- Infrared Sensor
The touchless faucets solely work on the sensor. The high-quality electronic sensor results in longer life and detects motion quickly. Mainly infrared is used for detecting the motion. It is placed at the lip or spout of the faucet. As soon as one takes hand under, need the spout the faucet turns on and supply till the hands are present underneath. Once you take out your hands, it cut down the water supply and prevents water wastage.

Ultrasonic Field Sensor
Some touchless faucets models come with the ultrasonic field and capacitance sensor. When you take hands underneath the spout, the capacitance sensor detects the hand and sends signals to the ultrasonic field sensor that in return, open the faucet to supply the water. When the hands are removed, it detects the absence of the hands and cuts the water supply.
Solenoid Valve
As soon as the sensor detects the presence of the object under the faucet, the solenoid valve opens and controls the water flow. It is the part of the faucet that has an electromagnet that pushes or pulls in the presence of electric polarity. The valves have rubber discs that control the flow of water. When there is an object present, the signals reach an electromagnet that pulls the disk and allow the water to flow out. But when the hands are removed, it again sends a signal that pushes back the disc to its place.
High-Quality Spout
To keep the touchless faucets working for a long time and rust-free, most designers use brass or high-grade stainless steel. Machined or die-cast
spouts are coated with nickel or chromium to improve the life of the faucet further. The companies are designing aesthetic and elegant models to inspire consumers. Contemporary Infrared Waterfall Motion Sensor Faucet is a decent and stylish faucet in the market that is reliable because of the superior quality sensor and high-quality construction.
  
Power Source
All three parts are the assembly of the faucets, but to run the system smoothly, the gadgets are powered with batteries or low voltage electric current. Both types are reliable. The powered faucets not only sense the object under spout but also come with an LED light that color changes according to the water temperature. One of the well-known models that we find in the market with LED technology is the Water Powered LED Motion Sensor Waterfall Automatic Faucet.
The dual feature of high-tech faucet is incredible. It not only has a touchless water supply system but also changes color on variation in temperature. For temperature range 20 to 29, it displays a blue color; for 30 to 39, it displays green color while above 40 degrees, you will see a red display. Means before taking hand underneath, you will have an idea about water temperature and avoid taking in if it’s too hot.   
Touchless faucets are available in a different variety; some are cheap, while others are pricy. If you want to make your money valuable, then don’t compromise on quality and try to buy on the faucets designed by the well-known brand that offers a warranty as well. The motion sensor faucets are reliable and work for many years if you choose a high-quality brand along with using the delicate taps
