On Greenovate, Josh Pevnick and Melissa Turait go the green way in LA with a spectacular home renovation project. Their focus is energy efficiency and as such the couple compiles a thorough list of fixtures and appliances they want to install. Dual motion sensor faucets make their wish list and for good reason. Find out the top three reasons you, too, should be thinking about motion sensor faucets.
- They reduce waste. Think about the simple act of washing your face in the morning. Every time you splash your face with water, even more unused water travels down the drain. Since it’s quite impractical to manually shut off the water whenever you need to rinse away the suds, wouldn’t it be great to have the faucet do the work? Motion sensor faucets are created with that premise in mind. The convenience and resource savings are phenomenal. Some manufacturers estimate consumers will reduce their water waste by 50%.
- They decrease germ transmission. We’ve all been taught that washing your hands is the best way to keep germs at bay. If you are ever in a restaurant, you will note it is mandatory for employees to give their grabbers a scrub before exiting the restroom. Even though hand washing is stressed, facilities without motion sensor faucets may have employees and customers re-contaminating their hands when they shut off the faucet. The same process takes place at home. Germy hands turn on faucet. Clean hands touch the germy faucet knob to turn water off. Eliminating the water activation and deactivation steps keep germ free hands clean and just makes good sense.
- They make the sink experience easier for children. Motion sensor faucets are kid-friendly products. These faucets take the guess work out of the clean up process. Small children can prep for bedtime without worrying with the knobs and handles of a faucet. They will likely enjoy the magical experience of placing their toothbrushes in front of the sensor and having water appear.
