Many people have turned to smart appliances to modernize their homes and increase their properties' real estate value. However, smart plumbing should be equally valued. Smart plumbing saves money while helping reduce the impact of wasted resources. For instance, smart faucets have become the norm in many homes that are built in North America.
Smart faucets can be installed by a professional plumber and are touchless appliances. They will help conserve water and also reduce the risk of germ transmission. Given the pandemic that has currently impacted the world, any steps that can be taken to reduce the spread of COVID-19 should be taken.
Smart faucets have state of the art sensors that will automatically detect movement. Simply move or wave your hand to turn the device on and off.
Here we will discuss smart faucets for your smart home and how a plumber can help you achieve your plumbing goals.
Full Control Without Hands
Smart faucets have many benefits when compared to conventional faucets. For example, they will help reduce the spread of germs, soap, and even grease from food and kitchen utensils to other surfaces as they are contactless devices.
Given the Coronavirus pandemic that has currently affected the world, many companies have begun installing smart faucets in their facilities. Smart faucets' goal is to reduce the spread of germs and foodstuffs from person to person and surface to surface while reducing the amount of water used.
Simply call an Etobicoke plumber, and they will install smart faucets in your bathroom and kitchen in record time.
Accurate Dispensing
Smart faucets are intentionally designed with low flow water rates in mind. Saving water is essential for reasons that go beyond reducing spillage. Smart faucets are designed only to activate when a person is washing their hands. As soon as the person removes their hands from underneath the faucet, the device’s sensor will turn off the faucet immediately. As a result, no water is wasted.
Some smart faucets are so advanced that the user can obtain the precise amount of water they need without using measuring cups. If you would like to purchase a more advanced smart faucet, please discuss your smart faucet needs with a licensed and bonded plumber.
Effective and Accurate Monitoring
Smart faucets will carefully monitor the amount of water that you have used. Smart water meters ensure that readings are more accurate while also helping curb water wastage in the process.
In fact, smart water meters will monitor your water consumption rates and send you alerts whenever they detect abnormal water use. For example, you may be dealing with a water leak, in which case the device will notify you asap. You can then call an plumber to fix the leak before it gets worse.
Your utility company will also monitor your water usage remotely, which is quite useful, given the global pandemic and social distancing mandates being issued in most countries. They won’t have to come to your home to read your water meter either, and you will be sent a bill electronically.
Water Filtration Benefits
You can either remove your old faucet in order to install a smart faucet or you can affix your smart faucet to your existing faucet. A smart faucet will also filter water to remove impurities. You can also opt for a battery-operated device or an electronic version.
Many people turn to bottled water to quench their thirst. Water bottles exacerbate the global pollution problem and are a waste of money. Water filters also need to be replaced and can quickly add up in terms of costs.
If you live in an area that suffers from hard water or poor drinking water quality, then a smart faucet may allow you to drink water straight from your kitchen tap. In fact, a smart faucet will measure the number of contaminants in your water. Each smart faucet device will come with a smartphone app that will provide you with an accurate water quality reading. The app will also immediately notify you of local water contamination alerts to always be in the know.
Keep Your Loved Ones Safe
You will never have to worry about your water being too hot or cold with a smart faucet. If you have elderly family members living at home, you won’t have to worry about injuring themselves when they use your sinks. Your children will also be protected from scalding themselves, as smart faucets are much safer than conventional faucets. Your loved ones will also be protected from E.coli and Salmonella poisoning, and smart faucets tend to have a sleek design that is easy to sanitize.
Conclusion
With money being tight due to the pandemic, many people have installed smart faucets to reduce the risk of illness and reduce their utility bills.
Smart faucets are designed to reduce water wastage, which will help you do your part for the environment while also drastically reducing your water bill. These top of the line faucets have sensors that will automatically stop the water flow when the person removes their hands from underneath the device. Water overflow issues can be eliminated, reducing the risk of damage being done to your building or home in the future.
There are also many different types and brands of smart faucets available on the market. Most companies have jumped on board the smart appliance bandwagon to remain competitive.
