Does the handle of the faucet need to be in the on position for the faucet to work? Does the module have a temperature setting or is it the last temp

Yes, it needs to be in the on position. If you are asking if there is a way to adjust the temperature (or speed of flow) without touching the handle, there is not. You can turn it on or off by waving at it, but the rate of water and the temperature will be whatever you set the handle to last.

Yes. You can push it in to turn the water off so it won't come on when you wave your hand by the sensor, but I don't. I keep it on all the time and turn it on and off with a sweep of my hand. I keep it in the "hot" position because it takes a little while for my water to get hot (tankless heater) so that if I want hot water it is on the way to getting there. If it doesn't matter or I want it cold, that's how it is for the first 20-30 seconds anyway. If I seriously want cold water I can turn the handle to the cold setting. It is a really great faucet and I love it! But it doesn't work when the power is out, so be sure you have a generator or be willing to get water from another sink until the power comes on. Yes.

The faucet handle must be in the "on" position for the faucet to function. If the faucet is left running without any other activity, it will shut off after a minute or so as to avoid water use being used unintentionally.The faucet will operate at the last temperature used while running or at the temperature set when turned on thereafter.

The touchless on-off works with the faucet handle (set to the temp you leave it on last) in the on position, however you can manually turn it on and off too (but why would you spend the money on this faucet if you're using it manually???).

The handle does need to be in the "on" position for the touch sensor to work. Whatever position the handle is in also sets the amount of flow and the temperature. So, I leave it in my preferred position all the time, but can easily adjust the water using the handle. Basically, you always have the option of using the handle as an "over ride."

It has to be mounted on the right side. The faucet only swivels 180 degrees. It would have to rotate 360 degrees in order to reverse the handle. Also as another responder mentioned, the hot and cold is limited to a fixed 90 position.

The faucet has two parts. The mixing valve which is attached to handle used turn on the water and adjust the temperature and the pressure regulator that automatically maintains the pressure at the mixing valve. If you can't adjust the temperature the pressure regulator probably is broken. However, you might as well replace both.

I cannot confirm this, but the water at the faucett turns from cold to hot in about the same time as when I was using a tank heater. Hope this helps.

We had the faucet installed by a plumber and have not had a single problem....other than not positioning the handle completely off. We are quite pleased with our faucet!

Yes you can adjust the temperature and how much water is flowing while the faucet is on. You need to use the handle to do this.

Had similar problem. There is a plastic thermal limiter inside the faucet assembly - if you remove it you might enjoy better temp control. Another possibility is the plumber may not have set the hot and cold volume controls correctly

This faucet is both hot and cold. It was very easy to install on our wet bar beverage center, and works very well, and looks great. I hope this is helpful.

It's controlled by a thermal switch normally open set at around 35 to 36 degrees, then turns off around 43 degrees. Is set to keep the water from freezing. I've taken it apart and had to replace the thermal switch on a few of them, they tend to go bad when they get wet. Stv

You may orientate the faucet control to suit your needs. As requested by my parents, I installed the control in the front to allow the lever to go from left to right for temperature selection, and to be pulled towards you to adjust for the flow rate. If you often pull the faucet head to spray, you shouldn't allow it to snap back because if will hit part of the control handle. your mileage may vary.

Technically it is for both. I suppose you could just hook up your cold water. Then the position for "cold" would work as needed. When the lever is pushed towards where the warm flow would happen, then nothing would come out is all. Its a nice faucet...love it for this price. Otherwise you might just look at say a R.O. faucet like this one: http://www.theperfectwater.com/Parche-RO-Faucet.html I have it as well and it's nice...however you won't get the flow that you would in a regular sink faucet I'd guess.

This seem not be the faucet's fault but more an issue of the water feed from the heater? E.g. is it better once you have used the hot water, once it is hot, then change it back to cold then hot again and then there is no wait-time? If so, you know for a fact that it's not a faucet-issue..

The faucet doesn't control hot & cold. Hot and cold are controlled by the main water handle on the bathtub!

You can adjust the water flow using the handle just like any other faucet but when using the touchless on/off feature the water flow cannot be controlled. You can only manually control the water temperature using the touchless feature but not the flow level.

Sorry. I'm not a Plumber. But, I do recall reading there is a ring that controls the hot water setting on these faucets. I think that is separate from this cartridge. It is part of the assembly, but not apart of this cartridge. I bought this because our faucet was leaking and this cartridge fixed the leak.

It is fixed to the right. The handle then moves from the upright position to 90 degrees forward to control the temp of the water.
