The amount of water that we lose due to problemsassociated with pipes is so great that many companies are developing special devices for the rational use of water resources. In March 2017, the Grohe brand introduced two revolutionary water control devices at once. This is an intelligent sensor for changes in humidity in the room and a whole security system that is connected to the pipe. They are capable of detecting leaks, monitoring the flow of water and alerting homeowners in the event of a problem. One device is placed on the floor (for example, near a washing machine), while the other is installed directly into the central water supply pipe. And if at least somewhere the water pressure drops, and the pipe bursts or the hose suddenly bursts, from which the bathroom can be flooded up to the knee, the sensor instantly fixes this and sends a signal to the mobile phone. The device can turn off the water supply by itself, but you will find out about this even when you are on a business trip abroad, because all information about costs and problems will be displayed in the application.
