ABOUT MOEN MOTIONSENSE

Imagine the convenience of having a kitchen faucet that senses what you’re trying to accomplish and responds to what you need, the moment you need it. MotionSense makes it happen. With MotionSense, users can control the faucet in three ways – this includes the handle as well as two sensors engineered to eliminate the need to touch the faucet activate. A simple hand movement near the Wave or Ready sensor activates water flow and sets things in motion. This versatile, hands-free control makes it easy to accomplish a variety of routine tasks with speed and efficiency. Plus, it helps you prevent the spread of dirt and germs in your kitchen which reduces the chances for cross-contamination. Efficient operation even includes water savings because the MotionSense lower sensor will automatically supply water only when the user’s hands or an object are directly below the spout. No one will ever leave the faucet run unnecessarily again.

MotionSense is powered by battery pack or optional AC power adapter that is as easy to install as a standard kitchen faucet. Intelligent, yet intuitively simple, Moen created MotionSense based on extensive consumer behavior research. It’s another in a long list of Moen innovations that are designed to delight.

Here at Inhabitat.com and DoItYourself.com, we are huge fans of Moen’s MotionSense. Sensor faucets help you conserve water and time by allowing you to turn the faucet off and on with a wave of your hand. If you’ve ever struggled with your tap while washing dishes, lathering your hands with soap, or holding a pot with both hands and thought, “what a waste” while watching water go down the drain, you’ll appreciate how convenient and environmentally friendly sensor faucets can be. MotionSense makes doing dishes extra convenient by employing two hands-free sensors on their faucets: the Wave sensor on the top, and the Ready sensor below the spout. Of course, you can also turn MotionSense faucets on the traditional way, too, but we’re pretty sure that once you get used to hands-free, you’ll never go back.
