Smart Water Shutoff Installation in Poway

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 your water from anywhere, and a small leak is more likely to get caught before it spreads.

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.

Poway is known for big lots, from horse properties to homes in the hills off Espola Road. On larger properties, water lines can cover a lot of ground, and a leak isn't always somewhere you can see. A smart shutoff checks the water coming into the house and can alert your cell phone when the flow looks like a leak.

A smart shutoff does the most good in a Poway 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.
