Why do you need a touchless faucet? What are the benefits for touchless faucets?

1. Convenient
People of all ages, including children and older adults, can easily use touchless faucets. To operate the flow of water, all you need to do is wave your hand in front of the sensor, and it turns off automatically when you've finished. You can place your cup under the faucet or wave your hand over the top to activate the sensor.
2. Avoid spreading germs
When you wash your hands, you could leave bacteria and viruses on the handles. These germs which can get stuck on your sink's finish could get back onto your hands. If your faucets can turn on without touching them with contaminated hands, you can prevent the spread of germs, and keep your family healthy especially during flu season.
3. Easy to clean
Water stain would not attach to the faucet cause not touching needed so you don't have to clean it often. While traditional touch faucets include several elements, touchless faucets are made as a single unit. It means no handles to clean or replace if they break. You also don't need to clean touchless faucets as often as you do tranditional type because they don't come into contact with as many germs.
4. Save water and energy
Touchless faucets shut off automatically after each use, reducing water waste. Kids may leave the faucet running and play with the water when they use it, or someone else in the house may leave the water running as they go out of the room. A touchless faucet eliminates this waste. It only turns on when you need it. Over time, this will save you a lot of water, which is good for the environment and your water bills.

Aquaterior - Bathroom Faucet: Do I need to keep my hand close to the sensor for hot water?/ How can I get heat water faster?

Please note that water only flows when the sensor can sense your hand. You can keep you hand in front of the sensor until hot water starts to flow. How long the water takes to get hot depends on your water heater, not the faucet.
Why does it take so long to get hot water to my faucet?
The main reason is that the cold water in the pipes must be out before the hot water can get to the faucet. Any water left in the pipes will cool down, effectively becoming cold water. When you turn on the hot water faucet and the water leaves the heater, it must travel the distance to the faucet. The greater the distance, the longer it takes.
Ways to get hot water faster
1. Using a recirculation hot water system
A recirculation system has hot water always circulating through the system, so it can be available at every faucet immediately. The greatest advantage of the system is immediate hot water at every faucet and showerhead, which saves time and reduces the amount of wasted water.
2. Using a demand hot water system
A demand system works much like a recirculating system and can be added to existing houses. With a demand hot water system, a pump attaches to the hot and cold-water supplies. At the press of a button, the cool water recirculates back to the water heater through the cold water hose and water from the heater is brought to the faucet.
3. Using a tank water heater
A tank water heater provides a water heating source very close to a sink. A tank water heater is similar to the traditional whole-home tank water heater, but it is smaller.

Can I change an aerator to adjust GPM?

Given different purpose and needs, users can adjut the GPM of the faucet by replacing a different type aerator. Aerators screw into kitchen and bathroom faucets. Holes in the screens add air to the water as it streams out of the faucet. Faucet aerators are screens at the end of a faucet. The devices reduce the amount of water that comes out of a faucet and control the stream. If you need to adjust the GPM, please just remove the old one and replace a new one. Please refer to the uninstallation process according to the manual of the faucet.

How to remove the aerator?

Turn the aerator counter-clockwise (as viewed upward from below the spout) to unscrew it from the spout. If this does not work, try moving the pliers a quarter-turn around the aerator, and try unscrewing the aerator from the new position. (Moving to different positions can gradually loosen a stubborn aerator.)

How to choose a bathroom faucet according to my desktop and bathroom style?

Choosing a faucet according to types, finishes and styles and water flow. You'll probably live with your new faucet a long time, so you might as well love it.
Faucet Types:
Single-hole faucets combine the spout and mixing handles'often a single lever'into one unit that requires only one drilled sink hole. For retrofits, some models include a bottom plate that will cover existing three-hole openings.
Center-set faucets fit standard three-hole sinks. They'll have either a single lever or two handles mounted on a plate.
Widespread mounts have three separate pieces: Two handles and the spout. The standard distance between the handles is at least 8 inches, and the three pieces tend to be larger than other types of bath faucets.
Faucet Finishes:
Polished finishes are elegant but require constant upkeep to keep them looking sparkly. Brushed finishes are better at hiding water spots and fingerprints, which is great if you have kids.
We offer chrome, brushed nickel and oil rubbed bronze finishes for our bathroom faucets.
Faucet Styles:
Avoid a tiny faucet on a big, bold sink, and vice-versa. Also make sure that the style, such as contemporary or classic, matches that of the sink.
Flow:
The technology used to achieve exceptionally frugal flows either is built into the faucet body or applied to the aerator, the little screw-on tip that fits on the end of your faucet. Smartly engineered low-flow aerators will automatically adjust for pressure fluctuations, successfully restricting water while maintaining a full, powerful flow.
