So one of our commercial accounts needed the control boards replaced on their automatic faucets. 2 out of the 4 units the batteries leaked and the acid ruined the boards.
Today we learned something new. After replacing the boards we tried the unit and it didn’t worked on either one and retried the other 2 they didn’t work either. So I informed them that being they were so old and hardly used the sensors must be no good and they gave us the ok to replace all of them. After picking up one of the girls came in and I asked her if any of the faucets worked and she said yes the 2 on the right but not the 2 on left, which were the ones we replaced the controls. I asked her to show me and she went to the 2 that worked and they turned on, and then she went to the other 2 I just fixed and they turned on for her but when I tried them they still didn’t work. Then it hit me, I had black rubber gloves on so I took them off and tried it and they worked for me, so for some reason the gloves didn’t trigger the sensor, I learned something new today. I still could have sold them new faucets but at almost $1000 each I think they like it better that we figured it out.
