RFID Device Serves as Plumber's Helper
By Claire Swedberg
May 12, 2005—Water-management technology company AquaOne Technologies has announced an RFID-enabled water-monitoring device that can be attached to public and private toilets. The device will recognize when a toilet is leaking or overflowing and sound an alarm or shut off the water source automatically.
The H2Orb system replaces the company's previous water-monitoring device, Flow Manager, which was not wireless and did not use RFID technology. The new system is smaller, quieter and more effective than the Flow Manager, according to Richard Quintana, president and founder of AquaOne, which is based in Long Beach, Calif.
By using radio frequency identification, the company has been able to provide a device that is less visible and operates without wires. That was the goal of AquaOne throughout the six years it developed this technology, Quintana says; to develop a system that could be easily installed without wires and would be unobtrusive. By being less visible than wired systems, it is also more attractive to commercial customers such as hotels.
