Some touchless faucets always come with high prices and low value. This economic automatic sensor faucet KEG-822D/A/AD at a quite cheap price is used widely in public restrooms. The touchless faucet uses active infrared sensor technology that allows starting the flow of water without touching the faucet.
Active infrared touchless sensors use the emission and reception of infrared beams to detect the presence and/or movement of objects or people in their field of detection. The technology is ideal for applications requiring a long and narrow detection range.
The economic sensor faucet has a motion sensor at the base of the faucet. When people put their hands near the faucet and in the sensor detection area, the water starts flowing automatically. When your hands leave, the water stops. Or waiting after the setting minutes, normally 60 seconds and the water stops.
The working principle is easy, for more details, you can check our blog here.

A touchless faucet uses active infrared sensor technology that allows you to start the flow of water without touching the faucet. Instead, just place your hand in frontof the sensor will start the water flow, and the water will stop when you take your hand away. If you forget to close the no-touch faucet, no problem, the sensor IC and program will control the water to stop automatically after 3mins continuously flow, time can be set. More excitingly, the design of most touchless faucets is stylish and elegant to fit all basins,sink or lavatory, from classic to modern.
Yes, the touchless faucet is quite reliable. The technology of the infrared sensor is stable and developed for many years. Every KEGE touchless faucets are tested by life testing, the valve on/off testing, infrared sensor distance testing, and salt spraying testing. Sensor lifespan:500,000 times on and off, valve lifespan:1,000,000 times opening.
In the future of modern smart homes, a touchless bathroom faucet is also one core part. They’re cool, for one thing, as their motion sensors always give you some sort of smart, modern techy feelings. Plus, a touch-free faucet keeps your fixture and bathroom clean, it’s a good hygienic choice and decreases the risk of contracting viruses and diseases.
Touchless faucets use infrared sensor technology that allows you to start the flow of water without touching the faucet. Instead, just placing your hand under the spout sensor, the sensor will give the solenoid valve a signal to open, then the water will start flow; When you take your hand away, the sensor will indicate the solenoid valve to close, then water flow will stop.
The touchless faucet needs electricity for sure. Both the sensor and solenoid valve works need electricity power. Normally three choices: DC 6V: 4xAA alkaline batteries; AC: using a transformer to transfer power from 220V/380V to 6V; Both DC/AC models existed, firstly use AC power to work, if AC no power then DC start to work.
6V with 4xAA alkaline batteries shall last approximately 3000 times/month for one year.
1. Battery issue: battery no power or battery installed in the wrong direction. 2. Sensor issue: the sensor got damaged, the surface was not clean, or the a waterproof cable connection issue. 3. Solenoid valve issue: the filter in the valve is blocked or the valve is damaged.
