The Water Hero P-100 is a plumbing leak detection and automatic water shutoff system that monitors continuous water flow in a Home mode or Away mode so you can set the length of time water is allowed to flow in each mode separately. This allows you to accommodate greater flow needs based on your typical use while you are home and less for the use of appliances that draw water automatically even while you are away. This system includes the first year annual service fee subscription in the prices shown. Service fee renewals for each following year would be due at $59.88 for 3/4″ and 1″ valves, and at $119.88 for 1.5″ and 2″ valves.
The P-100 features a fully interactive online dashboard that provides minute-by-minute water consumption data, temperature and valve status, which you can view and remotely control on your computer, tablet or smartphone. When a leak is detected users receive a text/email alert followed by automatic water shut-off when there is continuous flow for more than the user’s set amount of time. Water Hero also alerts users when it detects high or low temperatures that could indicate a fire or furnace failure.
The P-100 unit consists of three components and access to the Water Hero software system, and comes in Indoor and Outdoor models. Components include:
Controller Hub with Main Board, Wi-Fi chip and state-of-the-art processor
