How Automatic Bathroom Faucets Work

Automatic bathroom faucets have battery operated or electrically powered sensors that detect motion near the faucets and trigger the water to flow. The sensors could be found either at the base of the faucet or on its head. Some sensors have the capability to change the temperature of the water.
