Water Conservation, Its Challenges and Solutions

To celebrate Earth Day 2011, Professor Toilet, American Standard’s online Flushologist, videotaped an interview with Brian Richter, Director of the Global Freshwater Program at the Nature Conservancy, a leading conservation organization. American Standard divided the interview into five clips and posted them for easy access. In the first two clips, Brian talks about the urgency of water conservation, and the challenges we face as the population increases while ground water levels decrease. In the next three clips, Brian and the Professor discuss national rates of water usage, and suggest how to save water without sacrificing performance or style. And when it comes to replacing toilets, faucets and showerheads, they both agree that the most modern, water-saving products are easy to install. So, no excuses!

Check Points for Hydrotherapy Baths

1. Ergonomics. Simply put, if you’re not comfortable and properly positioned in a bath, those hydrotherapy jets are not going to do you any good. If you’re very tall, make sure the bath is long enough for your complete comfort. If you’re petite, an ergonomic footrest can help you adjust to ideal therapeutic positioning. 2. Control. All hydrotherapy baths will have some sort of control panel – many will offer remotes. Look for controls that are simple, clear and understandable. Pre-programmed jet sequences can also make  the entire experience as carefree as possible. While each Aquatic series is different, all of their hydrotherapy control panels are designed for the optimal user experience and maximum control. 3. Engineering. Beautiful as they may be, a hydrotherapy bath is also a feat of engineering. Look … Read entire article »

Design Inspiration

Design inspiration is all around – if you know where to look. Go beyond your favorite remodeling magazines or websites and draw ideas from things that really speak to you: 1. Review your snapshots from a favorite hotel or spa. What did you love about it? What made it unique and special? Look for the details that made a difference including color, texture and finishes. 2. Think of a destination you’ve always longed to visit. Paris? Bali? Marrakesh? Use the web to seek out imagery from those places. Maybe you can use wrought iron sconces or incorporate tropical woods and golden-orange textiles. You could even lavish the floor with a tile mosaic. 3. Shop your closet or the latest designer clothes collections. What colors do you like to wear? Are you understated elegance … Read entire article »
