BATHROOM FIXTURES

Moen Align Spring

pull-down kitchen faucet

with MotionSense Wave

Moen’s Align Spring pull-down kitchen faucet provides a look fit for an
industrial kitchen, but with the reach and flexibility required for
residential use. The fixture is now available with Moen’s new
MotionSense Wave technology, which offers a hands-free experience
and provides water when users need it most with just a wave of the
hand.
Faucets with this touchless technology are ideal when users’ hands
are too full or too messy to turn on the faucet. This innovation also
minimizes the spread of dirt and germs, as there is no need to touch
the fixture to start the flow of water.
The unit’s Wave Sensor turns water on or off with the wave of a
hand, for easy, instant motion-activated control. The sensor also
automatically turns off water after two minutes, which allows for a
reduction of water usage. The handle on the opposite side of the
faucet offers manual operation, letting users adjust flow and
temperature.
The Align Spring pull-down faucet with MotionSense Wave is
available with Moen’s exclusive Spot Resist Stainless finish, which
resists fingerprints and water spots to maintain the fixture’s brilliance.

Niagara Nano toilet

Sometimes plain is perfect. Niagara Conservation describes its products as “not
sexy, but extremely effective,” and that’s what it delivers with the Nano—
reportedly the most water-efficient toilet on the planet. Featuring patented
vacuum-assist flush technology (which leaves behind a clean bowl every time)
and highly innovative Stealth Technology, the Nano only utilizes an average of 0.6
gallons per flush and has a noise-cancelling tank. The toilet’s compact design
maintains the comfort of an elongated bowl, making it perfect for smaller
spaces.
The Nano is WaterSense certified, MaP premium rated, and certified by the
American Society of Mechanical Engineers.
The Nano is the latest in the Niagara Conservation’s portfolio of products that
seeks to save the world’s water through everyday ingenuity. While there’s a push
across the industry for products that support technologies, such as
smartphones or Amazon’s Alexa, Niagara prefers to invest in developing
technologies and products that conserve natural resources.
