and into the detector.

That means all you have to do to turn the faucet on and off is to move your hand in front of the faucet.

3.Advantage of both faucets

Touchless faucets are the only faucet model that is completely touch-free. This means you can avoid messes and the spread of germs entirely. A simple wave of the hand will operate the faucet. This is the main advantage that touchless faucets have over touch faucets. People who find they are frequently turning on their kitchen sink with dough, raw meat or other food on their hands may want a completely touchless experience. The same may be true for people who get their hands dirty with other tasks like gardening or pottery. When you want water on-demand with no mess, touchless faucets are the ideal choice.

You may run into accidental activation with touchless faucets. You may be moving dishes, for example, and turn the faucet on unintentionally. But touch faucets won`t have this problem. Some people prefer a touch faucet because it offers more control to the user. It is less likely to accidentally turn the faucet on or off when you have to physically touch as opposed to make a motion in front of it. Since you can activate these faucets by touching them with a wrist or elbow, you can usually still avoid transferring the mess on your hands onto the faucet.
