Ultra Modern Appliances are in Your Future

By Dara D’Onofrio

We are being introduced to a whole slew of multitasking devices so efficient they would make the Jetsons envious. Surely, happy homemaker Jane Jetson never had trouble with house chores thanks to her many space-age gadgets. And while we may be far from possessing robot maids and flying cars, there is no shortage of mind blowing, revolutionary home appliances currently available to us. Now is the time to transform your bathroom with color changing temperature faucets like the Hansacanyon, or produce drinking water from thin air with the Watermill Water Maker. Welcome to the future of your home.

Flowing Freely

The Watermill Water Maker from Element Four has tapped an unlimited source of fresh potable water. In an age where plastic bottles pile high in landfills and carcinogens lace the water that we ingest,unlimited clean water would be like a breath of fresh air. Enter the Water Maker. Harnessing humid air through a filter, the device’s cooling element condenses water to droplets, and is then filtered through a specialized carbon component. An ultraviolet sterilizer eliminates any existing bacteria. The Water Maker is not only an answer to our everyday water needs, but also an answer to global water shortages. With this technology, water could flow freely for the most drought stricken regions of the world. For more information, contact Element Four at 250.717.3733.
