The GROHE Sense Guard is installed on the supply pipe and automatically shuts off the water supply if it detects a burst pipe* or unusually high water consumption. Even minor leaks* are detected. The three GROHE Sense sensors, which operate on batteries, are simply placed on the floor near potential leak points, e.g., kitchen or bathroom, and notify you in case of flooding. The combination of these devices provides maximum protection – if GROHE Sense detects water, GROHE Sense Guard immediately cuts off the supply. All devices connect via Wi-Fi to your smartphone, allowing easy management through the intuitive GROHE Sense app. Installation takes just a few seconds and gives you immediate control: you can monitor consumption, adjust settings, or manually shut off the water. Installing the Sense Guard is straightforward for a qualified technician, especially with the wall mounting kit (22501000). Having a GROHE Water Security certified technician install it ensures optimal operation.
- The “pipe burst” is defined as a complete hole or crack in the pipe after the meter, causing uncontrolled flow almost at maximum. The response time depends on the consumption profile, and there may be a delay in automatic shut-off.
- The detection speed depends on the overall water usage in the home. It is recommended to use GROHE Sense at critical points for faster response.
- Leak testing is performed every 24 hours. Results may be affected by the pipe material and design. It typically concerns the cold water network. Using GROHE Sense in combination helps detect increased moisture over time.
