Smart Homes – Where are we now?

Currently, less than 1% of homes employ full smart hometechnology.

The market is growing rapidly. This growth is driven, in part,by the rising tablet market.

By 2018 according to HIS Technology, a research firm,predicts that 45 million smart home devices will havebeen installed.

Last Month’s Grey Water Presentation


The StoryGarry Sato had the idea of turning “showers intoflowers” or diverting reusable greywater when –ironically enough -- he was taking a shower.

Since 2010, residential construction in Tucson,Arizona has been mandated by law to installgreywater-ready systems with new homes.On the books to become law in California in 2018.

Yet ironically enough, no legal diverter has

existed until 2015. Before March 2015, when the

first residential greywater diverter was finally

certified.

The Story (Continued)

The International Association of

Plumbing and Mechanical Officials

(IAPMO) awarded its difficult-to-

earn universal plumbing code

(UPC) certification to create the

very first legal way for

homeowners to reuse greywater, for

the remote-controlled GreenSmart

Greywater Diverter

Through the Air with ease

RF Image

Before turning on the water to warm, or draining a bathtub, a push of the GreenSmart

button robotically moves the ball valve to close off the pipe to the sewer and open a one

that goes to the garden.

If one uses a undesirable material while in the shower, another quick push of the button

sends that water to the sewer.


Why is this valve unique?

Used in Real Time

Easy to Use

The Only Diverter that meets

IAPMO Standards

Fail Safe

Conserves Time & Resources
