That was my first thought also. I wonder how noisy to YOU that faucet 
might be?
 I know a touch lamp on the wife's side of the bed I kill on 40 meters, 
it has three brightness levels and of course off. With every dit it 
changes a level. and when it is on it kills me on every band. so when I 
plan on getting on, it gets un-plugged.

Hi Keith,
 I'd start by touching base with ARRL's RFI group. Years ago, I heard 
that touch lamps were not practical to fix, and these faucets may be 
more of the same. I'm guessing super cheap electronics, running wide 
open, pretty hi-Z inputs. Could be, for example, a free-running 
oscillator that gets detuned by proximity. Several years ago, W4UAT 
gave me a touch-switched LCD monitor that not only put out a ton of RF 
trash, but turned flips from contest-grade RF. It was no better 
behaved for me than for Larry, and I gave it away.

 Anyone know how to shield a touch faucet? The model I have is Delta 
Faucet Leland Touch Kitchen Faucet. It is powered by 6 AA batteries.  
The battery pack is connected to the valve via a pair of wires about 
3 feet in length.  There is also a single wire about two feet in 
length connecting the valve to the faucet.
Thanks for any advice.
