Sounds like a GREAT reason NOT to use those things. Touch-activated
items have been banned from my QTH for decades now.

Another thought on these is water waste/cost?
Or for those of us out in the nice RF quiet Boonies,
Imaging you go somewhere say a vacation. And while you are gone for
some reason it turns on.
Many many people have just holding tanks for their waste from the
house imaging when you get home and your tank is full to overflowing
and who knows how much of the house is flooded?

Is this a Delta faucet? I have one two and it also will come on
during a thunderstorm. I tried using ferrite on all of the leads,
and wrapping as much as I could in tinfoil to no avail. We are no
longer using the touch "feature". I have also heard of problems with
the motion or iR sensing faucets too. Friend had a cat that jumped
up onto the counter and turned on the water, Chuck K9LC

[CQ-Contest] RFI Faucet I do a lot of baking, so decided to purchase
and install a new touch operated faucet for the kitchen sink in the
ham shack. It works great, allowing washing hands without messing
with the faucet handle. However, I recently discovered the faucet
turns on when I transmit power on 20 meters. Also, my XYL decided
she wanted one of these faucets for the main kitchen, and informed me
that her faucet behaved erratically one evening when I was operating
CW on 80 meters with 800 watts.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.73, Keith
