If you’re not familiar with Phyn then you haven’t been reading our coverage and reviews. The company makes intelligent water solutions that are helpful yet stylish at the same time. Here at CES 2020, the company announced its award-winning product portfolio will expand with the addition of the XL series, which includes the Phyn XL 1.5″ and the Phyn XL 2″.
Built on the best-in-class solution of the Phyn Plus, these two new products address the growing demand for water efficiency tools for commercial properties and extend Phyn’s sophisticated machine learning and water sensing technology to larger homes, new construction and light commercial properties with supply lines up to 2″.
Phyn’s robust product suite now offers a full range of leak detection and water monitoring solutions for every type of residence, ranging from the recently-launched DIY installed Phyn Smart Water Assistant to the professionally-installed Phyn Plus, Phyn XL1.5″ and Phyn XL 2″. All of the Phyn products work with the free Phyn app and can utilize the Phyn Dashboard, a web-based portal to monitor and manage multiple properties with Phyn devices. This presents significant opportunities for property and asset managers, homeowner associations, insurance companies, utilities and builders to mitigate their risk of expensive and time-consuming leaks, save on utility and operating costs, and better understand and manage water consumption on a larger scale. Additionally, the Phyn XL 1.5″ and Phyn XL 2″ offer ethernet connectivity in addition to WiFi for maximum flexibility.
“Today, water conservation and sustainability are a growing concern for everyone, especially property owners as it can directly impact budgets and bottom lines,” said Ryan Kim, CEO of Phyn. “At Phyn, we are on a mission to provide simple, intuitive tools that protect every type of property against water damage. The addition of Phyn XL 1.5″ and XL 2″ to our existing product line are a clear next step in our company’s dedication to providing best-in-class products for anyone who proactively seeks to monitor their water consumption and protect their investment.”
The commercial sector uses an estimated 10.2 billion gallons of water per day. Commercial facilities including offices and restaurants use a significant amount of water in their daily operations and carry high risk related to water damage. From the moment it is installed, Phyn measures microscopic changes in pressure – 240 times a second – to identify leaks, diagnose plumbing issues and monitor water use, automatically increasing the water efficiency of any residence or building. In a pilot program with the City of Sante Fe, local restaurants that were outfitted with Phyn Plus devices saw up to 25% in savings, with one restaurant reducing its water consumption by 40%.
Phyn XL 1.5″ and Phyn XL 2″ will be available in the second half of 2020. These new products offer the option to purchase the device with or without an integrated shutoff valve for properties primarily concerned with tracking and reducing water usage. With the addition of these products, Phyn now supports homes and commercial properties with supply lines ranging from 2″ on down. The company’s range of products include:
