WHAT ARE SOME BENEFITS OF SMART TOILETS?
Just about everything is smart in homes these days. You may have thought that motion-sensor faucets and lights were enough, but now, even toilets can have a “brain.” Upgrading your home’s technology can increase its value and improve your quality of life, but are smart toilets worth the money or are they just another fad?
WHAT DOES A SMART TOILET DO?
Anything “smart” in home tech is responsive and designed to give users a more personal experience. Using a toilet is straightforward, but what if you could make your time in the bathroom even more luxurious?
Smart toilets can improve sanitation and increase safety with features like touchless flushing and nightlights. Many also have the ability to clean themselves and close their own lids before flushing, reducing the number of bacteria that becomes airborne after each use.
IMPROVED COMFORT
There are many practical features to smart toilets that appeal to homeowners. Overflow protection and spray adjustment can decrease the risk of flooding and adjust water pressure.
However, smart toilets also take comfort into consideration. From seat warming to built-in bidets, smart toilets can add a touch of refinement and luxury to your bathroom.
SAVE WATER
Smart toilets are designed to use less water than traditional models. Although most toilets today are regulated to use no more than 1.6 gallons per flush, smart toilets can use as little as 0.6 gallons per flush. Although smart toilets do rely on electricity to function, they can lower your household water consumption and monthly utility bills.
If you’re worried about your smart toilet using too much electricity, you may consider a battery-operated model instead. However, most smart toilets use under $100 worth of electricity per year, so you don’t have to worry about any drastic influxes.
