How to Turn Your Shower Into an Automatic Spa!

Have you gone to a hardware store or browsed online shops lately? They are absolutely full of automatic gizmos and gadgets promising to make your life easier. The problem with a number of these products is not knowing which ones will work well and which are a waste of money.

For example, my wife ordered a ‘smart showerhead,’ and when we went to install it, we found it was incompatible with the bathroom plumbing and wasn’t exactly what we thought it was.

We sent it back and decided to instead trust our local experts for all ‘smart home’ upgrades. That has been the best choice we could have made!

Defining Smart Homes

Take from that what you will, but today’s smart homes simply mean that your lighting, entertainment, HVAC, plumbing, and other electronic features can be controlled from your smartphone.

There are devices that can allow you to turn almost every appliance on or off just by the touch of your screen--it saves money and can give you peace of mind. In the grand scheme of things, a ‘smart bathroom’ can help save water and allow you to have a seamless spa-like experience.

Digital Showers: Perfect For The Diva or The Tired Parent

Digital showers are perfect for solving these problems and can even be set so that over the course of your shower, the temperature changes or the water pressure increases/decreases.

The cost of these units can be high at first but considering the fact that your shower probably sees use at least once per day and maybe by multiple family members, it can be a great investment. Also--if you decide to install a digital shower in a children’s bathroom, it may be easier to control the amount of time spent in the shower which always has caused numerous arguments.
