Plumbing Devices You Might Love
Plumbing is an evolving system. As pipes age and fixtures outlive their usefulness, a wise homeowner matches the ongoing inspection and maintenance processes with upgrades. Service calls become a launching point for installing newer, more useful, and more exciting gadgets.
We've compiled a list of gadgets and types of plumbing fixtures to consider for your next plumbing repair, service or maintenance call.
Smart leak detector
Flo by Moen, while not cheap, offers enormous peace of mind for homeowners who spend quite a bit of time away from home, or those who have an older home but aren't quite to the stage where they're ready for a repiping project. Flo offers alerts on the user's cellphone when a leak is detected. Because it is attached directly to the water supply pipe, it can monitor water usage and even be shut off by phone when a leak is detected. During a catastrophic leak, it will shut down automatically.
Upgraded bathroom fixtures
Designers and innovators have unleashed some powerful bathroom appliance upgrades. Smart fixtures such as voice-activated shower controls will make you feel like you've been transported into the future. Want the kids to stop wasting water? You can get a touch faucet that will shut off automatically after one minute. Showers can now be programmed for a specific temperature and amount of time, which, while not cast in stone, will remind family members not to dawdle and save some hot water for others.
Tankless water heater
Speaking of hot water, more families are looking at tankless water heaters to get rid of that giant, energy-wasting tank and provide hot water on demand. The convenience of limitless hot water is coupled with energy savings and low maintenance, making a tankless water heater increasingly attractive to busy homeowners who would rather do almost anything than drain their water heater.
Energy Star appliances
Once a person owns an Energy Star appliance, it's almost painful to remember old, inefficient appliances the newer ones replaced. But, Energy Appliances aren't cheap, making them purchases that should be planned carefully and implemented over time.
Products such as touch bidets and motion-sensor lights fixture upgrades are exciting but don't forget the old standbys such as metal appliance hoses and low-flow showerheads. Each step a homeowner takes toward upgrading their home plumbing system increases the home's value and comfort.
