In many Indian households, people still turn off water motors manually only after the tank starts to overflow. This leads to thousands of liters of wasted water and higher electricity bills each year. Most automatic controllers available today either shut off the motor or send a notification only after the tank is already full. Almost none check water quality in real time or make conservation fun for families.

Smart WaterGuard changes that. It’s an IoT-based system that predicts when the tank will be full and sends a notification one minute in advance. This gives users control before an overflow occurs. With a single tap in the app, they can turn off the motor remotely or let the system do it automatically. At the same time, Smart WaterGuard continuously monitors pH and TDS levels of the stored water, showing easy-to-read readings in the app to ensure health and safety.

This solution directly benefits households, landlords, and housing societies by reducing water and electricity waste, improving awareness of water quality, and promoting good habits. Families can even track their savings through streaks, leaderboards, and badges, turning conservation into a fun challenge, especially for kids.

I’ve seen firsthand how much water is wasted daily and how little awareness there is about water quality. Smart WaterGuard is my way of providing an affordable, easy-to-install solution that combines technology, health, and behavior change to make smart water management accessible to millions of homes.
