Element is an automated faucet and hand dryer. Its purpose is to mitigate the environmental impact generated by public bathrooms while offering the most convenient and cleanest way to dry your hands... over the sink. Unlike conventional faucets, Element has a channel for water and another for air. It is equipped with additional sensors conveniently located on its sides that activate a hand dryer, which propels air through the faucet, onto the user's hands. Another advantage to Element is that multiple faucets can be powered simultaneously by a single motor, reducing costs and increasing use
