About Aguardio
Empowering sustainability through innovative water-saving IoT solutions
Our products provide a simple yet effective step towards creating a more sustainable future for us all. Through the use of our products, our aim is to significantly reduce water and energy consumption in the bathroom, minimizing water waste and lowering carbon footprint – and overall optimization via data.
Taking responsibility for preserving our planet’s resources
Water scarcity is a pressing global issue that is expected to intensify due to climate change and population growth. Over 2 billion people currently live in water-scarce areas, and this number is projected to rise. Even developed countries like Germany, Norway, and the UK are not immune to this problem. Therefore, adopting sustainable water practices is essential to address this critical issue.
That’s why we created Aguardio – our Shower and Leak Sensors encourage simple water-saving measures that have a significant impact on reducing water consumption and waste. Our unique solution goes beyond providing short-term fixes: It instills sustainable water practices in users’ minds and has been proven to change water usage behaviours leading to long-term change.
Big change start with big ambitions
