Instead of the traditional or touching switch, the designer inspired by the storage principle of water fountain makes the sink faucet could store a certain amount of water flowing out when pulling the ring of it from bottom to top.

You can also press the regulating valve next to sink faucet to adjust the amount of water, which is very humane. In addition, if you want to fill the entire basin, you can press the control button at the bottom of the sink faucet. Then the water will flow out constantly to meet the needs under different conditions.

The consequence is that your hands with hand sanitizer can not be cleaned instantly, because you have to close the faucet to wait for it conserving water again.
