leaks, it’s about proactively preventing the extensive damage and costly repairs that can result from flooding. Its advanced technology can detect even the slightest anomalies in water flow, offering a vital line of defence against severe water damage and costly bills.” The system’s intelligent control learns normal water usage patterns to identify leaks or burst pipes early. Upon detecting a potential major leak, ActivStopLeak promptly shuts off the water supply. This mitigates the risk of flooding and associated damage, including electrical

hazards, compromised structural integrity and the potential for mould and mildew growth. ActivStopLeak further empowers users with a comprehensive app for real-time monitoring and control from a smartphone. Users receive alerts for detected leaks and can remotely shut off or restore the water supply. The app also allows for temporary resets in case of minor leaks, keeping the system functional while awaiting repairs. www.activ-tec.com/activstopleak/
