Using technology to get your evenings back

Benjamin Dyer of Powered Now examines the way that plumbers can get their evenings back with the help of technology, even if technology turns them off!

 

The mobile revolution

Looking back, it took a surprisingly long time for mobile phones to get to saturation. In fact, it took twenty years. During that long period, lots of people rubbished the phones and said they would never catch on. Every new technology that eventually becomes ubiquitous still goes through a period of disbelief.

In contrast to mobiles, smartphone penetration has been much quicker and the comparison should teach us some lessons.

Aladdin EasyFit Isolator - the quick-fit plumbing isolation-valve for pressurised-pipe

Professionals cut pressurised pipe only as a last resort. Until today, if a plumber needed to isolate part of a 15mm water-pipe system for maintenance or repair there were only 2 options: draining down, or freezing.

Both methods take 30 to 50 minutes and damage the environment through dumping (particularly hot) water, or releasing hydrofluorocarbons (gas-freezing).

Flushing our troubles away

Flushing our troubles away

Xylem is calling on plumbers to help educate consumers about what not to flush down the toilet amidst growing concern around the effects on our sewerage networks.  David Spragg at Xylem explains.

 

For one reason or another, we have become a disposable society and unfortunately that means that many people throw items, usually destined for the dustbin, down the toilet or waste pipes. The ensuing mess is costing industry thousands of pounds every year and presenting a real risk of sewage entering people’s homes.
