    Henco Smart Monitoring: smart water consumption monitoring, water damage prevention and complete peace of mind

    Water damage is one of the most common and costly problems in homes and buildings. A leaking tap, faulty toilet, leaking dishwasher, hidden leak or other abnormality in water consumption can quickly lead to unnecessary water loss, high repair costs and a lot of worry. With Henco Smart Monitoring, you no longer have to leave this risk to chance. This smart solution monitors your water installation day and night. Thanks to continuous water monitoring, advanced leak detection, automatic shut-off, frost monitoring and real-time notifications, the system helps protect homes and commercial buildings against water damage and water loss.

    What is Henco Smart Monitoring?

    Henco Smart Monitoring consists of three intelligent components that work together to ensure a safe and efficient water installation.

    • HSM-Valve

      • A compact ultrasonic shut-off valve that continuously measures water consumption, pressure and temperature. The system detects deviations in consumption patterns that may indicate a leak or unwanted water loss. If necessary, the water supply can be shut off automatically.

    • HSM-Detector

      • A compact detector for areas where water problems most commonly occur, such as kitchens, bathrooms, laundry rooms and technical rooms.

    • HSM-Sensor

      • A discreet sensor for hard-to-reach locations or situations where limited installation space is available.

    All components communicate via the user-friendly Henconnect app, giving users continuous insight into their water installation. In addition, the HSM-Valve continues to operate autonomously, even if the internet or power supply is temporarily unavailable.

    Smart detection of leaks and frost

    An important advantage of Henco Smart Monitoring is the combination of continuous water monitoring and accurate leak detection. The system can detect deviations caused, for example, by a leaking tap, faulty toilet, leaking washing machine or dishwasher, hidden leaks or other forms of unwanted water loss.

    • Micro leaks are detected from as little as 0.01 litres per hour. The device issues an alarm after a micro leak has persisted for at least 48 to 72 hours and shuts off the water supply after another 24 hours if the leak is still present and has not been confirmed.

    • Medium-sized leaks (>6 l/h) are automatically detected and reported, allowing action to be taken quickly before more extensive damage occurs.

    • Large leaks (>1500 l/h) result in an immediate shut-off of the water supply to prevent serious damage.

    In addition, the HSM-Detector also provides protection against frost damage. Thanks to continuous temperature monitoring, freezing risks are detected at an early stage. This makes Henco Smart Monitoring particularly interesting for second homes, holiday homes, vacant properties and buildings that are not permanently occupied.

    Benefits for the end customer

    • · Smart water consumption management

      • By providing continuous insight into water consumption, Henco Smart Monitoring helps users become more aware of their water use. Unnecessary consumption and long-lasting leaks can be detected more quickly, potentially contributing to savings of up to 30% water and 16% energy.

    • Extra peace of mind

      • Protection against leaks, water loss and frost, even when no one is present.

    • Always in control via the app

      • With the Henconnect app, you can monitor your water consumption, receive leak alerts and shut off the water supply remotely.

    Benefits for the installer

    Henco Smart Monitoring helps installers differentiate themselves with a smart, future-oriented solution.

    • Easy, fast and compact to integrate into new and existing installations.

    • Responds to the growing demand for smart homes.

    • Helps limit damage and water loss through rapid detection and automatic shut-off.

    • Suitable for homes, apartments, hotels, offices and schools.

    Thanks to continuous monitoring, automatic shut-off and real-time notifications, leaks are detected quickly and damage remains limited.

    Why smart leak detection is becoming increasingly important

    Water is becoming an increasingly valuable resource. Yet enormous quantities are still lost every year due to leaks and unnecessary consumption. Many problems remain unnoticed for a long time, allowing small deviations to develop into costly damage.

    That is why it is becoming increasingly important to actively monitor water consumption and detect deviations quickly. With Henco Smart Monitoring, you have a smart solution that helps limit water losses while detecting potential leaks at an early stage.

    According to a Uniwater Report, approximately 26% of European drinking water is lost before it reaches the end user. EU Member States are therefore preparing measures and standards to better monitor and report water losses. With Henco Smart Monitoring, you already have a smart tool today to detect leaks quickly and accurately monitor water consumption.
