Different types of touchless faucets
- Plastic faucet
This relatively inexpensive type of faucet is common in most public places but the fact that these might often need frequent repair is problematic. In public places, these are unlikely to be very useful because they will get easily damaged.
- The brass and chrome coated faucets
This type of faucet includes zinc coated with brass. The zinc itself is likely to get easily rusted or corroded. The brass coating helps reduce this while also making it more attractive by keeping the surface shiny. These faucets however, can cause hygiene problems. The brass can wear out and this will expose zinc to corrosion.
- Stainless steel faucet
The stainless steel faucet is made of this material because it reduces the risk of corrosion. As long as the surface remains unscratched, the surface will remain shiny. The stainless steel faucet is ideal for
commercial settings because of its good outer appearance and less risk of corrosion.
- The solid brass faucets
The brass used in these faucets is used because of their resistance to rusting. This feature makes them durable and therefore particularly useful in public places. Brass faucets are also ideal for use in washroom where water is considered ‘hard’. Such water runs a greater risk of rusting. If these faucets are used in public places like restaurants, they will minimize the
maintenance costs and increase interval between need of repair.

2. Fontana Commercial Gold Finish Touchless Automatic Sensor Faucet
Commercial Auto Faucets Features
- Sensor
The sensor is the defining feature of the
automatic faucets. This is located at the base of the faucet's spout. The presence sensor detects the presence of hands and activates the pump to allow the flow of water. The sensor will remain activated only until the hands remain under the lip. Once they are no longer detected, the flow of water will stop.
- Power source
An automatic/touchless faucet requires a power source to run the sensor, the electronics and the valve. The source can either be a dry-cell battery or an AC transformer generating a low voltage current.
- Spout
The visible part of any faucet that holds the other components of the faucet is known as the spout.
- Solenoid valve
The solenoid-activated valve has a rubber disk to control the flow of water. The sensor opens this valve to allow the water to flow for as long as the sensor detects the presence of hands.
