Protect your cottage with confidence using a smart water leak shut-off system
You obviously don’t want water leaks in your main residence, but you want to avoid them just as much in your second home and cottage! Your cottage is supposed to be a source of happiness and rejuvenation, not an additional cause of stress that major water damage can bring.
Whether or not a water leak detection and shut-off system is required by your insurer, it’s in your best interest to be protected. This way, you can gain peace of mind, avoid losing irreplaceable belongings, and eliminate the possibility of a potentially very costly and time-consuming claim to settle with your insurer.
The NOWA water leak detection and shut-off solution
Rest assured when you leave your cottage or second home. NOWA 4S detects and stops leaks instantly, without assistance, in less than a second. You’ll then be notified of the incident by email, a notification on your PRESENCE mobile app, or text message, and the water damage will be limited to a puddle that can be wiped up with a cloth. No matter where you are, you’ll be informed.
Where to Place Water Detectors
Washer, water heater, dishwasher, toilet, sink: place as many wireless detectors as you wish in risk areas. Is your cottage equipped with a sump pump? Avoid unpleasant surprises in your absence by installing a mini water detector there, positioned to alert you of an overflow without cutting off the property’s water supply.
Turning Off the Cottage Water at the End of the Season
Your cottage isn’t a four-season cottage and you need to turn off the water when you leave in the fall for a long period? No problem! Turn off the water from your PRESENCE mobile application or your NOWA 4S smart control panel with a single touch.
Freeze Detection
NOWA water detectors are also equipped with freeze detectors. Drastic and unexpected drops in temperature before the end of the season, which can cause damage to your plumbing, are no longer a problem. You will be notified if the temperature drops below 41° F (5° C), and the water will be shut off without your intervention.
NOWA 4S is particularly relevant for cottages because, by definition, you are away from them more often than from your home. We can even add an electrical switch to control your water pump.
