The kitchen has long ceased to be a room used only for cooking. Similarly, the sink area is no longer just a place to wash dishes. Much more is required from this part of the kitchen - both in terms of usability and aesthetics. In modern arrangements, where design, comfort and ecology are of key importance, touch-sensitive kitchen faucets can be found more and more often at the sink. We explain how the touchscreen kitchen faucet works, how it affects the convenience of using the kitchen and how to care for it so that it remains functional and looks great for a long time.

How does a touch kitchen faucet work?
Standard kitchen faucets are equipped with one or two handles with which you start and stop the water flow and regulate the stream strength and water temperature. Touch kitchen faucets work differently. This is a type of electronic fittings controlled by touch. There is no need to use levers or turn taps to start or stop the water flow. Thanks to various innovative technologies used by fittings manufacturers (such as the EasyTouch technology integrated with the GROHE Minta Touch touch faucet), the touch kitchen faucet immediately responds to every, even gentle, touch.
You can activate the water stream not only with your fingers, but also with your wrist or forearm. Just lightly touch the spout or body. Skin contact is important. The touch kitchen faucet has a handle, but it is used for precise regulation of the flow volume and temperature of the water stream. In the case of a model with a thermostatic mixing valve, you activate the warm flow and control the water temperature without the risk of scalding.
How will a touchscreen kitchen faucet improve your use of the kitchen?
Modern touch faucets respond to a subtle touch, which allows you to turn on and off the water flow without leaving any marks on the surface of the device. This solution meets the expectations of cooking and... hygiene enthusiasts. While working in the kitchen, our hands are often dirty, and when we use the sink, we transfer dirt to the tap. Touch kitchen faucets effectively solve this problem. You touch the fitting with a clean wrist or forearm and water immediately begins to flow out. Practical and hygienic. An additional advantage of the touch kitchen faucet is the minimization of persistent fingerprints on its surface. If you like your entire kitchen to be sparkling clean, you will 100% appreciate the ability to control the faucet by touch.
By choosing a touch model, you benefit from all the functions and technologies available in standard, modern sink faucets. An extremely useful solution that can be found in kitchen touch taps is a pull-out, swivel spout with a 360° rotation angle. It is responsible for increasing the range of the water stream, which allows you to easily wash large pots, fill a vessel on the counter, efficiently rinse vegetables and fruits, or thoroughly and easily clean the sink.
The aeration aerator ensures a significant reduction in water consumption in the kitchen. This is a small element located at the end of the spout. The aerator, by mixing water with air, makes the stream increase in volume. You don't feel that even half as much water flows from the tap. You will experience savings in your home budget. Moreover, by using water consciously, you care for the natural environment and shape good habits in the youngest household members.
How to care for a touch kitchen faucet?
The rules for maintaining your kitchen fittings model can be found in the instructions attached to the product. If you have any questions about cleaning, please contact your dealer or manufacturer. Before purchasing, it is worth checking whether a given faucet model uses technologies that facilitate cleaning and prevent the accumulation of limescale deposits.
