Track Your Water Usage

Here at the TheKitchenFaucet.com, we have always been strong advocates of water conservation.  The Koolhaus Faucet, designed by Daniel Dobrogorsky, is a new designer bathroom or lavatory faucet which tracks how much water runs through it.  Currently there is not really any way to monitor water usage except for a flow meter on the side of your house.  Making this information readily available to the user would make most people more aware of how much water they are using.  

The Koolhaus Faucet displays its daily usage information on its LCD display and the data can even be routed to a computer to keep a detailed log of how much water they are using. Individual water gauges can also be installed in other faucets in the house and transmitted via Bluetooth back to the main faucet.

Research indicates that 51% of all water used in suburban homes is in the bathroom.  This gives a pretty good indication of how much water is being used and also how it can be saved.  We have a poll on our website asking visitors if they turn off the faucet while brushing there teeth.  Maybe more people would say yes, if they had one of these cool faucets.
