Foot Power!

@cryandesign A tool for everything…A touch sensitive faucet is making hands everywhere happy. http://budurl.com/ndyd *Cute Ad--and I want that.

@JustinHaugens @cryandesign Would be easier to just have foot pedals so you could turn off the water while scrubbing your hands. Then you save water too!

@cryandesign @JustinHaugens sounds like a good idea! : )

@JustinHaugens @cryandesign Whenever we get to the point of renovating a home, that's a primary goal for each sink. Now we just have to renovate a home!

@cryandesign @JustinHaugens Hi again! I'm actually in the process of redoing my kitchen....hmmmm, i'm gonna look into this pedal thing : )

@JustinHaugens @cryandesign http://bit.ly/1Ir4Vd That might help sway you...

Something so simple, yet, aren't the simple things what we overlook first?  What we seem to forget or it just doesn't come to mind...

A simple suggestion just might help out in the long run.  The original link @cryandesign posted was about Delta's new hands free on/off setup that allows you to simply tap the faucet and the water turns on.  I believe it is a great idea, but the basis of this design is connected to a different design that has been around for quite some time, just not typically in your home.

The link I provided to sway her was about foot pedals for your sink.  No need to tap the the faucet head, just guide your foot to the pedal to turn on the water.  While lathering up your hands and scrubbing simply release the pedal to start the conservation.  Just how much water?

You can reduce water use by 50% using pedal controllers, and if it’s hot water, you’ll be saving power too.

In a four-person household, the use of pedal controllers in the kitchen alone can save up to 7500 gallons of water annually, as well as conserve the energy needed to heat those gallons.

What I like most about foot pedals would be the increase in efficiency when washing your hands or dishes, filling pots for cooking, the list could go on!
