Kohler Konnect allows users to personalize their experience with Kohler products through app presets and automate everyday tasks in the kitchen and bath through voice control. Users can operate the kitchen faucet, control features of an intelligent toilet, adjust lighting embedded in the bathroom mirror, run the shower and automatically fill a bath to a desired depth and temperature all by using voice commands.

Ease of Installation

Ease of Installation

Gerber’s Avalanche Elite features a modernized contemporary design with a simple semi-concealed trapway. The trapway makes the toilet easier and quicker to install than many competitive skirted toilets, much like a standard two-piece toilet, Gerber points out. For installation, there is no special hardware or bolt alignment requires, no interference with the water supply/angle stop and the seat can easily be installed before or after the bowl is installed. The flushing system has 50% more line carry than the national standard, ensuring no hidden clogs under the toilet or in the pipes. Comes with a Fluidmaster 400A fill valve for durable long-lasting anti-siphon operation and easy replacement.

Aquor Water Systems’ new House Hydrant is an in-wall outdoor faucet that is completely leak-proof and has freeze protection up to minus-30° F. The unit is inspired by marine technology that uses water pressure to keep water from spilling out of the faucet until there is a seamless connection.
 

Exterior Sealant

DAP’s Dynaflex Ultra advanced exterior sealant provides all-weather protection so sealant won’t crack, color won’t fade, dirt rinses off and mildew won’t grow. The sealant stays flexible to endure expansion and contraction caused by sun, heat, cold, wind and rain. It also offers fast one-hour rain- and paint-ready capabilities.

TOTO USA’s NEOREST NX intelligent toilets NX 1 and 2

Whole-House Water-Filtration System

Enviro Water Products introduces the industry’s first double-certified whole-house water-filtration system. Enivro’s Pro Combo 2.0 system features a water filter that has been certified by IAPMO to NSF/ANSI 42 standards for the reduction of chlorine and the system’s NaturSoft salt-free water conditioner is the only DVGW-certified salt-free water softener in North America, the company points out. DVGW tested the system and found it prevents 99.6% of scale build-up. The system requires no drain, uses no electricity, no chemicals, no salt and wastes no water, Enviro added.
 

Voice-Controlled Tankless Water Heater

Rinnai’s Sensei tankless water heater syncs up directly with Amazon’s Alexa intelligent personal assist. Addtionally, the latest version of Sensei allows for easier and more flexible installation in more locations and features a new combustion design that enables components to work together in harmony for enhanced output. Sensei now has 14 vent configurations, a 65’ vent run with 2” PVC and quick and easy gas conversion. The water heater also is designed to self-compensate in areas with low or fluctuating gas pressures to optimize performance.
