Aqualisa’s pricing categories and distribution channels reveal one side of segmentation. Psychographics raise another question: what does a homeowner want the product to say about comfort, convenience or the home they are creating?

The rise of smart-home expectations makes the DIY and premium-homeowner audience worth investigating. Would connected features or integration with existing home systems change what these buyers value?
