Slide-phone Inspired Faucets

The Reece Slide Tap is a different take on the typical slider phone; it is a faucet that uses the innovation of touch-pads to the fullest. You can turn on the tap by simply sliding the top and control the temperature via the touchpad on the handle. You can preset the temperature, thus eliminating wastage.

There are three parts on the top of the tap: two touchpads for controlling water and temperature and one screen that shows the temperature. Slide is a 2013 Bathroom Innovation Award finalist.
