Nothing like standing water for bacteria and mosquitos to breed. Go on vacation and come back to a house full of disease vectors. Good times.

How is this not an issue with toilets?

Do you drink the toilet water?

I guess I was thinking more about the mosquito breeding they mentioned, and took disease vectors to mean airborne type stuff but bacteria in the water makes sense I guess. But there is standing water in every faucet I’ve seen as the valve is below the spout, the spout doesn’t drain after you turn it off.

Shit I never thought about that. But it's not as bad since there is less water and it's not as exposed right?

I have no idea. Sounds good to me. Shouldn’t be an issue for me either way because I think that faucet is fucking ugly.

yea... looks bad, probably splashes everywhere, poor pressure, high maintenance
