App Concept
HammerStop Pro
HammerStop Pro is a mobile app that uses sound analysis and pipe dimension inputs to diagnose water hammer risk and recommend mitigation strategies (e.g., arrestor sizing, pressure adjustments). It guides technicians step-by-step through complex commercial systems, factoring in pipe diameters, flow rates, and valve types. Unlike generic plumbing calculators, it is built specifically for multi-branch commercial installations.
Key Features
- Sound-based water hammer detection using phone mic
- Pipe diameter and flow rate input for custom calculations
- Mitigation recommendation engine (arrestor sizing, valve adjustments)
- Integrated code compliance check for municipal notification
Target Users: Commercial plumbing technicians and engineers working on large-scale water systems (ice rinks, hospitals, factories) in companies of 1-50 employees.
Revenue Model: $19.99/mo per user subscription, with $49.99/mo pro tier including AR visualization and cloud storage of site reports.
