Just four simple words can strike fear into the heart of any property owner: “you have a leak.” Plumbing leaks can happen to anyone at any time, and they can cause massive amounts of property damage when they aren’t taken care of fast.
The NOWA water leak protection system promises to change all of this. With one of these systems installed, you’ll never have to worry about leaks again. To find out if that’s true, let’s look at what these systems are, how they work, and why they’re so effective.
What Is a NOWA System?
The NOWA water leak protection system is a cutting-edge plumbing add-on that can help you stop leaks immediately when they occur. The system consists of three parts: an electric stainless steel water valve, leak detectors (as many as you like), and a centralized control panel. The system also connects to an app that you can use to monitor the state of your pipes and receive automatic alerts whenever a leak is detected. The system must be installed by a professional plumber.
How Does It Work?
NOWA systems harness the power of smart technology to detect and stop leaks remotely without any human oversight.
First, you choose the number of leak detectors you want installed and where they should go. The sensors are small discs that are placed under/beside any fixtures that have the potential to leak (under a toilet, under a sink, beside a water heater). The more you have, the safer you are.
Next, your plumber installs the detectors, the shutoff valve, and the control panel. These elements are linked together by wireless connections. When the detectors sense a change in temperature or humidity, they register a leak and alert the control panel. This panel sends an automatic signal to the shutoff valve to cut the water supply.
Because no new water enters the pipes, the leak stops. You also get an alert sent to your phone to let you know about the leak. Since the problem is already contained, you can take your time checking it out. Once you’ve fixed the problem, you can turn the water back on and resume your normal activities.
Why It’s Effective
Water leaks are a highly time-sensitive problem. When leaks are caught early, they’re nothing more than a mild inconvenience. If you only catch them after they’ve had hours (maybe even days!) to build up water damage, the results could cost you thousands of dollars to repair.
NOWA systems shut leaks down immediately, and even better, they’re automatic and can be controlled remotely. They’re great for people who spend a lot of time away from home on business trips or long vacations. Landlords love them too – no more worrying about water damage you only see when your tenants move out!
