WaterGuard™ Essential Water Leak Protection
Smart Automatic Water Shut-Off Protection.
WaterGuard™ Essential gives your home one of the most important protections — the ability to automatically shut off water at the main line when a leak occurs.
Instead of relying on discovering damage after water has already spread, Essential focuses on the most important response: stopping water flow at the source.
Because the longer water flows, the greater the damage can become.
A simple safeguard designed to protect your home when it matters most.

Stop Water at the Source
Water damage often becomes serious because water continues flowing long after a leak begins.
A burst hose, a failed appliance connection, or a plumbing issue can allow water to keep running through your home’s plumbing system — sometimes for hours.
WaterGuard™ Essential focuses on the most critical response: shutting off water at the source.
By automatically closing the main water line when a leak occurs, Essential helps limit how much water can continue flowing through the system and potentially causing damage.
It’s a straightforward way to add an important layer of protection to your home.

How It Works
1. Valve Installed on Main Water Line
The smart valve is installed directly on your home's main water supply line, giving it control over water flow to the entire house.
Professional plumbing installation is recommended.
2. Connect the Valve to WiFi
Once installed, the valve connects to your home’s WiFi network and can be managed through the mobile app.
3. Automatic Shut-Off Response
When a leak is detected within the system, the valve automatically closes to stop water flow through the plumbing system.
4. Control Water Anytime
Using the mobile app, you can:
- Turn water on or off remotely
- Shut off water before leaving home or traveling
- Restore water once the issue has been resolved
Manual control is always available directly on the valve.


Why Homeowners Choose Essential
Many homeowners want one critical safeguard:
The ability to stop water quickly when a leak occurs.
WaterGuard™ Essential focuses on delivering that protection in a simple, reliable way.
Because when water stops flowing, damage stops growing.
