Did you know, water is the number one factor of problems in the home, with over half of the cases relating to pipes and rain damage. In fact, according to a recent survey, homeowners perceived water damage as almost as hazardous to their home as burglary. With these facts in mind, wouldn’t it be great to take control of your water consumption, as well as any leaks or disasters, and prevent a drip becoming a flood?
In response to these alarming facts, the experts behind innovative water products at Grohe saw a need for a smart home water control system to monitor and guard homes from potential water disasters. We asked them to share the key benefits of future-proofing your home with smart technology so you don’t have to face those all-too-common, but preventable, stresses.

Problem: Big Energy Bills
Most busy households know this problem all too well. With endless water being used in showers, baths, laundry and dishwashing cycles each day, the bill can easily mount up.

Solution: Track Your Consumption. Say goodbye to surprise water bills by introducing your home to some smart tech. Grohe’s smart water controller, Sense Guard (pictured left in the home of blogger Cate St. Hill),gives you full control of your daily water consumption. You can track what you use and any unusual water activity, monitor temperature to avoid frost risk, and even shut off your water supply when you leave your home to prevent any issues occurring when you’re out. All these factors boost efficiency, lower energy costs, and help us to live a greener lifestyle.
Problem: Flooding & Burst Pipes
Whether you experience corroded or burst pipes, a blocked sink, or a defective appliance, water leaks can be extremely costly, stressful and sometime hazardous.
Solution: Detect a Leak Immediately. Forget those emergency plumber call outs. Fit a smart water controller and you’ll be immediately alerted to the presence of any water, even a micro leak, as well as track water consumption via the system’s easy-to-use app. We all know prevention is the key, but this smart tech really will save you hours of headaches, not to mention thousands in repairs. What’s more, the system’s AquaBlock automatically shuts off the water supply when a leak is detected, so you have the peace of mind that your property is safe whether you are home or away.
Did you know? A dripping tap that loses one drip per second can waste more than 11,000 litres a year? That’s 180 showers!

Problem: Frost and Mould Damage
Do you have rooms that aren’t often used, such as a basement or a loft space? Or maybe a holiday home that’s empty for large chunks of time? Rooms with a low temperature are likely to experience frost in the pipes, causing cracks, leaks and also a buildup of humidity, that can result in harmful mould.
Solution: Monitor the Temperature. Banish those sleepless nights worrying about the wintery weather, safe in the knowledge that you’ll be alerted to big drops in temperature and therefore frost risks, such as burst pipes, with your smart system. Don’t be left with any surprises the next time you visit your basement after a holiday getaway, and stay in total control.

Great article, this is especially important for landlords as most renters just don't notice the little details and these things can quickly escalate into big problems!
Too true, Just had 2 ceilings fall down while tenants were away due to water damage. This would be very interesting for our next property.
