Your home’s water system called. It wants your respect back. With all of the buzz around connected homes, your water system may still be stuck in the dark ages. Its pipes and valves are tucked behind the walls—out of sight and out of mind—and missing in action on your smartphone. That may not present itself as a huge problem, until a pipe bursts and a catastrophic leak occurs—leading to costly damage in your home.
This is a scenario where it can pay to outfit your home with a smart leak detection system, one that can send alerts to your smartphone when it discovers the first sign of a leak. And, more importantly, a system that can automatically shut off the main water line when a leak is detected to avert costly damage. The Water Hero P-100 fits that bill precisely, and can help give your water system the respect it demands.
