Plumber: Homeowner needs a hand with some touchless tips | Features

Question: I need to get a new kitchen faucet and I want to get a touchless style. But I need help as I’ve never had a hands-free faucet. Can you suggest a few features that I should look for? – Brian, Texas

Reply: Kitchen faucets are working faucets and should be able to handle your kitchen cleaning and cooking tasks. So look for a style that includes a multi-function spray head with a high spout and an extension or pull-down design.

As for the no-touch option, I recommend looking for a faucet with some or all of these three features.

First, check that it is a touchless faucet that activates with a hand wave rather than an actual touch. In many cases, when preparing a meal, you may just want to touch the food.

Next, most touchless faucets may need electricity. Find a faucet with manual override or batteries in case of a power failure.

Finally, look for a temperature memory that will allow you to set the faucet to the temperature you want. This is really a hot feature that can be combined with a touchless kitchen faucet.
