Kohler K

By Social Juice Master | Nov 28, 2009

Kohler start all of their model numbers with the letter K. I will explain in this post the secret behind Kohler’s model numbers.

K- starts off every Kohler Plumbing Model Number.

K-T denotes Trim. This means that this is the faucet trim only and a rough valve is needed to complete the faucet.

That is the simple and easy secret behind Kohler’s K model numbers. I will explain their color codes in a future post.

Gift to Buy A Guy

By Social Juice Master | Nov 20, 2009

Guys are impossible to shop for. We love expensive items that are out of reach for most wives, and girlfriends.

Although, my wive did buy me a motorcycle for my birthday, once! However, a large purchase is usually out of the question.

This economy makes it much more out of the question. So before you buy him some un-needed gadgets, consider buying him something he will use every day.

One choice, (biased, I admit) is a shower head. Especially the massaging style. Grohe makes some of the best shower heads available.

They are easy to install and they make a big difference in your showering experience. Grohe’s eco setting is a personal favorite. The massage is gentle enough to keep it going for the entire shower.

One more thing, ladies you get to use this gift every day, as well. Which can’t be said for a new TV, which will be stuck on football for the next 3 months.

I would highly endorse the Grohe Free Hander. This dual shower head rotates up for use as a traditional shower head and down to become body sprays.

The whole family will love the Grohe Free Hander and it does not require a plumber to install it!

Best Faucet 2009

By Social Juice Master | Nov 20, 2009

What is the best faucet? As a former master plumber and a current plumbing site owner, I get this question. 

There are a multitude of faucets that stand out and it is usually hard to pick one faucet as the best. This year, however, Delta’s Pilar Kitchen Faucet with Touch2O Technology stands out. 
The Delta Pilar kitchen faucet is my pick for the #1 faucet of 2009. The Pilar Kitchen Faucet is packed with all of Delta Faucets technology. 
The faucet has Delta’s Touch2O technology, that allows you to activate the faucet with just a touch anywhere on the faucet spout or handle. 
The spray head retracts right back to it’s original position by magnatite and the sprayhead fits tightly. Also, the faucet has Diamond Seal Leak Free Technology, which ensures leak-free performance. 
The faucet is easy to clean and the spray head has a touch clean sprayer so you just touch the rubber knobs on the faucet and the scale and mineral deposits fall off.
The final reason is that the faucet is inexpensive compared to other high end faucets. The faucet lists for $495 and it can be found for much cheaper online.

Delta Touch Clean®

By Social Juice Master | Nov 19, 2009


The details are the difference with faucets and the little things that you may not notice when purchasing a faucet are very important. One of these items is Delta Faucet’s Touch Clean Technology.

Kitchen Faucet spray heads tend to get clogged with lime and mineral deposits. This makes cleaning the faucet very difficult. You usually have to use harsh chemicals to get rid of the deposits.
With Touch Clean you can just touch the rubber nubbins with your finger and the deposits will fall away. Easy to clean and one of those little details that separates a Delta Faucet from the rest of the competition.

Delta H2Okinetic® Shower Technology

By Social Juice Master | Nov 19, 2009


Delta’s proprietary H2Okinetic Technology® creates a warmer, more luxurious shower experience that blankets the body while using less water.

H2Okinetic Technology uses larger droplets that retain their heat longer for a massaging effect and a denser spray pattern for a feeling of drenching coverage; together these effects help the user feel more enveloped in the warmth of the water. The all-around experience is achieved with up to six body sprays in addition to an H2Okinetic showerhead.

H2Okinetic Technology is quieter than conventional showers and uses no moving parts. And the water savings can be substantial; 1.5 gallons of water per minute actually feels like 2.5 gallons per minute; this can result in a 36% decrease in water usage compared to a high-flow system.

What does it mean?

H2Okinetic describes the way water is shaped and delivered to enhance the user’s experience. This technology is the result of a partnership between Bowles Fluidics Corporation and Delta Faucet Company. The name conveys this combination of organic design and science in a way that is easy to understand.
