Stop the Spread of Germs with Specialty Faucets [infographic]

At Wake Forest Plumbing Company, we understand that anything that keeps your family or those at your business as healthy as possible is a step in the right direction. If you are interested in stopping the spread of germs at your Wake Forest, North Carolina home or business, we recommend installing a faucet that keeps the objective of germ reduction in mind. Here are a few options to consider:

• Faucets with Sensors- A faucet that uses a sensor to turn on and shut off automatically avoids the transmission of germs on the handle. With hands-free operation, you can prevent contamination and keep it from jumping from one person to the next.

• Faucets with Pedal Valves- In a commercial setting, faucets that let the user turn them on and off using their knee or foot is quite effective for reducing the spread of germs.
• Faucets with Antimicrobial Coatings- The permanent coating on these faucets inhibits microorganism growth, including fungi, bacteria, and germs, to reduce cross-contamination.
• Faucet Adapters- Some standard aerators work to pull air in which can cause them to become contaminated more easily. Ask us about non-aerated outlet devices and other solutions to reduce this potential for contamination from airborne germs.
