Reasons to Buy a Smart Faucet

According to some real estate agents, high-end Smart plumbing is exceedingly popular right now. Many say that an old countertop with Smart faucets will be praised more than a high-end granite countertop with older faucets. The ease of use for the consumer who isn't selling their home and the in-control feeling make Smart plumbing a joy.

Features

A primary example of this is the Touch 2O faucet, a Delta product that features a touch-on and -off feature. It can be activated with an arm or elbow when hands aren't free. The control for the temperature can be preset, as well. The Touch 2O will shut itself off after four minutes of no activity, which means the customer won't have to worry about having a plumbing catastrophe if the drain stopper slides into place. A Touch 2O for the bathroom sink also exists and will turn itself off after one minute, for the customer with children that leave the sink on. This kind of faucet can be battery operated, or the customer can buy a plug adapter. There is also an additional voice-activation function, empowering the consumer to ask their tap for a cup of water.

There are now digital faucets for residential use that display the water's temperature, so you never have to chill or scald yourself. The display will show when the temperature is right. Some even have an indicator light that alters from blue (cold) to red (hot) as the water temperature changes. Or, you can acquire a combo, which senses and adjusts the temperature of the water.

Who buys a Smart faucet?

Customers that want to conserve water

For people that don't want to adjust the taps, there is a faucet with a sensor that will not turn on until the water at the faucet is at the preferred temperature or one that will automatically gear toward a set temperature and flow. Even though this means having a bit of patience, it also means less wasted water and less messing with the water temperature, which is particularly handy for people who own a home running on a septic system.

Customers who want to avoid germs

Someone that wants to avoid spreading germs will also discover the sensor option to be handy. If you think about it, when you turn the faucet on with dirty hands, then turn it off with clean hands, your tap will give back the germs that were on your hands in the first place.

Customers with children

Someone that wants their kids to wash their hands but doesn't want to waste water can have a sensor that only functions when there is a hand beneath it or one that turns on when it's touched. It reduces water use since some kitchen faucets (like our customer's) turn off after four minutes, and bathroom faucets turn off after one minute. Children won't leave it running after they brush their teeth. People with babies will also find it convenient because they won't have to put the baby down to turn on the faucet when water is needed. Additionally, people with mobility issues will find it helpful, as turning a knob on and off can be painful or impossible for them.

To control your shower

To have the best in Smart showers, choose U by Moen's new smart shower faucet, which can pre-warm the shower to the preferred temperature. You can use your Smartphone by asking Alexa to turn in on or off, or by the chosen controller.

You can request the shower to be set at a specific temperature, be informed when the shower is ready, have a timed shower, and pause the shower if you don't want to waste water. Also, there are a few other options: the single unit can preset options and automatically turn off if it has been on pause for more than five minutes.

While occasionally overwhelming, technology is elevating the plumbing industry and helping us achieve high comfort and peace of mind.
