Modern technology undoubtedly offers a lot of benefits to property owners, helping them be more comfortable, minimize the hassle of plumbing tasks and increase their overall efficiency. Updates to plumbing fixtures allow homeowners to adjust their water usage based on their needs, decrease the amount of energy they use for water heating and give themselves a luxurious experience every time they walk into a bathroom. These cutting-edge upgrades deserve consideration as part of any plumbing system overhaul.

Smart Faucets

Touch faucets are nothing new, but the latest technology adds much more. These days, smart faucets can anticipate a user’s needs, providing water at the right temperature with a simple voice command. As part of an integrated smart system, property owners can direct the faucet to pour a specific amount of water into a container, without even having to be in the room at the time. Smart faucets can also track water consumption and minimize accidental use. These faucets integrate seamlessly into bathroom vanities, allowing users to maintain high standards for efficiency without compromising beauty or style.

Tankless Water Heaters

Although tankless water heaters have been around for decades, recent advancements have made them more efficient and effective. Older systems relied on dual heat exchangers, while newer models can maintain a higher level of efficiency with just one heat exchanger. Smart recirculation services allow the water heater to estimate the building’s needs based on past use, recirculating hot water only when necessary. With these systems in place, property owners use less water with a tankless water heater without losing access to hot water in an instant.

Smart Showers

Smart shower technology represents the vanguard of home comfort and efficiency. Smart showers allow homeowners to determine ways to use less water and prevent leaks, but they can do so much more. The latest models allow users to set schedules that adjust the temperature, time, and other features of the shower setting for prime hygiene and comfort. Homeowners can use voice direction to start the shower, pause it or get information about the current temperature. Integrating the shower into the home’s smart hub can provide opportunities to listen to music, take phone calls or even watch a show while decompressing.

Greywater Systems

While consumers gain interest in efficiency and sustainability, the ability to reuse water grows in demand. Greywater systems are not a new concept, as many cities incorporate greywater recycling as part of their municipal water treatment systems. Building owners want the option as well, to avoid using as much water or find ways to put the water to more than one use. Greywater recycling systems can take water used for certain purposes, treat it, and collect it for use in other ways, such as supplying toilets or watering landscaping.

Smart Toilets

Few people enjoy having to deal with a toilet even at the best of times, so smart toilet technology sits in high demand. Smart toilets offer a variety of features, including:

  • Customizable bidets
  • Heated seats
  • Automatic or voice-activated flushing
  • Adjustable flushing technology to minimize clogs without unnecessarily increasing water usage
  • Self-cleaning
  • Deodorizing
  • Lid sensors
  • Remote monitoring

Smart toilets can also improve overall hygiene and minimize the spread of communicable diseases. The fewer times people must touch the toilet in order to operate it, the fewer opportunities they have to encounter bacteria and viruses.

Designing the bathroom of the future calls for one or more of these advanced plumbing fixtures and systems. With new products on the market every year, the sky is the limit in the amount of luxury and efficiency people can have for even the quickest bathroom visit. Property owners who take advantage of these upgrades to plumbing technology can lower their energy bills, decrease their water usage and enjoy better comfort than before.
