Abstract: The present disclosure provides a system and method for retrofitting existing standard faucets to conserve water as well as decrease the likelihood of spreading viruses and bacteria via contact with the faucet itself. The system includes a foot pedal that the user can activate to control the flow of water. The foot pedal communicates with an electric valve system that opens and closes on demand. The foot pedal and electric valve system can be quickly and easily installed into a standard faucet system, thereby converting the standard faucet system into a hands free faucet system.
