  • the invention relates to a faucet wherein the water flow may be controlled via a mechanical controller and/or in a touchless manner via an electronic controller or the flow may be prevented independently of said controllers.
  • faucets which enable the water to be supplied for use in a controlled manner, more specifically, enable the water flow to be started and stopped and the flow rate to be controlled.
  • the use of the faucets able to be controlled in a touchless manner has currently become widespread.
  • a sensor is present on the faucet body and the water flow is started or stopped as a result of said sensor being triggered.
  • the members enabling the water flow rate or the water mixture temperature to be adjusted are most of the time unable to be included in said faucets and thus it is not possible to adjust the water temperature and flow rate.
  • the adjustment members employed in such embodiments do not allow the adjustment of the water temperature with the required precision.
  • the water flow is controlled by only one controller and this may lead to the water leakages and overflows as a result of the wear in said controller.
  • the water flow may start as a result of triggering during the cleaning or other involuntary triggering actions and may cause undesirable water consumption.

  • the flow rate and the water mixture temperature may be controlled via a mechanical controller and the water flow may be started and stopped via the same controller, the water flow may be started or stopped in a touchless manner, the flow rate and the temperature of the water flow started in a touchless manner may be adjusted via the mechanical controller and the start of the water flow via the mechanical controller as well as in a touchless manner may be prevented by a third controller.
  • An object of the invention is to develop a faucet wherein the water flow may be started and stopped via a mechanical controller or in a touchless manner via an electronic controller and further the start of the water flow via either controller may be prevented.
  • Another object of the invention is to develop a faucet wherein, in the case the start and stop of the water flow are controlled via the mechanical controller or via the electronic controller, the water flow rate and/or the water mixture temperature may be adjusted via the mechanical controller.
