It doesn't do much good to buy new things every year when some new technology comes out. Why don't you just use less water instead of spending hundreds on fancy new gadgets?

Has anyone proven this with an unbiased study, or is this a marketing statement for the perfect world I would someday like to live in? Time and time again when I use a public restroom with these installed they are either not working correctly and in that case I have to assume people are frustrated and not property washing their hands or there always seems to be a unit with a continuous flow of water not shutting off properly. “A motion sensor will be able to expertly track when you need H2O to flow.”

Incandescent bulbs are mercury free and their heat clears humidity....and in the winter they are a heat source.
