Prevent Water damage to buildings from burst
pipes with new Watersave device.
The WaterGuard can monitor and
detect abnormal flows of water resulting from breakage, misuse, vandalism, or
neglect of water pipes and appliances like taps and toilets. It can then
automatically turn off the water supply to prevent flooding, wastage and damage
to property. It can also phone the building manager or maintenance crew to alert
them to the emergency and maintain a log of water-wasting incidents and
excessive consumption.

The
computerised device can be easily controlled and reset at the touch of a button
and configured to monitor water usage as required in different
situations.
Watersave says that by
installing WaterGuard, a building owner can save thousands of dollars in repair
costs and bills for wasted water. |

It says
the monitoring device is particularly useful for blocks of apartments, office
blocks, hotels, hospitals, schools and other buildings with public washrooms and
toilets.
A director of Watersave, Mike
Byrne, says the device is also useful for house owners, many of whom already use
electricity safety switches.
"WaterGuard
will provide information on water consumption, allowing building managers to
make changes and see the results of those changes," he says.
"If there are leaks in the building, WaterGuard will pick that
up too. Once a standard water consumption figure is established for a building,
WaterGuard will let you know when it changes. The event logger will capture
details of any one-off incidents that use a lot of water. So it really is a
complete water management tool."
