Common Questions Answered

How does an air switch improve kitchen safety?

The air-activated design eliminates the need for electrical switches near water sources, significantly reducing the risk of electrical shock in wet kitchen environments. Unlike traditional wall switches that require electrical wiring and can pose hazards when operated with wet hands, the air switch uses pneumatic pressure transmitted through tubing to activate your disposal unit. This makes it particularly beneficial for households with children or pets, as there are no exposed electrical components at the sink level. The simple push button operation also provides more intuitive control than reaching for wall switches, and the countertop or sink-mounted location keeps the activation point within easy reach while you're working at the sink, improving both safety and convenience during food preparation and cleanup tasks.

What installation options does the air switch provide?

The air switch offers flexible installation that adapts to your existing kitchen configuration. It fits standard 1⅜-inch diameter faucet holes, making it easy to install in the extra holes found on many sinks or in unused faucet positions. Alternatively, it can be mounted directly into countertop surfaces or sink decks, giving you placement options that work best for your workflow and aesthetic preferences. The installation process is straightforward and doesn't require electrical expertise since the system operates entirely through pneumatic tubing that connects to your disposal unit. The universal compatibility with most garbage disposal brands means you can upgrade to air switch operation regardless of your current disposal model, and the range of premium finish options ensures the switch coordinates seamlessly with your BLANCO faucet and overall kitchen design.
