Take the Plunge into a Hands-Free Kitchen with Brizo Touchless Faucets
Innovative technology is transforming kitchens into futuristic central command stations. The introduction of touchless, sensor-operated faucets is bringing a hands-free experience and new level of convenience to kitchen tasks.
Brizo's luxury line of touchless kitchen faucets allows homeowners to take the plunge into this new world of effortless water flow activation. With a simple wave of the hand, Brizo's SmartTouch technology enables precise temperature and flow control without ever touching a handle.
What is a Touchless Kitchen Faucet?
A touchless or hands-free kitchen faucet utilizes motion sensor technology to turn water on and off. An integrated sensor detects when a hand movement is made within a specified range and automatically activates water flow. There is no need to physically touch a faucet handle or lever.
Touchless faucets first became popular in public restrooms as an innovation for hygiene and accessibility. The technology has now expanded into residential kitchens and baths, offering superior convenience and ease of use.
How Brizo’s Touchless Faucets Work
Brizo touchless faucets incorporate SmartTouch technology - a motion sensor and activation system designed for precise, reliable hands-free operation.
An infrared sensor is seamlessly built into the faucet spout and electronically controls the water valves. When the sensor detects hand movement within a few inches, water flow is triggered. Users can wave on and off as needed for a truly hands-free experience.
The SmartTouch system is battery-powered for maximum install flexibility and requires no hardwiring. Batteries typically last 2-4 years before a simple replacement is needed. The sensor has an adjustable activation window to customize the detection field.

The ability to turn water on and off without touching the faucet handles is a breakthrough innovation for kitchen hygiene. By reducing the need for direct hand contact, touchless faucets help curtail the spread of germs, bacteria, and viruses.
