With the development of technology, many home appliances have started to evolve towards becoming "smart". Thermostats, lighting, locks – and now water softeners. The introduction of WiFi technology to water softeners opens up a whole new dimension of possibilities, but do WiFi water softeners make sense? Is it worth investing in this modern technology?
Remote device status monitoring
One of the main advantages of water softeners with WiFi is the ability to remotely monitor the operating status of the device. Thanks to the application associated with the softener, the user has constant access to the most important information about the device's condition - for example, he can check whether the device is working properly, and monitor the level of tableted salt. In addition, the softener will inform the user in advance when the salt level is low, which allows it to be refilled without the need for regular manual checks.
Water consumption analysis
Water softeners with WiFi not only care about the quality of our water, but also provide information about our consumption habits. The mobile application installed on the phone enables access to charts and statistics showing when (in what hours, days, months) we use the most water. Such analysis can help to better manage water consumption, which translates into savings.
Excessive water flow detection
Another advantage of water softeners with WiFi is the function of detecting excessive water flow, caused, for example, by a failure of a cistern or an unscrewed tap. If such an event is detected, the device sends a notification, which enables a quick response and elimination of the problem. This not only saves money, but also helps protect your home from possible water damage.
Maintenance and service planning
Another important advantage of water softeners with WiFi is the ability to schedule maintenance and service. By monitoring the device on an ongoing basis, the application can inform the user about the approaching date of necessary maintenance, for example filter replacement. This definitely facilitates planning and allows you to keep the device in optimal condition for a long time.
Energy and water saving
WiFi technology in water softeners can also contribute to energy and water savings. Thanks to intelligent algorithms, water softeners are able to adapt their operation to current needs, for example by reducing water consumption during periods of lower demand. This translates into real savings on utility bills.
Remote service by professionals
The last but not least benefit of having a water softener with WiFi is the ability to remotely operate the device by professionals. This means that if we have any problems with our device, our service technician can remotely diagnose the problem and, if possible, even solve it without having to physically come to our house. This not only saves time, but also gives us the confidence that our device is always in the best hands.
