Electronic Faucet Saves Time/Water
When I saw the new Pascal electronic faucet by Brizo, product manager Bob
Rodenbeck was touting the electronic sensors. My experience with electronic faucet sensors had been limited to public washrooms where i frantically wave my hands
begging for water to appear. Once running they shut off too quickly, and I have to seemingly pretend I left the basin before I can get the faucet to dein more.
So I met Brizo's declaration that this new faucet would be a boon to cooks -- with a
healthy dose of skepticism. One would it work? And two, why would I need it?
To the first, Brizo uses a broader sensor -- the eye is actually in the spigot so any
motion that crosses the stream path triggers it. I can attest that I was able to control it with every wave - and calibrate and set the water to the desired temp.
But it was while watching Indianapoiis Chef Chris Liechti prepare fresh vegetables
and cheese dishes, that it hit me how often I need running water -- and how I leave
it running for convenience to clean produce, peel eggs or trim meat. Instead Chef
Liechti waved the utensil, water flowed, knife cleaned and water turned itself off. Now that's a modern convenience -- saving time and natural resources.
The sleek lined Pascal faucet is available throughout North America in stainless or polished chrome. Brizo intends to have more styles available shortly.
Hopefully someone from those public washrooms will read how faucets should work.
