What Are Smart Showers?
If you are like many L.A. homeowners, you are starting to have more smart technology in your home. Whether it’s your television you turn on with voice commands, your refrigerator that reminds you you’re out of milk, or smart faucets in your kitchen and bathroom that you can turn on and off without ever touching them, it’s clear smart technology is here to stay. However, if you don’t have a smart shower, you’re missing out on something great.
If you’re wondering what a smart shower is and why you would benefit from having one in your home, we here at Boss Plumbing have everything you need to know.
What Does a Smart Shower Do?
When we have inquiries from customers about smart showers, they find themselves amazed at what these high-tech plumbing devices can do. To begin with, once you have a smart shower installed in your home, you’ll never again have to worry about taking an unexpectedly cold shower or one that nearly burns you to a crisp: smart shower systems let you set the exact water temperature you desire and use apps to send messages to your smartphone, letting you know when your shower is ready.
Very Safe for Families
Since smart showers can monitor water temperature so precisely, this makes them a very attractive option for families here in the Los Angeles area. Whether you have small children or perhaps elderly parents living with you, installing a smart shower system in your home is a great way to ensure everyone stays safe when it’s time for their shower.
What is the Best Smart Shower?
As more manufacturers have gotten into the smart shower business, it may be hard for you to determine which one would be best for your home. Here at Boss Plumbing, we have installed smart shower systems from numerous manufacturers. In our opinion, Moen seems to be leading the way in this technology. These systems are not only very easy to install, but can also be controlled by your phone, voice commands, or with an on-wall control.
Great Way to Conserve Water
In years past, showers have long been blamed for wasting large amounts of water, and rightly so in many instances. However, smart showers are changing this for the better. Once you have such a system in your home, you will be able to pause or stop your shower via an app on your smartphone. Thus, if you get an unexpected interruption such as a phone call or the kids needing your assistance, you won’t have to worry about wasting a large amount of water along the way.
Are Smart Showers Easy To Install?
As we stated earlier, today’s smart shower systems are actually very easy to install for a variety of reasons. First, they have fewer parts than traditional showers. For example, the very popular U by Moen has only one digital valve, making it much easier to adjust the flow for any type of shower head you may prefer. Also, unlike traditional shower valves, a smart shower’s digital valve does not require that it be placed directly behind the shower wall. Instead, you can have far more flexibility when renovating your bathroom or building a new bathroom.
When you are having issues with your shower, it’s always best to leave it to the pros here at Boss Plumbing. Rather than continue to get by with that old shower that always seems to be giving you problems, talk to us today at Boss Plumbing about smart showers. Once you do, it won’t take you long to schedule a service call for a new shower installation.
