Luxury Housing Trends & Home Improvement Ideas

If you’ve got an older toilet where the flapper doesn’t work as well as it once did, it can get stuck in the “open” position, causing new water to keep coming into the tank. If you’re not around to fix things, a running toilet can waste countless gallons of water every day. Of course, you can buy a new toilet and install it, but as an alternative there’s a device that can keep an eye on your toilet and shut off the water if the flapper doesn’t close properly.

The H2 Orb from Aquaone is a tank monitor that wirelessly shuts off the water at the main control unit attached to the angle stop if the flapper remains open for more than 4 minutes. According to the company’s site, it only takes 7 minutes to install the gadget, so it’s a much easier home improvement project than installing a new toilet or replacing all the old innards.
