Frequently Asked Questions

---

The main reason many touchless faucets stop working is battery failure, and engineers often don’t have the time for frequent replacements. That’s why these faucets are usually limited to public restrooms with multiple sinks and rarely found in single-sink areas like hotel rooms, hospital rooms, or nursing homes.

SmartFaucets uses hydroelectric rechargeable batteries, eliminating the need for constant replacements. Bathroom staff can simply plug in the unit before or during cleaning.

• A 30-minute charge typically powers the faucet for one full month.
   
• A full 3-hour charge (from 0%) supports up to 12,000 uses.
   
• That means:
   
  • 30-minute charge = ~2,000 uses (or 50/day).
     
  • 100 uses/day = charge twice a month (30 min each).
     
  • 150 uses/day = charge three times a month.
     

• No need for engineers to handle battery changes — saving time and labor costs.
   
• Eco-friendly, reducing the need for disposable batteries that harm the environment.
   

Unlike most brands on the market, SmartFaucets offers four innovative features that combine sustainability, durability, and user-friendly technology:

1. Hydroelectric Rechargeable Battery
Powered by the flow of water, SmartFaucets eliminates the need for disposable batteries significantly reducing environmental waste and long-term maintenance.

2. IAPMO Certified for 550,000 Uses
SmartFaucets is IAPMO-certified to operate 550,000 times without failure — translating to a 30-year lifespan with average daily use (50 times/day).
While most sensor faucets cost $500–$600 and last only 5 years, SmartFaucets delivers unmatched longevity, saving on replacement costs, water, gas, electricity, paper towels, and trash disposal.
Over 30 years, conventional sensor faucets can cost over $2,500 due to frequent replacements — SmartFaucets avoids that.

3. Patented Adjustable Timer
Our patented timer is factory-set to 5 seconds but can easily be adjusted to 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, or 60 seconds — ideal for brushing teeth, filling a cup, or soaking laundry.
Unlike traditional sensor faucets that require one hand to activate and the other to hold a container, SmartFaucets delivers water hands-free with programmable precision.

4. Patented Pre-set Touch Temperature
With a simple knuckle tap, users can choose between 65°F, 80°F, 95°F, or 110°F — with 80°F as the default for warm, comfortable water.
This system is more sanitary and efficient than the common mini-dial system, which often spreads germs and wastes water during manual adjustments.

SmartFaucets isn’t just a faucet — it’s a smart, sustainable solution designed for the future.

SmartFaucets' 2 Patented Technologies: Timer & Temperature Control

1. Patented Preset Timer – Water Savings Made Simple
SmartFaucets features a patented preset timer that automatically shuts off the water after filling a cup — perfect for brushing teeth, shaving, washing your face, inserting contact lenses, or removing makeup.
This simple automation can save 2 gallons per use, totaling 5–6 gallons per day, or up to 2,000 gallons per person per year.

2. Patented Preset Temperature – Comfort Without Waste
The faucet offers four preset temperature options — 65°F, 80°F, 95°F, and 110°F, with 80°F as the default — delivering warm water that’s ideal for most users.

Because no one likes washing their hands with cold water, this feature offers:

• Comfort and convenience without manual adjustments
   
• Water savings by avoiding constant faucet handle changes
   
• Hygiene, as temperature is adjusted by a simple knuckle touch, avoiding direct contact with surfaces
   

Just 10 manual adjustments of 10–12 seconds each per day can waste up to 2 gallons, or around 1,000 gallons per person per year.

Combined, SmartFaucets' timer and temperature features can save nearly 3,000 gallons of water per person per year — while improving sanitation, comfort, and sustainability.
