In the 21 century we started to talk about saving water. With all the changes in the environment the climate is getting hotter, which means we will have less and less water on the earth.
While using a lot of water we are also wasting a tone of money. In many households we cannot detect many problems with our plumbing, so sometimes we just aren’t aware that there is a problem, and we are wasting more water.
- 30% of all water leaks are happening in single-family homes.
- Open taps can waste up to 6 liters of water in an hour.
Phyn was developed over a decade by machine learning researchers at the University of Washington and Belkin International. The technology was created to detect any leaks. This system has many HD ultrasonic sensors that are checking the pressure in you plumbs 240 times every second.
With Phyn you are protecting your newly built home, holiday house, or even your business with any problems in your plumbing system. While it is connected to your place it learns your own schedule of using water and gives you insights on how much of it is being used. While detecting any problems or learning, it can also provide you with some tips on how to use less water. It is now very important to do it, because one day we can have a problem with access to water.
This artificial intelligence product, before your usage, has been learning +40 million showers and many other activities.
Phyn is always on a watch for some leaks to ensure, everything is okay and if not, it will alert you via App or SMS. What I think is amazing about this product is that it can identify small problems that can cause bigger ones. And with that information, that you are provided, you can easily repair them and not pay a lot of money.
You can have everything under control, even on your phone. You can easily download the app from apple or goggle store that connects to the Phyn. With it you can have control this system while you aren’t at home. It gives you opportunity to do the needed actions threw this app. You can also teach it how you use the water, so it won’t ever shut it off when you need it.
Phyn plus not like any other water monitoring processes, uses just a single device, that is in one place, to protect your entire household. It is very innovative, because other products, that are available, need many sensors around your home to detect any problems.

In my opinion for such a product, that can help us save more money and water, it is a great prize. But the downside is that it is only available in The US and Sweden, it means that it is not spread around the world. The company should also think about applying it in flats, because now it is only available for houses. There is a lot of work to do, but I think with the great mindset, we can save our future.
