I got this yesterday and put batteries in it to see the lights work, they are not. Does the faucet have to be hooked up to water before they work?

Yes the lights will only come on when the water is running, blue for cold Green is warm and red for hot. I hope your good at changing a faucet out I had to exchange my three times before giving up on them.

Yes water needs to flow before the lights go on. The lights tell water temp so no water no lights. It pretty pretty good too.

The lights only come on once you turn on the faucet. The water needs to run through it in order to work. Good luck with it. We sure did not have it since it stopped working after a few days. In our experience, not worth the price and effort to install it.

Hi Laura, Yes it does have to be hooked up. It is temperture controlled which changes the color of the light.

Yes, it does need to be hooked up before the lights work but they won't work for long. You're lucky if you can get them to work for a few months. Nice faucet if you only want it to be a waterfall faucet but don't expect the lights to continue to work.

Well the lights dont make them move, The motor pushes the water that makes them move. Our motor is located on the right side at the top. Check that! Maybe your lights are working but the motor which makes them move isnt?... Just a thought! Hope this helps!

The faucet would work just like a regular faucet if the batteries were dead as you can turn the water on and off with the handle. LOVE this faucet. Haven't even had to change the batteries yet and it's been a year and a half since installation.

you have to actual attached the water hose, and turn on the water. At at time and day, is how you set this unit. My worked fine for about 4 months, then just stop working. the batteries got wet, and the unit died.

Water can not say in the faucet. Tap the edge to make sure water is out after u turn off the water

That should not happen unless the little water sprinkler icon is visible on the display OR if the batteries need to be replaced.. If that icon is visible it means that your timer is currently on and allowing water to flow. I had an issue with some cheap batteries not working well in the unit. I have to replace them with name brand batteries for it to actually shut the water off. hope that helps

I was wondering myself. I looked on the box and the mirror isn't lighted. The water sprayer is pump action, so my answer would be no it doesn't require batteries. Haven't opened the box though

There is a control box under the sink that, yes, can be bypassed with if the electronics/batteries fail. I have yet to have to replace the batteries on the faucet, and we've had this installed for years. Also, it's a battery pack that you insert a bunch of AAs into, so it isn't hard to replace the batteries when necessary. That said, bypassing the electronics isn't as simple as flipping a switch; it will require reworking a couple of connections under the sink. Maybe a 10-15 minute job for a neophyte like me (pure guesswork given that we haven't had to do it and the initial install took under an hour).

You can have Two faucets on the same water system. If you turn on one, the other would not turn on.

No. If no batteries are installed, none of the LEDs should be flashing at all.

you can buy this without the battery system also there is no seam on mine it can work as a regular faucet you can turn it on and off but sometimes you have to touch it to activate it or it can work with motion also. I bought a dispenser that matched from walmart.

Mine worked fine. Maybe something broke loose and clogged the faucet. If their is a screen check it.

If the light is on and the water flows through it, then it is functioning properly. You should check to see if there is no water in the glass bulb compartment.

install as you would any other faucet. you will need to use(2) water lines with an adaptor on the hot qand cold water line to the faucet. check your battery compartment . i have 2 customers angry because i can't seem to get them replaced.

Yes it can but there is a blue light showing the faucet is on. If the handle is turned to the off position and you touch the metal, the should be on and therefore the battery may die quicker. We dont like our faucet as much now. The touch control seemed cool, but the warer flow is always too strong or too slow for your next task. I would not recommend this item for this reason.

it should turn on when you put the batteries in it,but I had to mess with the front end a bit.it doesn't seem to make good contact where the light comes out,so after using a screwdriver to mess with it i got it to turn on but its very touchy.and when and if you do get it on work fast because the batteries only last a short time

"Light may not activate in ordinary tap water." That is, your tap water may be very "soft", i.e. close to distilled water, which is non-conductive. Lake water should be sufficiently conductive to activate the light. I am going to use this light with HIT offshore vests on lake water.Suggest lithium batteries.
