[RFI] Delta Touch Controlled Kitchen Faucet RFI Issue

[dalej]

Sometimes the feedlines radiate excessively and cause rf in the shack what antenna are you using?  Unbalanced antennas can be a problem, like long wire end fed etc.  Make sure your coax is in good shape along with the connectors.  Sometimes loose pl259’s cause havoc.  
There are a lot of gadgets out on the market now with electron devices embedded and susceptible to stray rf.  I had a co2 detector that would go off when I transmitted with high power, mfg said there was nothing they could do.  So I purchased one that operates off batter and it works fine.  That told me the house wiring was acting like a antenna.  

Good luck

Hope some one can assist me with this RFI problem.

We have a kitchen faucet made by Delta (Model 9192T).  The faucet will turn on when you touch it and turn off when you touch it again.  It actually worked pretty good.  The control module and solenoid is powered by 6 AA batteries.

Unfortunately, when I use my transmitter the faucet will toggle the water off and on.

I have contacted Delta and they said there isn't a solution, other than disabling the touch feature (problem?).  The installer did not give me much room to work and it will not be easy to disable the touch feature and we like this feature.

Any one have any other suggestions?
