THE PROFESSIONALS
GETTING TECH-SAVVY with your plumbing Thinking of making your home more tech-savvy? Chances are you're not looking to your plumbing. However, technology is playing an increasingly important role in this area, whether you're looking to increase comfort and value, create a healthier home or lower your environmental impact. Increase comfort and value What better way to utilise technology than to increase the comfort and value of your home. You can stream live music to your shower through wireless technology, or even control lighting and water pressure through a digital interface. There are LEDs that light up the toilet bowl for night use, or even LED light rings in bathroom sinks that glow red or blue to indicate water temperature.

Enabling a healthier home There is now a wide range of plumbing products designed to enable a healthier living space. Clever water filtration systems such as reverse osmosis filtration can filter out contaminants from tap water. 'Touchless technology' can help your family avoid the spread of germs. Close the lid, flush the toilet, and even wash your hands without having to touch germ-infested surfaces. Better yet, the toilet lid will automatically close. That should finally put an end to the ongoing 'seat up or down' debate that rages on in many households!
Energy Efficient, Sustainable & Eco Friendly Homes. LIFESTYLE SPECIALISTS.
There's a reason they call water 'liquid gold', and finding ways to conserve or re-use water is a great use of technology. There are new smart dishwashers that recycle water from the rinse cycle for the next wash. Low-flow shower heads and faucet aerators can reduce your home water consumption as much as 50 percent and also reduce water heating costs. Dual-flush toilets that feature two levers – one for urine and one for solid waste – and home automation technology that can shut off sprinkler systems based on weather reports are both popular options to save water. Tankless water heaters provide hot water only as needed, using about 20 percent less energy than traditional storage methods. And, of course, the classic greywater system – re-using water that goes down the sink or shower drain for other purposes such as flushing the toilet – is another great innovation that can net significant savings.
