Kohler’s Nightlight Toilet Seat

Another great product I found while checking out Kohler’s newest Products. The Nightlight toilet seat with two unique LED light displays that illuminate your toilet in a soft glow.  Perfect for anyone who needs to use the bathroom in the middle of the night.

 The guiding light, located in the seat’s hinge, is visible with the lid down. It projects a gentle glow onto the toilet’s tank so users can easily see the toilet area when entering the bathroom. No need to flip a switch and brace yourself for the harsh bathroom that wakes you up and makes getting back to sleep that much harder.

Nightlight runs automatically on a seven-hour cycle so you don’t have to worry about leaving it on during the day or turning it on every night. With just the push of a button, you program the first cycle, and the Nightlight will activate at the same time every night. The slim, low-profile toilet seat runs on four “AA” batteries for up to six months, so you don’t have to deal with messy cords or wires that add clutter in your bathroom.

Not only does it guide you in the middle of the night, the Nightlight comes with the Quiet-Close™ feature that prevents those rude awakenings commonly caused by a slamming seat, and Quick-Attach® hardware and Quick-Release™ functionality let you easily install the seat and remove it for a thorough cleaning.

How to avoid freezing pipe Headaches

With temps plunging into record lows, the potential for frozen pipes can create a headache for homeowners.  Here are just a few things one can try to avoid this from happening.

In basements and crawl spaces, pipes touching an outside wall or located outside need to be properly covered.  There is an insulation that is available at most home improvement or plumbing stores that is the shape of the pipe (usually 1/2″ copper), has a slit down the middle and wraps around the pipe.

Remove any hoses in the backyard from the hook up, shut off the valve and open the valve outside so all the water drips out.  

I know this one will go against your conserve water side, but turn on your taps.  There’s pressure built up in the pipes, and if water’s not moving and that pipe is exposed to cold then it could Freeze, so just turn that faucet on a little bit.  Moving water will not freeze as rapidly as it could just sitting in the pipe.

In the event of a prolonged power outage, turn off the main shut off valve which controls water coming into the house and then open all the faucets and let the water run through. This way you have no water in the pipes for freezing.  

You can also drain your water heater during an outage to avoid damage.  Usually above the water heater there are two valves, one for hot water and one for cold water, shut off the water there.  On the bottom of the water heater, there is a spout and that is where you will drain the water.

Sometimes even after taking measures to avoid a freeze up it happens.  If you have no water and suspect your pipes are frozen, we strongly recommend not tampering with them and call a plumber.  There have been instances of consumers trying to heat pipes on their own, which can, in turn cause more damage.

If a pipe has burst, the first thing to do is automatically go to the shut off valve and turn the water off.  That will stop the water from making any more damage.  Then call in a plumber to fix the pipe.

Aquavar Pump Class

On a beautiful summer day in July the techs at Bee and Jay got a lesson on  the Aquavar Submersible Pump Controller.  What, you ask is an Aquavar Submersible Pump Controller.  Well it is just what it sounds like, a control for your well pump.  But, unlike older controls with a large cold water storage tank and inconsistent pressure when multiple outlets are being used, the  Aquavar Submersible Pump Controller will maintain constant pressure, allowing for use of multiple outlets without pressure loss, while using a smaller cold water storage tank and protecting your investment down your well.

Singing in the Shower was never so easy

Here is what’s new in plumbing product that I came across on the Kohler web site that makes singing in the shower a little easier.

Moxie Showerhead and Wireless Speaker.

The Moxie showerhead and wireless speaker delivers up to 7 hours of music and more by pairing wirelessly with your Bluetooth enabled device.  Just sync your device with the wireless speaker from up to 32 feet away and you’ll be singing in the shower.  The Moxie speaker plays wirelessly in or out of the shower, so you can charge it up and use in the kitchen or even take it to the beach.

VibrAcoustic Bath

VibrAcoustic panels broadcast sound waves that travel through the water and gently resound in the body. Strategically positioned throughout the bath to provide the most beneficial effects to the entire body, these panels are concealed under the shell of the bath for a smooth, uninterrupted bathing surface. Music and chromatherapy are choreographed to work in unison with the VibrAcoustic panels for a holistic approach to profound relaxation.
