Water damage is one of the most common and costly issues homeowners face. For any homeowner, a water leak detection device is a necessity. Unfortunately, we often don’t realize the necessity until our home office has water damage or photographs and heirlooms get destroyed. This blog highlights a specific technology within the Anti Freeze Tech System: the Smart Water Monitor, an advanced leak detection technology.
Detailed Leak Detection Capabilities of the Smart Water Monitor
Advanced Leak Detection
The Smart Water Monitor is a component within the Anti Freeze Tech system that houses sensors that detect and send information. It is designed to provide comprehensive leak detection and water monitoring for your home, ensuring even the smallest leaks are detected early.
Micro-Leak Detection: This feature allows the system to detect even the smallest leaks, such as a single drop per minute. The system performs daily automatic health tests by temporarily isolating the water supply and checking for pressure drops, ensuring your plumbing is always in top condition.
Catastrophic Leak Detection: For significant leaks that could cause extensive water damage, such as burst pipes or broken fixtures, the Smart Water Monitor provides immediate detection. According to the Insurance Information Institute, water damage has accounted for almost 23% of all homeowner insurance claims, with the average claim costing $10,234 for many years. Imagine potential water damage being detected and stopped (more on that below) before you even got out of bed to imagine what to do!
Automatic Shutoff
When a leak is detected, the Smart Water Monitor can automatically shut off the water supply to prevent further damage. The automatic shutoff can be customized or disabled through the app settings, offering flexibility for different scenarios and user preferences. Studies show that automatic shutoff systems can reduce water damage costs by up to 93%, as reported by the Insurance Institute for Business & Home Safety.
Remote Management and Alerts
The app provides real-time alerts and notifications for any detected leaks. These alerts can be customized based on user preferences.
Temperature and Humidity Monitoring
In addition to leak detection, the Smart Water Monitor also monitors temperature and humidity levels, providing alerts for extreme conditions that could cause leaks or water damage. This includes potential issues like frozen pipes or high-humidity environments that may cause mold growth outside the pipes. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) estimates that 10% of homes have leaks that waste 90 gallons or more per day.
Intelligent Monitoring Technology
Learning Water Usage Patterns
The Smart Water Monitor uses algorithms to learn the unique water usage patterns of your home. It adjusts its sensitivity to detect anomalies, reducing the likelihood of incorrect alerts and enhancing the accuracy of leak detection.
Customizable Sensitivity and Alerts
Users can adjust the sensitivity of the leak detection alerts through the app. This customization helps balance the need for early detection with the desire to avoid unnecessary alerts. Manual overrides and sleep modes can be set for scheduled water usage events, ensuring the system does not trigger false alarms during known high-usage periods, such as lawn watering or pool filling.
How this Anti Freeze Tech feature benefits you day to day
As you read this, you may think “this is awesome information, but do I really need this?” Let’s walk through how this specific feature (within the many others within the system) can positively benefit you day to day.
Water Conversation To Lower Your Water Bill
Daily Insights: The AFT app provides detailed daily insights into your water usage, helping you understand how much water is being used and where. This can help you identify potential areas for conservation so you can reduce your water bill. A study by the American Water Works Association found that homes with leak detection systems save an average of 10,000 gallons of water per year.
Winter Vacation Just Got Peaceful
Automatic Shutoff: Not many things are more stressful than having to come home to a flooded home after you were away for winter vacation (it happens more than you think)! With the automatic shut-off feature you can rest assured that you won’t experience any significant water damage or floods.
Remote Control: If you’d prefer to have 100 percent oversight to prevent any issues, you can turn off your water line from your phone.
Fixture-Specific Monitoring
Detailed Usage Reports: Not only does our app provide water usage reports, but it also highlights usage on specific fixtures, providing detailed reports on how much water each appliance or fixture uses. This will allow you to make informed decisions about any needed repairs.
Peace of Mind
Emergency Preparedness: Knowing that your home’s water system is being monitored 24/7 provides peace of mind. Whether you are at home or away, you can rest assured that any leaks will be detected and managed promptly. According to a report by Water Damage Defense, 37% of U.S. homeowners have suffered losses due to water damage.
Insurance Benefits: Some insurance companies offer discounts for homes equipped with leak detection systems like the Smart Water Monitor, as they help reduce the risk of water damage claims.
Integrates with other Smart Home Systems
Smart Home Compatibility: The Smart Water monitor integrates with other smart home systems like Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant, making it easy to utilize voice control to access your water reports or any settings you’d like to change.
What You Can Take Away From This:
The Smart Water Monitor acts as an integral fail-safe to your entire Anti Freeze Tech system. By monitoring any type of pipe leak in your home, and providing water shut off, your home investment stays protected.
