4.1.4. WATER DETECTED BY GROHE SENSE

WATER DETECTED BY GROHE SENSE –
WATER SUPPLY SWITCHED OFF
EXPLANATION
One of the GROHE Sense water sensors installed in your house detected water.
Depending on your device preferences, your water may have been automatically shut off.
Please note that GROHE Sense is sensitive, and it is enough for a small amount of water
under the device to trigger a flooding alarm.
RECOMMENDATION WHAT TO DO
Locate the GROHE Sense and check why it has detected water. In case of flooding,
GROHE Sense blinks red and sends out an acoustic signal.
Depending on the cause and severity, take first prevention measures to minimize
the damage. If needed, shut off your water supply, call an installer, and contact your
insurance company. When the risk has been mitigated, re-open the water supply.
