E-WATERBLOCK Long Range: preventing toilet flooding with precision

In the United States, the leading causes of excessive water consumption and flooding damage often stem from hidden leaks within walls, broken appliance supply lines, and toilet leaks. Among these, toilet leaks are particularly concerning as they can be difficult to detect—especially in rental properties or hospitality facilities, where tenants or guests rarely report such issues to property owners.

This is why monitoring water flow and addressing micro-leaks is essential for efficient water management and flood prevention.

E-WATERBLOCK has long been a trusted solution for preventing flooding and excessive water consumption. While it’s widely used with drink dispensers and major appliances connected to the water system, it also demonstrates exceptional effectiveness in monitoring and safeguarding toilets.

The E-WATERBLOCK Long Range goes a step further by enabling water consumption monitoring via the Eltek Web Portal. This portal provides daily usage notifications and sends alerts for any anomalies. In the event of anomaly in the water flow, the E-WATERBLOCK Long Range automatically shuts off the water supply to prevent waste and flooding.

Eltek’s case study (read it here) highlight the effectiveness of the E-WATERBLOCK Long Range in detecting malfunctions and optimizing resource use.

In one instance, the device was installed in a residential building with 44 apartments. Without needing to enter tenants’ homes or disrupt their daily lives, the facility manager was able to detect and address several toilet malfunctions within the first few months of operation. These included:

• Toilets with micro-leaks.
• Toilets consuming more water per flush than average.
• Toilets with continuous and excessive water consumption.

Remarkably, 20% of the monitored units reported toilet malfunctions. This discovery surprised the facility manager, who acknowledged that without the E-WATERBLOCK Long Range, these issues would have gone unnoticed until excessive water bills or significant damage occurred.

The E-WATERBLOCK Long Range not only prevents water waste but also delivers substantial cost savings by identifying and stopping anomalies before they escalate. This is particularly valuable in situations where tenants fail to report leaks or malfunctions.

Additionally, the device helps prevent costly flooding damage, further adding to its economic advantages. By adopting E-WATERBLOCK Long Range as a preventive solution for point-of-use leaks, property owners and facility managers can achieve both financial savings and improved efficiency.

With its ability to monitor water consumption in real time, E-WATERBLOCK Long Range provides precise and actionable data about the condition of plumbing fixtures, such as toilets. This enables property managers to schedule maintenance proactively, ensuring systems remain efficient and avoiding unnecessary expenses.
