Our society and technology are constantly evolving. Through this evolution comes innovative products that help make our lives easier or positively impact our environment. Plumbing has come a long way since ancient civilizations used it, but it is still developing every year.
This article will talk about 4 of the most innovative plumbing products that are currently on the market and how they help upgrade your home. We spend a lot of time in the bathroom and our kitchens, so we want those spaces to be functional and efficient. So here are the five of the most innovative plumbing products on the market.
1. Bidets
In 2020 the world was hit with a pandemic none of us could have anticipated or prepared for, and it left grocery stores short on many products, toilet paper being one of them. If you are someone who already had a bidet in your home, you did not feel the toilet paper panic, but for the rest of us, the struggle was real.
Bidets help you save money on toilet paper and also help with water conservation. Flushing toilet paper uses five to seven gallons of water per flush. With a bidet, you clean yourself with a water spigot, meaning no toilet paper is necessary. So consider installing a bidet to cut water and financial costs.
2. Tankless Water Heaters
Water heaters are big, bulky, and costly. Tankless water heaters are smaller, sleeker, and help you save money. Tankless water heaters use 30-50% less energy than traditional water heaters, which can translate to huge savings on your water bill. These tanks also keep 40 to 50 gallons of water hot at any time, which is great during those cold winter months!
3. Touchless Faucet
Cold and flu season makes it hard to touch any surface without cringing, especially door handles and faucets in public restrooms. Touchless faucets help remove the worry of catching a cold or flu. Perfect for the bathroom or the kitchen, touchless faucets make it easy to wash your hands without spreading germs or gross chicken guts all over the place. So consider a touchless faucet for a more hygienic home.
4. Bluetooth Shower Head
This item is more of a luxury item than a practical one, but it is a perfect example of innovative plumbing. For the music lover who enjoys listening to music and singing in the shower, this is an item that will change your shower game forever. The only practical use for this item would be if your significant other calls asking if you need milk or not, and now you will not have to struggle to answer your phone!
Whether for a practical purpose or a most luxurious purpose, these four innovative plumbing items show how far plumbing has come. So next time you are considering making plumbing upgrades to your home, consider these or other plumbing products to make your life easier and cut down on energy and financial costs. Your family, your wallet, and the planet will thank you.
