Save Water! Kitchen Faucet with Foot Pedal

Step 8 You're in Business!

That's it! Make sure your shut-off valves under the sink are turned on, turn on the faucet, and step on the pedal. If everything went as planned, you should see something like this:

Make sure to check for leaks again, as this will be the first time water will be traveling from the solenoid valve to the faucet. Also, test both the hot and cold settings to make sure both solenoids are working properly.

Hope you find this useful!

how about adding threaded 'T's before and after each (normally closed) solenoid and using an in-line ball valve for the hot and cold sides. simply reach under the sink and open each valve to set up for using the mixer handle. close the valves to return to foot switched solenoids. with some creative routing of tubing you could mount the valves near the front inside of the sink cabinet to avoid having to get on hands and knees

Hello, Use some pedals like the one you find in hospital (ER) non electricity, don't have to recharge the batteries etc.

Those are very expensive, though, and aren't something that can be retrofitted easily.
