BEFORE A DRIP BECOMES A FLOOD. DETECT TO TAKE CARE WITH GROHE SENSE.

AT GROHE, OUR VISION IS TO ENSURE THAT WATER IS ALWAYS A SOURCE OF PLEASURE.

YET SOMETIMES WATER IS ALSO A SOURCE OF PROBLEMS. A LEAK. A BLOCKED SINK. A BURST PIPE. AND SUDDENLY YOU ARE CONFRONTED WITH A RUINED HOME AND RUINOUS COSTS.

YOU MIGHT THINK IT CANNOT HAPPEN TO YOU. BUT THE FACT IS THAT EVERY 2ND FAMILY HAS EXPERIENCED WATER DAMAGE AT LEAST ONCE.

WHEN WATER GETS OUT OF CONTROL, YOUR HOME IS DEFENCELESS. Anytime, anywhere Leaks can occur anywhere in the home – and at anytime. They can result from pipe damage or faulty appliances, with bathrooms and cellars being the worst affected. A race against time When water damage occurs, half the time the walls are also affected. And in 83 %¹ of those cases, mould penetrates the walls due to excess humidity. Given that mould develops rapidly, building up within just 24 hours, there is an urgent need to respond immediately. Watch out for the pipes 65 %² of water damage is due to burst or leaking...

THE ALARMING FACTS ABOUT WATER DAMAGE: THE NO.1 PROBLEM WITHIN THE HOME 93 % In 93 % of cases, water damage could have been prevented.³ 1.1 million In 2015 in Germany alone, there were 1.1 million cases of reported water damage to private homes.5 54 % 54 % of households have experienced mains-related water damage.1 The ConsumerView, January 2017, Quantitative Assessment Europe The ConsumerView, May 2017, Quantitative Assessment Europe ACE-Group: http://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20110404007195/en/ACE-Private-Risk-Services-Study-Identifies-Type 4. by German insurers:...

THE COST OF WATER DAMAGE CAN RUN INTO THE THOUSANDS ... A flooded home is just the beginning. The moment the damage occurs, time is of the essence. The longer it takes to dry out your home, the greater the danger of mould beginning to grow. But first the insurance company has to be involved and the claim approved. A plumber has to bring in drying machines that are in action for days and it often means opening up a wall. The mess goes on and on. And the bill for it all can bring tears to your eyes.

… BUT IT’S NOTHING COMPARED TO THE COST OF LOST MEMORIES. Far worse is the realisation of what you have lost: treasured photographs, now covered with mould, a trunk with your ruined wedding dress and your children’s first drawings – sodden and disintegrating. A whole lifetime of memories that can never be brought back.

JUST IMAGINE IF YOU HAD AN EARLY WARNING SYSTEM: ONE THAT WOULD ALERT YOU INSTANTLY IF SOMETHING WENT WRONG. OR STEP IN INSTANTLY TO AVERT A FLOOD.

GROHE SENSE AND GROHE SENSE GUARD: ENVISIONED, DEVELOPED AND MADE IN GERMANY

THE DILIGENT WATER SENSOR THAT NEVER SLEEPS.

GROHE SENSE IS THE EVER-PRESENT WATCHDOG PROTECTING EVERY SPACE IN YOUR HOME. Watching out for leaks under the kitchen sink or the washbasin. In the cellar tracking humidity to prevent condensation and monitoring temperature to identify frost risk. Next to the washing machine in the event of the hosepipe leaking. In the bathroom, where humidity can be a problem if you do not ventilate in time. Pages 34 | 3

GROHE SENSE IS CONSTANTLY ON THE LOOKOUT – SO YOU DON’T HAVE TO BE. GROHE Sense detects the presence of water and alerts you instantly – before it leads to something worse.

BEFORE A DRIP BECOMES A FLOOD. Imagine the old washing machine starts to leak and water seeps over the floor. The moment that water comes into contact with the sensor, GROHE Sense emits a beeping sound, a pulsating red light – and sends a push notification to your smartphone. Giving you a chance to react. Fast. So you’re there in time to stop the leak becoming a flood. And can still enjoy the last rays of sunshine.

SO JUST SIT BACK AND RELAX: GROHE SENSE IS ON THE JOB.

ONCE YOU CAN SEE IT, IT’S TOO LATE. Mould and humidity go hand in hand. Humidity and damp provide the ideal conditions for mould to grow – it can start to develop after just 24 hours. Mould not only damages your house and property, but it is also a creeping health hazard that is much harder to remove than to prevent. It can be a particular health risk for the very young and very old as it can cause irritation in the respiratory area.

TOO MUCH IS BAD – TOO LITTLE AS WELL. Since we don‘t have a feeling for the humidity level in our homes, GROHE Sense is the answer. It alerts you to unhealthy levels of humidity – allowing you to act before mould rears its ugly head. But your health can also suffer when humidity levels are too low: irritated sinuses, itchy eyes and dry skin and an increased risk of colds can result. But short-term high or low humidity is not a problem – it only becomes critical after a length of time. That’s why GROHE Sense alerts you if the humidity stays above or below these levels for more than three...
