Check this out: a better low-tech faucet design

Automatic faucets in public restrooms (and more and more in our homes as well), the kind that “sense” your hands are okay. Actually, kind of “meh.” They often don’t work that great and they require a source of power.

However, I do love being able to get my hands wet, turn off the water, soap up, wash, then turn on the water to rinse, all without touching the faucet. That is the ideal.

And now I have been seeing more and more of these long-handled faucets in public restrooms. You can use your wrist to easily turn the faucet on and off mechanically, no high-tech “sensing” necessary! Simple and functional, I am a fan.


I hope to see more of these around in future.
