We are excited to announce the arrival of new Verso fixtures. Moen has released eight stunning shower heads in four different finishes, and each finish has two options for water usage:
We are pleased to announce the arrival of an exciting new shower series from our friends at Moen. This simple solution can transform your shower experience by merely replacing your shower head. The new Moen Verso shower system offers an 8-function spray, and it is built with 2-in-1 shower and hand shower capability.
Moen Verso Shower Lineup
If you want to retrofit your shower with a Verso, you have eight choices. The options are based on flow rates (2.5 gallons per minute vs. 1.75) and color/finish (polished chrome, brushed nickel, matte black, and brushed gold).
If it’s time to update your kitchen, then one of the first things you probably want to figure out is what kind of kitchen faucet you want as the room’s centerpiece. Delta is one of our most popular solutions for obvious reasons. At PlumbersStock, we are super excited about these new Delta Antoni kitchen faucets. It comes in 3 different finishes:
Last year, we added Redback to our catalog, and these tools have been flying off the shelves. In addition to the popular 40V Swift (brush motors) and Flex (brushless) series, Redback is the innovative manufacturer behind the MowRo robot lawnmower that automatically mows your grass for you. Well, it gets better. PlumbersStock now has the Redback Pro series, a line of 120V cordless power tools for lawn and garden care. These are also brushless motors, and the motor and the interchangeable Lithium-ion battery system offer a stunning amount of power.
Note: you’ll see the batteries have Ah ratings. This rating is called amp hours, and it signifies the power with which it can operate for an hour. So, for example, 3 Ah means that it can operate at 3 amps for an hour.
120V Leaf Blowers
A commercial-grade leaf blower makes clean-up easy. 120V batteries offer enough power to take care of quite a mess, and with multiple batteries (because you’ve bought numerous Redback tools), you can cover a large property. Choose between battery and kit combos. If you don’t need a battery, you can toggle to the tool only option from the product pages below:
We are excited to announce that some of our favorite Moen collections have exciting new additions. Here at PlumbersStock, you can save on new Moen bathroom faucets with MotionSense Wave from the Flara and Doux series.
MotionSense is a proprietary touchless sensor faucet technology that improves user experience regarding hygiene and convenience. It’s just one of many reasons Moen is an innovative industry leader. There are 7 new models to choose from, including 5 different colors:
At PlumbersStock, Moen is one of our favorite brands, and it’s easy to understand why. They make beautiful faucets! One of the most popular bathroom collections released in the past few years is the Cia series, and we’re pleased to announce that we now have the new Moen Cia kitchen faucets. That’s right, Moen has expanded the line to include bar/prep faucets and kitchen sink faucets.
Just like with the bathroom faucets, there are four colors. However, for the bathroom series, it’s chrome, matte black, brushed gold, and brushed nickel. For the kitchen faucets, it’s chrome, matte black, brushed gold, and Spot-Resist stainless. There are a total of 16 choices:
In the plumbing industry, one of the most trusted names among pump manufacturers is Grundfos. In particular, they have a knack for making excellent pressure-boosting pumps. You may remember the MQ3 series, replaced by the SCALA2 series. It’s easy to see why we are excited to announce the arrival of new Grundfos SCALA1 pressure booster pumps. They come with some awesome new features, but they aren’t exactly a replacement for the SCALA2. We’ll get into that more later. Here are the four pumps plus a couple of accessories:
Pressure boosters are designed to ensure that your home gets sufficient water pressure. With the SCALA1, you get most of the features you’d expect. Not that these are necessarily standard, but with Grundfos, you anticipate more, like:
If you don’t know, the Takagi X3 tankless water heaters that were promised in 2019 never became manifest. Until now, and it was worth the wait. PlumbersStock offers all the brand new models with X3 technology, and dozens of other Takagi tankless water heaters, as well. Let’s get to the new X3 models.
Ask any plumber, and they’ll tell you that one of the biggest problems tankless water heaters face is scale build-up. Maintenance can be a significant pain, and it threatens the life of the water heater unit. The innovative engineers at Takagi have a solution. With that in mind, it’s easy to see why we’re so excited about the new Takagi X3 scale prevention technology. As Takagi explains this innovation:
My toddler loves the hands-free MotionSense Wave technology.
My wife and I had been planning to remodel our kitchen for a few years, and a mold issue behind the dishwasher expedited the process. This accident expedited the process. Instead of repairing the damaged cabinets, we had the insurance company cut us a check to spend on a complete remodel. If you can get over living with torn-out cabinets and then a remodel for months, then this is what we call a happy accident. It paved the way for our new Moen farmhouse kitchen remodel. Maybe our experience will inspire you to overhaul your home’s layout, just like we did.

What Did We Do?
Every kitchen is different, and in some cases, you may keep all your appliances or maintain your layout. We did not. The sky is the limit, so get as creative as possible.
Sink and Faucet
We wanted the kitchen sink to be a focal point. We love farmhouse style with the apron front, and white was the only option we considered. We actually bought an Elkay sink, but it arrived with a chip on the corner (FedEx’s fault). The manufacturer didn’t have anything in stock to replace it, so I got a refund through PlumbersStock. They handled all of that for me. Maybe this was a blessing in disguise because I got a wider 33-inch model, the Moen farmhouse sink (FC331910). I initially went with Elkay because they have a strong reputation for making quality sinks. Moen is fairly new to the sink game, but this one was highly rated, and I saved a little money.
There were no misgivings about what faucet we wanted. Although we weren’t sure about the color, we had been eyeing this Moen Align faucet (with MotionSense Wave) for a while. This Moen soap dispenser perfectly complimented the faucet, and the black air switch was a fun touch. The switch, of course, operates the fancy new 3/4 HP InSinkErator disposal. And we needed a black disposer flange to match everything else.
One of the reasons that Moen is among our favorite brands here at PlumbersStock is that they excel in intelligent solutions for plumbing professionals and homeowners. What if we told you that you don’t have to be home in order to turn on your sump pump in an emergency? We are excited to introduce the new Moen smart sump pump monitor. Homeowners can literally buy peace of mind when it comes to water damage from ingress (water from outside entering your home) flooding.
If you live in a flood zone, this device could be a figurative lifesaver. Anybody who has lost photo albums, baseball card collections, or experienced thousands of dollars in damages to flooding will tell you that this affordable invention can save you plenty of heartaches.
