Traditional vs. sensor faucets.
Traditional faucet is one with the typical manually controlled handles that open and close the valves to allow the water to flow. Different traditional faucets vary in terms of styles of handles and finishes. Ball faucets, disc faucets, cartridge faucets, and compression faucets are some common types of traditional faucets.

On the other hand are touchless/ sensor faucets that make use of sensor technology. These faucets do not require the user to touch the faucet in any way to turn on the water flow. Instead, these rely on presence sensors that can detect the presence of hands whenever they are brought under it. The sensor located at the base of the snout detects when hands are brought under it and automatically open the valves to allow the water to flow. As soon as the hands are removed from under the faucet, the valves close and the water stops flowing.

Common types of faucets
Ball faucet: Ball faucets comprise of a single handle with a round cap located above the spout. Whenever the handle moves, the ball moves along with it and controls the flow of water.
