Sensors are finicky, especially with hard water around here.
Gotta push back a bit on the sensor blame. I mean, yeah, hard water can mess with anything, but in my experience, most issues are just user error or, you know, sticky notes. I’ve had more trouble with old-school leaky handles than any touchless tap. The real villain is usually the gunk people never clean off the sensor. A little wipe-down every week and you’re golden... unless you’ve got a post-it addiction.

That’s probably true, but I swear I’m wiping mine down all the time and it still acts up sometimes. Maybe it’s just my water, or maybe I’m missing something obvious? I do agree about old-school handles though—had one in my last place that dripped no matter what I did. Has anyone tried those faucets with the manual override? Wondering if that’s worth it for peace of mind.
Yeah, I hear you—sometimes it feels like no matter how much you clean, the sensor just does its own thing. Hard water can definitely mess with them, leaving spots that are tough to see. Manual override is handy if you’ve got folks who get frustrated with the sensor not working right away. I’ve seen a few in restaurants and they seem less finicky, but maybe that’s just luck.
