Comments on: Touchy About Faucets http://meyerweb.com/eric/thoughts/2012/03/30/touchy-about-faucets/ Things that Eric A. Meyer, CSS expert, writes about on his personal Web site; it's largely Web standards and Web technology, but also various bits of culture, politics, personal observations, and other miscellaneous stuff Fri, 10 May 2013 11:50:23 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.5.1 By: Cris (without an H) http://meyerweb.com/eric/thoughts/2012/03/30/touchy-about-faucets/#comment-656774 Cris (without an H) Tue, 03 Apr 2012 15:02:16 +0000 http://meyerweb.com/eric/thoughts/?p=1634#comment-656774 Looks like Delta decided to implement a :hover mega-dropdown on their plumbing, with real-world results as disruptive as the web equivalent.

Scalding isn’t a danger for us, as we’ve set the water heaters to 125ºF/52ºC due to having (very) small ones in the house, but sleeve-soaking is an ever-present threat.

We just completed our kitchen reno in February and while the touch-sensitive faucet seemed like a great idea, it has caused our share of frustration as well.

Our frustration is compounded by the fact that at the back of our sink, we have a “breakfast bar” type arrangement. We’re constantly passing food through/over the sink area to hand to the children. I can’t count the number of times I’ve soaked a sleeve by simply brushing the faucet while handing the food over. Thankfully, I haven’t scalded myself yet. Yet.
