Eco Faucet Timers intended to save water

Eco-Faucet-Timers.jpg We have appreciated and endorsed most water faucets that are designed with the intention of saving water. But I’m not particularly a big fan of the Turn Rotary Dial Faucet designed by Eun Ji Byeon featured here. The reasons are as follows- It is equipped with a timing system that allows you to set the approximated time for completing your task by turning the dial. The downfall of the system is the timing of the faucet. If 30 seconds are set for washing the hands and you spend a 15 on squeezing the hand-wash out of its bottle, you’re practically wasting water here. But this type of a faucet could be pleasing to those who are way too annoyed with the sensor-based faucets fitted in public washrooms. Well, as for me, I’m better off with those.

Hydrofloors movable floors that turns into your personal pool

Hydrofloors-movable-floors.jpg When a drained pool is not in use for a long time, I often feel that the pool area should be used for something more useful than naughty boys jumping off the fence and practicing skateboarding. Finally, my woes are settled with the introduction of the Hydrofloors vertically movable floors that enable the client to exploit the surface area of a swimming pool room for other uses like recreation, social events, dining or dancing. The sophisticated system is almost invisible, flexible and rapidly adaptable. It’s interesting to watch the floor of the pool floor lowered to let the water gracefully flow into it in the video.
