Water management with Pontos from hansgrohe: the ideal protection from water damage
Whether for washing up or cooking in the kitchen, showering or bathing in the bathroom or doing the laundry: It's hard to imagine a home without a wide variety of water connections. But is it possible to keep an eye on them all at the same time, even without being on site? Hansgrohe makes it much easier to keep control of all water matters. The Pontos water management system takes quality of life to a whole new level. Safety and prevention are at the top of the list with this product. With its versatile applications, Pontos makes it easier to prevent damage from water while enhancing the quality of life for residents. This way, the most beautiful moments with water can be enjoyed completely carefree. Pontos also helps you to conveniently measure and improve the indoor climate and keep an eye on the water. The Pontos system basically consists of two main components, which can be used both independently and in combination.The Pontos Scout water sensor from hansgrohe
Pontos Scout are small round water sensors that can be positioned anywhere in the room. They help to constantly monitor the indoor climate, temperature and humidity. In this way, they facilitate prevention against mould and moisture damage. In addition, they can detect and measure possible water leakage and thus have a preventive effect against water damage and mould. They can also react to leaking water drains and forward the information to the Pontos Base from hansgrohe, which automatically blocks the pipe in case of suspicion. The user is informed of the suspected case via a push message on the smartphone and with an alarm - audible or visual directly on the device. Temperature and humidity also play a major role in food storage. Here, too, the Pontos Scout water sensors can help. If the previously set limit values are exceeded, an alarm is triggered. The sensors can be used both with and without the "hansgrohe home" app and base.
Immediate water stop through the Pontos Base
The second part of the water management system, the Pontos Base, is used to shut off the water supply of the pipe service system. If the Pontos Scout water sensors report a leak to the system, this leads to an automatic shut-off of the water pipe. The permanent monitoring allows Base to detect abnormalities such as unwanted water loss and report them via push message. The moisture sensors can be freely placed where damage is to be prevented, for example due to uncontrolled water leakage, frost, temperatures deviating from the norm or air humidity. This blocking of the water inflow can be unlocked again through the app or on the device. The function of the base is also guaranteed in the event of power failures thanks to integrated batteries and emergency keys. By connecting via WLAN to the hansgrohe Cloud, statistics on water consumption, flow rate, temperature and much more can be created. The self-learning phase additionally helps to create a user profile based on usage habits and adjust it in the settings.
