Technology has found its way into almost all building systems, including plumbing systems. For example, plumbing manufacturers have produced smart toilets incorporating different technologies for enhanced efficiency, comfort, and convenience. Below are some smart features available in toilets today. 

Automatic Flushing

Some automatic toilets automatically flush after use. The toilets come with a sensor that detects when you move away from the toilet seat and flushes. That way, the toilet doesn't accidentally flush while still on it. The no-touch flushing means you don't have to touch the toilet handle or button, which reduces the risk of hand contamination.

Automatic Lid Control

You don't have to argue whether the toilet seat should be up or down if you have a smart toilet with automatic lid controls. The automatic control opens and closes the toilet lid without effort from you. Besides keeping the peace in your household, the automatic control is also sanitary.

Overflow Protection

An overflowing toilet is one of the worst bathroom disasters you can ever experience. Causes of toilet overflow include:

  • Clogged drains
  • Blocked vents
  • Improperly adjusted float

Whatever the cause of the overflow, it can ruin your comfort or day. Some smart toilet designers include overflow protection in their products. You cannot flush such toilets if the drain is blocked and the waste can flow, which means they don't overflow.

Temperature Control

If you find sitting on a cold toilet bothersome, get a smart toilet with temperature control. Such toilets allow you to control the seat's temperature. Some even go as far as heating the bidet water. The heating functions mean you don't have to feel cold in the toilet even on the coldest days.

Adjustable Seat

Some toilets also have adjustable seats that you can lower or raise to different heights. Conventional toilet seats suit those with average heights better. Those on the extreme ends, as far as height is concerned, might be uncomfortable on such seats. The adjustable seats allow everyone to use the toilet at the height that suits them best.

Music Streaming

Lastly, some smart toilets also come with music streaming capabilities. For example, some have Bluetooth connections that allow you to stream music from other devices.

The above are just a few examples of available smart toilet features. Technology changes every day and results in new products. Talk to your plumber about the latest smart toilet options and let them guide you in selecting the best one that meets your needs.
