Stay Hydrated and Protected: Smart Water Management for Summer
Summer is here! Here are some key tips for managing your home’s water systems during the warmer months:
🛡️ Smart Leak Detection Benefits
Flow based water main leak detection devices can lower your insurance premiums while preventing costly water damage. These systems can be incorporated into your whole house treatment valve.
🧳 Vacation Mode Protection
Activate your leak detector’s vacation mode when traveling. This feature monitors your system closely and can automatically shut off your main water supply if it detects even small leaks.
💰 Reverse Osmosis Efficiency
Your RO system operates more efficiently as water temperatures rise, significantly reducing water waste throughout the summer.
💧 Pure Water for Peak Performance
Summer activities increase your hydration needs and electrolyte consumption. Your reverse osmosis system provides the clean, pure water foundation for optimal hydration during hot weather activities.
🌱 Smart Irrigation Timing
Water lawns and gardens during early morning or evening hours to minimize evaporation losses during peak summer heat.
🏊 Pool Evaporation
A typical pool can lose up to 150 gallons daily through evaporation. Installing windbreaks like fences or hedges can dramatically reduce this loss.
📊 Water Pressure Monitoring
Summer heat can cause pipe expansion and increased pressure fluctuations. Monitor your systems for unusual pressure changes that could indicate potential issues.
🔧 Manual Water Shutoff
If you don’t have a leak detection system, turn off your main water valve before leaving for vacation. Remember to also turn off ice machines to prevent damage.
🔄 Post-Vacation Maintenance
After extended trips of two weeks or more, flush all reverse osmosis tanks to ensure fresh, clean water.
