Abstract: Provided are automatic faucet systems with remote activation and kits for retrofitting existing faucets to include remote activation. Automatic faucets systems with remote activation can include a faucet comprising a faucet body and a faucet spout; an outlet hose in fluid communication with a cold water supply line, a hot water supply line, and the faucet spout; an electromechanical valve fluidly coupled to the outlet hose and configured to control water flow to the faucet spout; an activator separate from the faucet body and configured to be placed in a variety of positions during installation of the faucet system; and a controller configured to receive a first signal from the activator and, in response to the first signal, to control the electromechanical valve to control water flow to the spout.
