You've probably heard about touchless toilet technology, which makes for a more hygienic home and prevents the spread of germs. New plumbing technologies also include voice-activated faucets that respond to voice commands and provide specific amounts of water at the push of a button. Many homeowners seek smart products that monitor water usage and send alerts to a smartphone, guarding against unexpected plumbing emergencies. Here are some of the latest innovations in plumbing technology that you can expect to see in homes this year.

High-Pressure Pumps

Pumps are working behind the scenes in many products that we use every day, from washing our clothes to pulsing fuel through our car’s engine. However, the pumps used in commercial applications must be able to take more abuse and withstand repeated use, as well as provide higher PSI and more consistent flow than those in residential settings.

High-pressure construction pumps are designed to handle a variety of water-related tasks, from moving water over long distances to lifting it to great heights. They feature Subaru overhead valve engines for reliability and a range of model sizes to deliver the capacity and PSI needed.

Booster pumps can be installed in a series along a pipe to achieve different pressures. They are also often used in power plants to turn turbines that generate electricity. They feature stainless steel valves, seats and springs to resist corrosion and wear. Their wet cup/seals allow pumped fluid to cool and lubricate the elastomers, for maximum performance and service life. Make sure you call in a professional plumber for leak detection in Melbourne or the area you need.

Combi-Boilers

A combi boiler acts as both a home heating system and hot water heater. It uses a heat exchanger to directly heat the hydronic water, while a separate heat exchanger produces endless hot water for your faucets and showers. This system removes the need for a hot water storage tank, and it’s a good option for smaller homes that lack space.

This system only heats water when it’s being used, so it’s a smart choice for households that are mindful of their energy usage. However, excessive consumption can deplete the warmer quickly, so it’s important to practice mindful resource use.

Combi boilers also tend to be more compact than other heating systems. Many can fit inside a kitchen cabinet, and they’re a great option for smaller homes with limited space. You can usually tell if your boiler is a combi by running a hot water tap nearby and hearing the reassuring “click” of the appliance turning on.

New Faucet Designs

The faucet may be a small piece of hardware, but it has an important role in your home. Not only does it supply water but it can also help improve your kitchen's functionality.

For example, a pull-out faucet can help you reach every corner of your sink or rinse dishes that might otherwise be hard to get to. It can also save you time by reducing the number of times you have to move your hands from one side of the sink to another.

In addition, some faucets are designed to prevent the spread of germs. Touchless models can stop the spread of bacteria by allowing you to control your faucets without touching any part of them.

Other models are available with special finishes like brushed metals, which can hide marks and fingerprints better than polished versions. And some companies offer customization programs, allowing you to choose the handle, finish and even materials that best suit your home.

Smart Plumbing

The benefits of smart plumbing are many. They offer homeowners security, convenience, sustainability, and improved hygiene. Smart water monitors, for example, detect leaks and automatically shut off the supply. This prevents water damage and can save homeowners a lot of money in repair costs.

In addition, smart water sensors are able to communicate with each other and provide real-time information about the flow of water throughout the home. This can help plumbers pinpoint the location of a leak and quickly fix it.

Manually monitoring plumbing and water usage can be time-consuming and draining for homeowners. Smart devices can reduce this manual labor, allowing homeowners to adjust settings and monitor their appliances from their mobile phones. This can also help to cut back on energy bills and improve the overall efficiency of a home’s plumbing system. This technology also provides peace of mind for homeowners, reducing stress and anxiety about potential plumbing disasters. They can rest easy knowing that their home is safe even when they are away for a day, a week or longer.
