[RFI] Delta Touch Controlled Kitchen Faucet RFI Issue

[Bob Turner]

Interesting thought.  But water being a conductor would probably work as an antenna.  I vaguely recall a military antenna based upon water spouts of the proper length shooting out of the ocean from top of submarine or something similar towed behind a ship.  That was a proof of concept.  I don’t think those devices are used in production but supposedly it did work as an antenna.

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

Is the faucet connected to a fairly long length of metal pipe?  Maybe the water supply pipe is acting as an antenna.

If so, I’m wondering if separating the flakey faucet from the copper pipe with a short length of plastic pipe, such as PEX, might help.
