After finishing using, you move to turn off the faucet. During these periods, the water still runs. Someone may say it is negligible but after many times and many days, it grows. If you use a sensor faucet, water only runs when you put your hand before sensor. You don’t need to do extra motion. Sensor faucet ensures the precise amount of water necessary.
