WaterGuard water management tool

WaterGuard can monitor and detect abnormal flows of water resulting from breakage, misuse, vandalism, or neglect of water pipes and appliances like taps and toilets.

It can then automatically turn off the water supply to prevent flooding, wastage and damage to property. It can also phone the building manager or maintenance crew via an auto di-aller to alert them to the em-ergency and maintain a log of water-wasting incidents and excessive consumption.

The computerised device can be easily programmed to manage any property and reset at the touch of a button and configured to monitor water usage as required in different situations.

The device is particularly useful for blocks of apartments, office blocks, hotels, hospitals, schools and other buildings with public washrooms and toilets. It may also be useful for house owners, many of whom already use electricity safety switches.

The system can provide information on water consumption, allowing building managers to make changes and see the results of those changes. If there are leaks in the building, WaterGuard will pick that up too. Once a standard water consumption figure is established for a building, the system will notify when it changes and will capture details of any one-off incidents.
