When a pipe bursts in your daycare facility, the parents of the children in your care are left scrambling for alternative childcare while you clean up the costly catastrophic damage.

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.

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.

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.
A burst pipe can cause significant damage, disruption and loss of business. 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.

Burst Pipe Protection With Automatic Shut Off For Commercial Buildings
Water Hero was founded by Dan Sterling as he experienced a catastrophic water leak in his home. While away for the weekend, faulty plumbing in a third-floor bathroom destroyed everything below — down to the basement.
Water Hero is a system that makes use of a home or commercial building owner’s existing Wi-Fi network to collect water usage information in the Cloud.

Our premise is that leak and pipe burst protection should be affordable by everyone, and that it should be easy to install and easy to own. We want to help protect you from all leaks, large and small, and allow you to understand and control your water usage better than ever before. Water Hero provides you with an economical system to let you conserve, protect, and save water—one of our most precious resources.
