What are the Benefits of a Water Monitoring System?
Let’s face facts – we all live busy lives. How many of us have time to check under the sink regularly, peek in the sump pump, monitor water softeners, and so on? Usually, we aren’t even aware of an issue, like a leak, until it becomes visible and causes hundreds or even thousands of dollars in damage, not to mention lots of stress!
Traditional home plumbing might still be old school, but thankfully, we live in an era of incredible technological advances that can help optimize water usage. So how do they work?
Real-time Water Monitoring Systems use Wi-Fi-enabled technology to monitor and alert you about potential (or immediate) problems in the home, including:
- Monitoring fixtures and faucets for leaks and sending alerts in case of leaks
- Checking and controlling your water treatment devices
- Shutting off the water flow in case of emergency
- Monitoring water usage and alerting you to excessive water flow
- Sending reminders about scheduled maintenance, like filter changes or adding a water softener
- Sending alerts about system errors and lost connections
Thanks to wireless technology, you can receive notifications on the app, by text, or by email to always know what’s happening in your home. Some systems even allow you to connect to a secure website where you can adjust the controls of the Water Monitoring System, no matter where you are. You can also connect with a system support staff to get help.
There are three main benefits of installing a water monitoring system:
1. Avoid costly leaks and water damage. With this information at your fingertips, you can correct potential problems before they become major issues and get more peace of mind, especially when travelling or away from home.
2. Reduce your monthly water bill. Hidden leaks and excessive water flow can cost you a lot of money over time. By having a proper water monitoring system, you can see and correct water wastage problems and ultimately pay less per month.
3. Reduce water usage. We know the need to conserve our precious natural resources. Water monitoring systems can help reduce water wastage and leaks, making water usage more long-term eco-friendly.
In addition, if you’ve ever had water damage, your insurance provider may insist that you install a water monitoring system to avoid future catastrophes, like a flooded basement or major leaks that can affect the structural integrity of your ceilings and floors.
