Save water, your home and the planet
In just nine years, two out of every three people may face a shortage of clean water. Yet most of us don’t think about water until there is a problem. And when there is an issue, it is often identified too late and wastes thousands of gallons of water.
We can do better.

The realities of household water waste
24 billion baths
The amount U.S. households waste: over a trillion gallons of water a year
4,000 gallons every day
Leaky toilets - a common problem - can add thousands of dollars to an annual water bill
270 loads of laundry
The equivalent of the average household's leaks every year - around 10,000 gallons
180 showers
A faucet dripping at the rate of one drip per second can waste more than 3,000 gallons over a year
Never worry about leaks again
Never worry about leaks again
Don't get soaked
If you’ve ever had a leak, you already know that a small drip can turn into a big headache. It’s inconvenient, messy and expensive. Don’t you wish there was something paying attention to this all day, everyday - even when you're not there?
The Phyn story
The Phyn story
We want to ensure there is reliable water for as many people as possible, for as long as possible.
Phyn is a joint venture of Belkin International, a global leader in consumer technology and the Internet of Things, and Uponor, a leading supplier of plumbing for residential and commercial spaces worldwide.
Why Phyn?
The idea of Phyn began nearly a decade ago when the looming disaster of global water shortages was starting to make headlines. We realized that water is our most vital natural resource, yet there has been a fundamental lack of technological innovation dedicated to solving these major issues.
People unknowingly waste trillions of gallons of water per year, largely because you can't fix something that you don't know is broken. But what if you could? We believe that creating the tools to address issues before they start is the key to saving water, saving money and, just maybe, saving the planet.
How we got here
In 2010, Belkin acquired clean energy start-up Zensi, led by University of Washington professor, Dr. Shwetak Patel, who now serves as Belkin’s Chief Scientist and continues to be involved in research and development. Zensi had made significant strides in the areas of sensors and machine learning in the home. Under Belkin’s stewardship this technology became known as WeMo Water, and a dedicated team with millions in continued research and development created a real-world solution.
In May of 2016, Uponor joined Belkin as a strategic partner to take this product to the next level and Phyn was born. Uponor's deep ties to the professional plumbing and construction industries enable Phyn to accelerate our impact on solving the issue of water waste.
