MarketWatch Video: New Home Technology, Including Diamond-Powered Faucets!

February 19, 2008 at 1:55 am PT

Eek, diamonds are now apparently being used in a new water-delivery system that debuted at the International Builder’s Show in Orlando, Fla., this week.

For those who do not know it, BoomTown is a closet–get it??–home renovation freak and once had a column in The Wall Street Journal called “Home Economics.” (Here is a link to my 2004 review of high-tech toilets, for example, with the unfortunate lede: “Is happiness a warm toilet seat?”)

Nonetheless, we press on, and “Home Economics” might even return here in a new video format, so get ready.

Until then, check out this sparkling MarketWatch video:

I can’t help but think that resources could have been better spent than on high tech toilets

I know that some would say that using diamonds to power faucets is an extravagance, but is it really more so than sitting on a ring on a woman’s finger?
