With Pilar's Touch 2 0 Technology, it doesn't matter if your hands are full of dishes or if you're up to your elbows in cake batter--just use your wrist or forearm to tap anywhere on the faucet's spout or handle to stop and start the flow of water.
This smart technology can help prevent the spread of bacteria in your kitchen. If you've been working with raw foods and your hands are a mess, you can just tap the faucet with your forearm, wash your hands, and keep your surfaces--including your faucet!--as clean and safe as possible.
The faucet will also help you conserve water and save money. As you prepare food or wash up in the sink, just tap the faucet to keep water from running when you don't need it; touch it again to start the water flowing. Eco-friendly, the Pilar features a flow rate of 2.2 gallons per minute at 60 psi, 8.3 liters per minute at 414 kPa.
Intelligent Design Fuses Technology and Nature
Inspired by natural beauty and aided by innovative technology, the Pilar will complement any kitchen. Its patented Brilliance Stainless finish is guaranteed not to corrode, tarnish, or discolor for as long as you own your home.
Adding to the Pilar's good looks is a single, sleek, easy-to-use handle. Simple right-to-left movement of the handle adjusts water temperature, while up-and-down movement adjusts flow rate. This streamlined design enhances usability while complementing the faucet's overall appearance.
The Pilar's pull-down wand has a swivel range of 360 degrees as well as a toggle push button that allows you to choose between aerated spray and stream modes. An added bonus, the wand head is equipped with Touch-Clean: soft, rubber nubbins that allow you to wipe away calcium and lime buildup with the touch of a finger. Additionally, the wand's 54-inch hose ensures that every corner of your sink will stay clean. For ease of use, the hose is fed by gravity, extending and retracting without friction points.
Delta's MagnaTite docking keeps the Pilar's wand in place with a powerful magnet, so the wand stays right where it should, and your sink stays neat and tidy. As you raise the wand to dock it, the magnet embedded in the spout will pull the wand precisely into place; the wand comes free with a gentle tug.
Diamond Seal Technology for Durability and Safety
The Pilar features Delta's Diamond Seal Technology, which uses an electronic valve with a diamond coating for durability. Designed with this smart technology, the Pilar is built to last up to five million uses.
Plus, Diamond Seal Technology keeps water that's inside the faucet out of contact with potential metal contaminants, keeping you and your family as safe as can be. Also, the handle limit stop makes it easy for you to limit the range of the handle motion for hot water and protect your family from accidental scalding.
Diamond Seal Technology features one-piece InnoFlex waterways with PEX-C tubing, making the Pilar simple to install. This faucet has two-hole, 4-to-16-inch installation; 32-inch minimum supply lines below the deck are included.
The Pilar Single Handle Pull-Down Faucet is ADA compliant and comes with the Delta Electronic Faucet Limited Warranty. Four alkaline 'C' batteries (not included) are required for operation.

I honestly can't speak on installation issues. I can say the plumber enjoyed installing and playing with this faucet. He loved it. It seemed to go smoothly for him and he had a kick toying with it.
On functionality I would give this faucet a five. It is large and so larger pots clear no problem. The spray nozzle can be extended and moved from one side to the other. The spray hose appears to be strong and is flexible. The touch function works like a dream. There is a sliding button on nozzle to adjust spray to a steady stream or for spray. The control for water temperature is on the side stalk and I love how it pivots.
I have noticed some reviews mention the solonoid going bad. I just bought this so can't speak to that issue. I bought anyway because it looks like Delta support is good. I will amend this review if there is any issue in the future.
The only other thing I would mention for someone considering this faucet is the single stalk mount itself does not pivot-it stays fixed. So our sink is divided and the plumber mounted with a tilt toward one side of the sink where we do most of our dishwashing. This tilt makes it look a little off center. However this is a mounting choice and not a necessity; you could mount on center and then pull out the spray nozzle toward which ever side you need to use it. It must be that more sinks are made now without a division in the middle and our sink is old school.
To sum up this faucet is awesome. I hesitated due to price but when you see it you can appreciate the fit and finish. No regrets! Love it!
ORIGINAL REVIEW: We are remodeling our kitchen and were excited to install this "cool," high-tech faucet but it doesn't work right. The touch function works on the handle but not on the faucet. If you leave it in touch mode, the faucet turns on by itself unpredictably. The pull-out handle does not retract -- the electronics for the faucet are the "weights" that are supposed to pull it back into place, but it doesn't pull it back. This was not a DIY install -- I hired a contractor to install it. He says that it is connected properly and grounded and there are no adjustments to make, so we're stuck with this.
I could turn off the electronics and use it as a standard faucet, but I still have the problem with the sprayer not retracting. Not good.
Unfortunately this was the first item we ordered for our remodel so it's past the 30-day return time, AND the contractor threw away the box so we are out $300. Very disappointed.
