The design of this faucet is centered around the concept of visualizing water consumption. By incorporating a glass tube, the faucet allows users to see exactly how much water they have used. This not only raises awareness about water conservation but also encourages users to be more mindful of their water usage.
The operation of the faucet is simple and intuitive. To turn on the water flow, users need to press the faucet's outlet and tilt it downwards. Conversely, lifting the outlet up to a level position will close the faucet. This innovative switching method eliminates the need for a separate switch, ensuring a clean and hygienic user experience.
One of the standout features of this design is the glass tube that stores water. The tube is specifically designed to hold just enough water for one person to wash their hands. This not only reduces water wastage but also slows down the flow of water, promoting efficient water usage. When the glass tube runs out of water, users can simply turn off the faucet and then reopen it to immediately refill the tube.
The faucet is made of cast iron pipe and glass tube, combining durability and functionality. Its compact size of 60mm * 35mm * 248mm makes it suitable for various bathroom settings. The minimalist design and the use of high-quality materials ensure that this faucet will seamlessly blend into any modern bathroom.
