Two representatives from Moen stopped by yesterday to show us their new products.
My two favorites were a new digital tub/shower controller and a redesigned cartridge.
The ioDigital system can control a vertical spa (shown), a shower only, or a roman tub, with a separate controller for each application. Features include custom presets, LED indicators for settings such as temperature, and a pause feature to stop the flow of water. The tub version can even remember how high to fill the bath, so a homeowner doesn’t need to keep an eye on the water level.
Designed for single-handle faucets, the 1255 Duralast cartridge ensures smooth operation over the life of the product, the maker says. The cartridge is also smaller, so it will give Moen more design flexibility–especially for introducing tinier, sleeker products in the future.–Victoria Markovitz
