Smart plumbing products provide both efficiency & convenience.
Smart home plumbing products can do many things for you and your home. They can help to detect leaks, even when you’re away. They can reduce waste, meaning you’ll not only help conserve water but also save money on your water bills. They can even help you to conserve energy and keep a cleaner home! Let’s go over some of the smart plumbing products you can have installed and how they can help you enjoy a more energy-efficient and convenient home.
Smart Leak Detection
Since a leak can spring at any time and may not always be noticeable, smart leak detectors use water usage data to detect leaks and anything else out of the ordinary. Water heater alerts are one type of smart leak detector, automatically letting you know if your water heater has sprung a leak. Other smart leak detectors can be easily installed on water pipes themselves with no cutting necessary. Your pipes can also be equipped with automatic shut-offs that can be controlled from your smartphone. However, please note that these are installed within the pipes, and therefore, the job requires a plumber. Even factoring in professional installation, smart leak detection, and automatic shut-offs offer you plenty of savings and priceless peace of mind.
Gray Water Recycling
For hundreds of years, people have been collecting bathing and laundry water, typically called gray water, for reuse. But now, instead of having to place a container in your sink or tub to collect it, you can automate the process with a gray water recycling system. The collected water can then be used again in toilets, washing machines, and irrigation systems.
Energy-Efficient Appliances
In addition to pipe monitors and gray water recycling, your home can be equipped with smart appliances and plumbing fixtures. Smart toilets, sinks, and faucets offer a simple way to reduce water usage without even changing your daily routine. Furthermore, a smart faucet can help to reduce the spread of germs. These faucets are operated via motion sensors and/or voice commands, which keep hands covered in germs or cooking residue from touching the handles. Germs will stay off surfaces and general cleanup will be much easier. Finally, faucets with digital temperature controls can be installed in the bathroom, so you can program the exact temperature you want your water to be, which prevents waste and burns.
