Smart Water Shutoff Installation in Escondido

Say you're at work or out of town, and the hose behind your washing machine splits. Instead of coming back to a wet floor, you get a notification on your cell phone that water is running where it shouldn't be. The device can turn the water off by itself, or you can shut it off with one tap in the app. The app lets you check on your water from anywhere, so you have a better chance of stopping a small leak early.

Which unit fits your home depends on the size of your water line, your water pressure, where the line comes into the house, and whether there's a good spot with power and WiFi.

Escondido has older homes around Old Escondido and larger properties out toward Hidden Meadows. On a bigger lot, the water line from the street can run a long way before it reaches the house, and most of it is out of sight. A smart shutoff goes where the water comes in and can let you know when water is running that shouldn't be.

A smart shutoff does the most good in a Escondido home that sits empty part of the time. That might be a house everyone leaves for work all day, a place that gets rented out between stays, or a vacation home closed up for months, and it includes any home with a water heater or washing machine hoses that are getting on in years. In any of those, a small leak can run for days before anyone sees it. A shutoff that alerts your cell phone and can turn off your water on its own catches it early, from wherever you are.
