The Minta Touch faucet embraces the latest technology resulting in a faucet that is hygienic and water efficient, offering electronic and mechanical operation. To open the faucet electronically, the user needs to touch the spout and the water flow will start. For user safety, the electronic and mechanical opening features work independent. Even if the last person to use the faucet mechanically used hot water, when the faucet is opened electronically the water will start to the preset temperature.
