Aguardio offers effective IoT solutions for water conservation in bathrooms. Besides alerting to water waste, these sensors help industries reduce their use of resources through data monitoring.
What we do
Detecting running toilets: Aguardio Leak Sensor beeps when it detects a water leak, notifying the user that the toilet needs repairing. It is installed in a few seconds on the water inlet pipe behind the toilet.
Reducing shower time: Aguardio Shower Sensor has been scientifically proven to cause a 25% shower time reduction by creating awareness as to water consumption. It is a water timer that begins counting when the water is turned on.
What we can help you with
Major cities all over the world face the threat of running out of clean water. Our mission is to address the challenge of increasing fresh water scarcity by means of easy-to-use IoT Sensors. According to the study 'At home with water' by Energy Saving Trust UK, the greatest opportunities for saving water and energy can be found in the bathroom. Also, it is estimated that at least 5-8% of all toilets leak water down from the inner rim in the toilet pan and straight out into the sewer.
Our solution
Aguardio IoT Sensors can help users reduce their water consumption and to become aware of water leaks in toilets and from taps. Reducing shower time by just one minute saves 10-15 litres of hot water, not to mention the energy that is saved as well.
Benefits of working with us
The Shower Sensor has an ROI of less than a year for a family of four. The Leak Sensor can detect water leaks invisible to the human eye, yet it can be wasting around 274 liters daily. By detecting just one leak, the ROI is a few months depending on the size of the leak.
Case study - Copenhagen housing project
Within the first week after installing 600 Aguardio Leak Sensors at a housing project in Copenhagen, Denmark, multiple residents contacted their housing association responsible for the Aguardio installation and said the sensor by their toilet was beeping. Upon inspection, these toilets were indeed leaking freshwater down the inner backside of the toilet pan, and the housing association was able to take measures to repair these water leaks.
We are thrilled that this project is a success so early on in the process. One leaking toilet may burden a resident with an extra water bill of anywhere between £600 to £3,200 yearly (Danish freshwater prices); therefore, identifying toilet leaks is so important to avoid this additional cost as well as avoiding unnecessary water waste for housing associations. Based on achieved results the housing association as decided to purchase 12.000 leak sensor.
