Sense Guard
Water controller
Water damage is a major risk for home-owners. 54 % of homes have experienced water damage, 65% of these related to pipe leaks. The average cost of repairing water damage is € 2,297, and in many cases the damage was not covered by home insurance. GROHE SENSE GUARD smart water controller is a clever, round-the-clock water detection system that detects pipe leaks and even dripping taps and in the case of a burst pipe shuts off the water supply. Furthermore, it constantly measures and compares water pressure, temperature, and flow against pre-set thresholds.
