This faucet belongs in Futurama home. It totally changes the way hot and cold water are mixed and controlled. Get this: you move the ball in or out to control the flow and pressure. Moving the ball left or right controls the temperature. The whole surface lights up to give you a visual clue as to the temperature of the water.
