The plumbing industry is in the midst of an exciting technical revolution led by smart devices. One of the more surprising places for this change is within pipes themselves. Collectively called “smart pipes,” these systems combine sensors and digital monitoring to provide real-time data on the condition and performance of a home’s water network.
The “smart” of these systems refers to their use of distributed pressure, temperature, and flow sensors placed throughout the system. These sensors, in turn, send data to a central interface that continuously analyzes the system’s performance for issues like leaks, valve wear, or freeze risks before serious damage occurs. Some include automatic shutoff valves that will limit water damage should a problem arise.

These systems make it possible to locate and address the source quickly, and as a bonus, they help support efficient design and better water management.
