Personal choice

A great bathroom starts in the planning stages as you choose from dozens of products to suit your taste and lifestyle. Adding technology to the mix optimizes functionality and gives your space a contemporary aesthetic.

Moen's ioDigital system allows you to introduce cutting-edge technology into your project whether you're designing a new bathroom or remodeling, says Mark Knurek, senior product manager. The system offers the ability to precisely regulate water temperature and flow for a bath or shower electronically. The ioDigital system is available for three applications: vertical spa, shower and Roman tub.

Once a favorite combination is found, it can be saved as an ioDigital pre-set, ensuring a comfortable shower or bath at the push of a button. LED indicators on the wall-mounted controller display personal settings, eliminating the need to guess if the water is warm enough or constantly adjust the handles, Knurek says.

"Our goal was to make ioDigital easy to use and, just as importantly, easy to install for every project," he says. "Customers and professional plumbers tell us we've succeeded."

The basis of the ioDigital technology is an electronic valve which manages the hot and cold water supply. This valve can be located up to 30ft away from the bath or shower for easy installation. The system adapts to traditional plumbing supply tubes, so it can be smoothly incorporated into any bathroom upgrade.

"The remote control option lets you turn on the bath or shower while up to 30ft away. This means you can start the shower from bed or fill the children's bath to the correct height as you clean up from dinner," Knurek says.
