ABSTRACT:
This device is an automatic faucet with three temperature settings activated by a pressure switch which is mounted on or near the floor by the user's foot. The invention includes a device which will, after a period of time, automatically turn the water off after the switch has been depressed. In the preferred embodiment, the user upon approaching the sink, could, by viewing indicator lights, readily discern whether a hot, cold or warm temperature setting has been selected.
