Abstract

A faucet user interface illustratively includes a support extending along a longitudinal axis, and a handle operably coupled to the support. In an illustrative embodiment, the handle is rotatable about the longitudinal axis for controlling a first water parameter (e.g., water temperature), and the handle is axially movable along the longitudinal axis for controlling a second water parameter (e.g., water flow rate). In another illustrative embodiment, a first handle is rotatable about a longitudinal axis of a delivery spout for controlling a first water parameter, and a second handle is rotatable about the longitudinal axis of the delivery spout for controlling a second water parameter.
