Digital faucets or taps feature built-in infrared sensors that instantly turn on the water supply when you place your hands under the tap. The short-timed water supply prevents wastage as compared to standard taps. Kohler, Jaquar and others offer sleek digital faucets.
Tip: Look for automatic soap dispensers to complement the faucets. Just place your palm below the dispenser to get a coin-sized supply of your choice of soap. Dettol has a no-touch, budget-friendly one that runs on battery power.
