No longer just for commercial kitchens, now there are foot pedal controlled kitchen faucets available for home use. If you aren't familiar with what these are, faucets can be turned on and off using a small foot pedal on the floor. We've all experienced the problem - both your hands are covered in a mess, whether from raw meat or a sticky substance, and you need to turn on the kitchen taps to wash your hands. Instead of struggling to turn the faucets on in some other manner, or getting the faucet handles dirty, you can simply push on a foot pedal to control the flow of water in your tap.

Water Savers

In addition to being very handy when hands are messy or occupied, a foot pedal kitchen faucet also helps reduce water waste. Control of the water flow is much greater because you don't have to let water run while your hands are busy or dirty. A simple touch of the foot can turn off the water to prevent wasted use. While washing dishes, a pedal is very handy because it leaves both hands free to work.

Retain your Normal Faucet Use

Installing a foot pedal system does not mean losing your original faucet functionality. When not using the pedal system, you can still use the faucet the way you did previously. Switching between systems is as simple as the push of a button (with your foot!)
