Fitness Centers
Fitness centers need reliable water systems to keep the laundry, showers, toilets, and drinking fountains running. When leaks or burst pipes occur in a fitness center, valuable monthly membership customers may not be as understanding when they are unable to utilize these services. Even worse is when a burst pipe causes extensive water damage that forces the fitness center to close for an indeterminate amount of time during repairs.
Water Hero monitors for leaks and excessive water usage from leaking showers, sinks, toilets, and drinking fountains that cause unnecessarily high water costs. Burst pipes cause thousands of dollars of damage, made even worse when the expensive fitness equipment is factored into the equation. Fitness center owners and managers can monitor any water issues from their mobile device or laptop, and avoid catastrophic water damage with a commercial automatic water shut off valve.

Golf Courses and Country Clubs
Your clubhouse facility relies on numerous water appliances in the kitchen, restrooms, locker room showers, hose bibbs and drinking fountains. With Water Hero, you can assess your water usage in real-time, which helps determine if a slow leak is present somewhere within your facilities. Since water bills tend to come every few months, a leak may not be detected immediately — leading to a very costly and wasteful problem.

And when your facilities are unoccupied, a burst pipe can run undetected for long stretches of time, compounding the damage. Water Hero has the capability to monitor pipes for bursts and alert you and automatically shut off your water before it becomes a massively expensive problem, and you’re forced to replace your furnishings, merchandise, and equipment.

Nursing Homes
Nursing homes care for the most vulnerable people in our communities. When a burst pipe or water leak is detected, it is devastating for the residents of the nursing home as they may be displaced or face health consequences from standing water issues, like mold growth.

Water Hero is installed directly into a pipe, plugged in, and connected to the nursing home’s Wi-Fi network. Users have the ability to automatically shut off the water when a specific threshold is reached, or they can choose to remotely shut off the water through a web interface using any device or a mobile app for smartphones.

Restaurants
One burst pipe can devastate your restaurant’s food supply, kitchen, and dining room. When your restaurant is forced to close for costly water damage repairs, your servers are out of work, your inventory is destroyed, and rebuilding can take weeks before you can open your doors for diners once again. Additionally, where there’s standing water, there’s mold. Mold development is an additional devastation for restaurants, and will result in swift penalties from the Health Department.
Connect Water Hero to a pipe and install the mobile and web-based apps that will alert you to any problems and shut off the water automatically before significant damage takes place. And our real-time water usage data helps you save money on your water bill. Running toilets or other leaks can be identified in minutes, not months later by a shockingly high quarterly water bill.
