Sealed Garden Spouts

The Locko Outdoor Faucet Prevents Water Theft and Wastage

— October 29, 2012 — Art & Design
The Locko Outdoor Faucet ensures that a household's garden spout isn't being taken advantage of. If hydro bills are slowly starting to creep upwards and there is no real good explanation for it, perhaps someone is siphoning some water from their home. Considering that there are no real safeguards to protect public and private outdoor faucets from strangers, this should come as no surprise. Nevertheless, the Locko Outdoor Faucet hopes to change that.

Designed by Arman Emami of Emami Design, the Locko Outdoor Faucet incorporates a combination lock directly on the tap so that only the people with the code can access it. Not only will this prevent water theft (which is more common than people would believe), it also reduces water wastage. The clever design is incredibly simple and intuitive.
Trend Themes
1. Water Theft Prevention - The Locko Outdoor Faucet addresses the issue of water theft by incorporating a combination lock on the tap.
2. Smart Home Water Conservation - The Locko Outdoor Faucet's design aims to reduce water wastage by allowing only authorized access to the tap.
3. Security Innovations for Outdoor Utilities - The combination lock feature of the Locko Outdoor Faucet opens up opportunities for improved security measures in other outdoor utility sectors.
Industry Implications
1. Home Security - The Locko Outdoor Faucet's combination lock design could inspire similar security innovations in the home security industry.
2. Water Conservation - The Locko Outdoor Faucet's focus on reducing water wastage can have applications in the water conservation industry.
3. Outdoor Utilities - The Locko Outdoor Faucet's security features can be explored in other outdoor utility sectors, such as public parks or infrastructure.
