Smart technology is cropping up everywhere in home design -- including your bathroom. Home builders and savvy homeowners alike are upgrading to smart toilets not only for their sleek design and function but also for their impact on the environment. If you’re unsure whether it’s time to talk to your plumber about upgrading your commodes, these benefits of smart toilet technology should convince you.

Top 3 Advantages of Smart Toilets

1. Convenience

Smart toilets have a sensor that can tell when a body moves away from the area, and will automatically flush on your behalf. This feature makes using the restroom convenient, especially if your household includes forgetful little ones or family members with mobility issues. 

2. Prevent Overflow

When your toilet clogs, an overflowing bowl can be both messy and unsanitary. However, newer models of smart toilets are designed to stop the flushing cycle to prevent overflow. Clearing the clog will be much easier this way, and you can avoid an emergency call to your plumber. 

3. Reduce Water Consumption

Best of all, smart toilets gauge how much water you need for each flush. Thus, you’ll reduce your overall water consumption, lower your water bills, and minimize your environmental footprint. On average, the latest smart models use about half a gallon of water per flush, compared to older water-efficient toilets that require approximately 1.6 gallons per use.
