Faucets that turn on with a simple tap are a nice kitchen addition for cooks with their hands full. Ones that turn on with the wave of a hand can be even better. Brizo's Pascal faucet does both, and turns on with a manual tug of the gooseneck spout as well.
The high arch faucet features a touch sensitive spout and handle. The spout turns a full 180 degrees and the head pulls down to function as a sprayer.
When the faucet is set to automatic, water will flow when an object is placed under the aerator. An indicator light signals automatic function. The faucet automatically turns off when the object is removed or at a timed interval. It also turns on when the spout or handle is tapped.
To avoid unpleasant accidents, the faucet turns off automatically when water is diverted to the sprayer. Grasping and moving the spout will not cause it to turn on.
Water flow and temperature can be adjusted by a single handle valve. A push-button diverter sits behind the spout and switches the two-function spray head from stream to spray.
Four D cell batteries will power the faucet's automatic functions for up to two years under normal use. An indicator lights turns on when the battery is getting low on juice. The faucet can also be hardwired.
The solid brass faucet comes in polished chrome and stainless steel.
