App Concept
DrainSafe Pro
DrainSafe Pro is a smart overflow prevention device for residential plumbing that monitors drain flow rates and automatically restricts bath drain flow or activates a secondary drain path to prevent standpipe overflow. It installs inline with the bath waste and connects wirelessly to a sensor on the standpipe, ensuring compliant and safe drainage without requiring major re-piping.
Key Features
- Inline flow restrictor that limits bath drain rate when standpipe capacity is exceeded
- Wireless standpipe level sensor that triggers the restrictor
- Battery-powered with low-battery alerts
- Easy DIY installation with standard PVC fittings
Target Users: Homeowners and plumbers dealing with multi-fixture drainage conflicts in residential settings, particularly older homes.
Revenue Model: $79 per unit one-time purchase, with optional $3/mo cloud monitoring subscription.
