Troubleshoot Automatic Faucets [2012-01-09]

Automatic Electronic Shower provide hands-free use enabling the user to wash his hands without touching handles which may have germs from previous users. They are also engineered to save money by limiting how long the water remains on while in use, and to restrict the amount of water pressure. Sensor faucets have been available for commercial applications for several years but have only recently become affordable for home use. Because of their automatic nature, some issues may arise that need to be addressed.

1 Replace the batteries if the faucet will not turn on. Examine the sensor wire if replacing the batteries did not correct the problem. Ground the sensor wire according to the installation instructions in your owner's manual.

2 Clean the aerator if the faucet's water pressure is low or the water sprays out to the sides of the Electronic Sensor Faucet instead of down into the sink. Replace the aerator if any of the internal parts appear damaged or worn out. Use a larger aerator if needed to increase the water flow through the faucet.

3 Inspect the plumbing connections if you notice leaking water under the sink. Turn off the water supply and replace any damaged water lines or washers. If you have a compression-style faucet that leaks from the spout, check the valve seat and seat washer. Replace these items if they are cracked or worn out. Other types of faucets have disks or cartridges that you must change periodically.

4 Remove the batteries if your faucet fails to shut off. If the water continues to run, the solenoid is either dirty or broken. Replace the batteries and listen to the Automatic Hand Washer as it attempts to shut off. If you see the light flash and the solenoid clicks, it may only need cleaning. If there is no click, replace the solenoid.
