Moen Introduces ioDIGITAL(TM) - The Ultimate Blend of Technology and Indulgence

NORTH OLMSTED, OH--(Marketwire - May 1, 2009) - Moen® is bringing the benefits of technology to the bathroom with ioDIGITAL™. This innovative, easy-to-use system allows consumers the ability to set and maintain water temperature and flow with electronic precision and is available for three applications: vertical spa, shower and Roman tub.

"ioDIGITAL is like having your own personal digital 'butler' that will set your vertical spa with the perfect temperature and flow; turn on your shower from across the room or while still in bed; or even top off your bath with hot water," said Mark Knurek, senior product manager, Moen. "And the best part is that you can do all of this as easily as if you were programming a car radio. It's that simple."

The foundation of ioDIGITAL is its intelligent interface. Providing quick, visual feedback, LED indicators, which represent a precise temperature range, flash until the requested settings are exactly achieved -- no more guessing if your shower or bath is ready. And, up to four different presets can be easily programmed into memory within seconds, allowing every member of the family their own unique setting -- from an invigorating morning shower to a relaxing evening escape, and even a child's bedtime bath.

ioDIGITAL Vertical Spa

For the ultimate blend of technology and indulgence, the ioDIGITAL vertical spa offers command of precise temperature and flow, four custom presets and one-touch activation of multiple water spray outlets. The consumer can choose custom settings with a showerhead, body spray, handshower or rainshower... or choose them all.

Specific features include:

--  LCD screen which displays the current temperature, active spray
    outlets and preset activation
--  Pause feature, which briefly interrupts the shower while the user
    shampoos or shaves, then returns to the previous settings
--  Optional remote control offers the ability to turn the shower on from
    across the room or while still in bed
    

ioDIGITAL Shower

Similar to the vertical spa functionality, the ioDIGITAL shower interface will recall a preferred temperature and flow at the push of a button, and the easy-to-read LED indicators will alert the user when the preferred shower matches the settings.

Specific features include:

--  Four programmable presets
--  Pause feature
--  Optional remote control
    

ioDIGITAL Roman Tub

One of the most unique applications is the Roman tub, which not only fills the tub to the perfect temperature, but also to the desired level.

Specific features include:

--  Three programmable presets
--  Child Lock feature disables all controls and remote operation for
    added safety
--  Optional remote control with a Hot Top Off feature -- to easily warm
    your bath by filling the tub with the hottest water temperature
    

"For decades, homeowners have trusted Moen to deliver the most reliable, durable, high-quality products," added Knurek. "That's the icing on the cake with ioDIGITAL -- homeowners will get the benefits of innovative technology in the bath, backed by a name they can trust... Moen."
