Overview
Drip is an app connected, faucet attachment system that helps households manage water usage by providing insights into where and when water is being used within the house. By making water consumption more transparent for all members of the household, it encourages a culture of conservation within.
How it works
By using magnetic sensors to calculate the flow rate of the water and the time it is in the pipes, we are able to offer a plumbing free, quick to install attachment that provides real time water usage data.
Sensor
Every attachment contains a magnetic sensor that tracks how much water is passing through the pipes.
Wifi
Using a wifi connected chip, Drip is able to send water usage updates in real time right to your smart device.
How to install
Detection
Based off of the speed and pressure of the water flow, Drip is able to detect any leaks which you will then be notified of.
Because of this technology, installation has never been easier. Start by adjusting the size of your Drip by adding or subtracting the links until it fits snug around your pipe or faucet. To do this, simply snap on and snap off backs of the links around the elastic band. Then, just wrap it around the pipe or faucet and attach it using the magnetic closure links. Since we are using a magnetic sensor, the material of the pipe does not matter, just make sure the link with the Drip logo and LED light is flush with the surface of the pipe or faucet. After that, all thats left to do is sync it with your phone.
