Hi Keith,
I'd start by touching base with ARRL's RFI group. Years ago, I heard
that touch lamps were not practical to fix, and these faucets may be
more of the same. I'm guessing super cheap electronics, running wide
open, pretty hi-Z inputs. Could be, for example, a free-running
oscillator that gets detuned by proximity. Several years ago, W4UAT gave
me a touch-switched LCD monitor that not only put out a ton of RF trash,
but turned flips from contest-grade RF. It was no better behaved for me
than for Larry, and I gave it away.

Anyone know how to shield a touch faucet? The model I have is Delta Faucet Leland Touch
Kitchen Faucet. It is powered by 6 AA batteries. The battery pack is connected to the valve
via a pair of wires about 3 feet in length. There is also a single wire about two feet in length
connecting the valve to the faucet.
Thanks for any advice.
