Although it costs more than I thought, it can solve the battery drain problem and keep the faucet running during a home power outage or battery failure. Problem: A mysterious unwanted flow of water. possibly due to temporary household power interruptions. This device can also cause mysterious unwanted water flow - IF you either 1.) decide NOT to install a "power distributor", 2.) allow weak batteries in the battery pack, or 3.) make a bad connection between the battery pack and the "powerโ€ฆ

This will damage the speakerphone faucet

We used two faucets and two sets of AC adapters and every time the AC adapter was installed the MotionSense mixer randomly turned on. In both cases, the MotionSense faucets worked perfectly with just the battery that came with the faucet. The first faucet ran for two months on battery power without any problems. Then I installed the power supply and after a day the faucet turned on intermittently with no movement. We returned the faucet thinking it was the problem. With the second faucet, weโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Easy install
Cons
  • Nothing here

The red light was on all the time after installation. I thought the university was defective. I called Moen and within 2 weeks the company sent me a new unit. But the same problem exists with the new device. It took me a while to try again. I switched the battery from lithium to alkaline and everything worked right away. In the process, I also figured out how to properly set the detection distance to activate the water flow.1. Disconnect all power connections, and then reconnect power to theโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Free for educational purposes
Cons
  • Some small things

GREAT IDEA IN CASE OF A BREAKDOWN

If you have a Moen faucet that is controlled by touch or hand movements via a sensor, you need this adapter. The problem with these electronic faucets is that you lose power and your sensor stops working. This adapter contains 4 AA batteries. So if you lose power, the batteries will work to control the faucet. It has a green LED that shows your system has power and the batteries are good. What confuses me is why Moen doesn't include this when buying a fairly expensive faucet? So some peopleโ€ฆ

A must have for your Moen touchless faucet

This is truly a must have for anyone who owns a Moen touchless faucet. This kit is a power supply with an interface that allows you to use your existing battery as a backup battery in the event of a power outage. What are you getting? - AC adapter that allows you to power your faucet from a household outlet. - Control module that uses the included AC adapter and battery that came with your faucet as input and powers your faucet as output. The problem is that you really need an always-onโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Sleek design
Cons
  • So so

Poor quality/defective

We purchased and installed a touchless kitchen faucet from Moen Essie on 20th January 2020. We also purchased and installed the optional Moen 169031 PSU service kit. The proximity faucet worked great! However, our crane motion sensor has not been working for a week. I reset the faucet three times. It worked every time, but only for ten or twenty minutes. I noticed that the Power Splitter doesn't show AC power or battery usage. The only working light was a blinking green light in the left corner

Pros
  • Good product for the price
Cons
  • weak
