Phlysense Water and Freeze Sensors
Dear Neighbors,
The Association will be delivering the Phlysense water
leak detectors on Friday.
Friday, May 1, Buildings 8 & 9. Starting at 9:30 AM.
The installation is simple. The sensor will be placed on
the floor in your utility closet.
Fact: Water is the leading cause of
property damage in condo communities.
Windswept's Insurance provider has issued us a sensor
for each unit in our community. The sensors detect water and low temperatures.
They were provided to us at no cost to us by our insurance carrier as a risk
reduction device.
How does it work? Each sensor uses cellular
technology, so a Wi-Fi connection isn't needed. When water is detected, the
device sends alerts by text, phone, and email to management and director
contacts. The messages include building number, unit number, owner's name, and
phone number.
Installation
The sensors will be placed on the floor of every utility
closet between the water heater and the HVAC pan. Since they
operate on a long-life battery, no maintenance is required. Installation will
require a quick visit and less than 5 minutes.
Plan
The Association will notify each building via email
regarding the proposed installation date and time. The process will be
expedited if owners are present. For unoccupied units, access may be
gained using lockbox keys.
Benefit
If one water emergency can be avoided by early detection,
thousands of dollars can be saved.
