Electronic Faucet or Automatic Water Tap History

Automatic Faucet names electronic tap, sensor faucet, touchless faucet as well as hands free faucet. Automatic Water Tap History, electronic faucet history will tell you more about Sensor Activated, Battery and Electric Powered water taps.

Automatic faucets were first developed in the 1950’s but were not produced for commercial use till the late 1980’s when they first appeared (to the general public) at airport lavatories. Story has it that the first airport to adopt the new technology, is O’Hare Airport. Called by other names such as Electronic Faucet, Sensor Faucet, Hands Free Faucet, Touch-less Faucet, even Infrared Faucet, automatic faucets have become a central theme in the American experience. They are now found in places far removed from airports and other institutions, places like restaurants, hotels, casinos, malls, sports arenas, as well as residential properties.

Known for their assistive qualities, automatic faucets are making their presence felt at assistive living establishments and places where the elderly and/or handicapped individuals call home. Automatic faucets are water saving devices, helping save 70% of the water that would otherwise swirl down the drain unused and conserve as much as 3-5% of the water used by a standard household. Other benefits of automatic faucets are found in inhibiting the spread of gems which are known to thrive on faucet handles, as well as help prevent or mitigate scalding incidents caused by hot water flowing out of the faucet, having said that, I should caution the readers that automatic faucets, on their own, are not considered anti-scalding devices.
