Inclusive, modular, and minimalist innovation.
WAISENSE is designed to address key sustainability challenges, specifically water scarcity, energy consumption, and waste reduction. According to the UN, by 2050, only 60% of global water demand will be met, driven by inefficient plumbing, lack of awareness, and limited data.
WAISENSE aims to mitigate these issues by focusing on these solutions:
Water waste prevention: eliminates water waste by optimizing hot water usage, where users typically waste water waiting for it to reach the desired temperature, without requiring additional infrastructure like return pipes or accumulators.
Anomalous consumption detection: WAISENSE identifies and addresses water waste caused by leaks or the occupation of empty homes, thus improving water management.
WAISENSE also embraces sustainability in its construction and delivery model, using locally sourced, recycled materials with CE marking, ensuring a minimal environmental footprint. WAISENSE offers a (PAAS) model, allowing customers to return used devices for reconditioning, giving them a second life and reducing material waste.
In tangible impact, WAISENSE contributes significantly to water conservation saving 6-25 liters of water every time hot water is used, leading to an average saving of 149m³ per year/household. In Europe, with colder temperatures, the impact is even greater. The technology also prevents the average annual waste of 32m³ of water per household, equivalent to 1,500kg/CO2 emissions.
It addresses water leakage, which in Spain alone is responsible for 25% of water consumption. Real-time detection and automatic shut-off prevent up to 117m³ of water wastage per installation annually. WAISENSE also aims to tackle grey water management, ensuring that water suitable for reuse is not discarded.
By contributing to water and energy savings, WAISENSE helps mitigate carbon emissions, each system/user saves 9,227 kg of CO2 (domestic application), in industrial applications is exponentially higher.

WAISENSE was designed in response to a pressing social and environmental demand: the need for responsible water management in both industrial and domestic settings. From its inception, the project has actively involved citizens and civil society organizations to ensure its solutions align with real-world needs/challenges.
WAISENSE is not just a technological innovation; it is a socially driven solution that puts citizens at the center of water conservation. From the early stages of development, the project has prioritized inclusivity and universal access, ensuring that all individuals—regardless of their background, abilities, or gender—can benefit from its implementation.
Public participation has played a crucial role in shaping WAISENSE. Through surveys, pilot programs, and direct engagement with communities, we have gathered valuable feedback to refine the system’s usability, accessibility, and impact. Beyond individual users, WAISENSE has fostered partnerships with local communities, educational institutions, and public administrations to create awareness campaigns, training programs, and engagement activities.
The project’s philosophy is also reflected in its name: "WAI" means "water" in Maori, a culture renowned for its sustainable management of natural resources, while "SENSE" refers to logic and responsibility in efficient water use. This vision has allowed WAISENSE to expand beyond national borders, registering its intellectual property in countries facing similar water challenges. Its international reach now extends to European, Asian, and American markets, reinforcing its global commitment to water conservation.
This collaborative effort has strengthened its social impact, transforming water conservation into a collective responsibility rather than an individual burden.

-The technology supports greywater reuse, reducing industrial and domestic wastewater discharge.
4- Direct and indirect beneficiaries:
-Households benefit from lower water bills and more sustainable living.
-Real estate developers gain advantages in green certifications such as BREEAM and LEED, increasing property value.
-Municipalities experience reduced strain on water infrastructure and enhanced water security.
WAISENSE is not just a productit is a scalable, circular solution driving industrial sustainability and systemic change in water efficiency.
Our key results, outcomes and measurable impact are:
1- Water conservation at scale:
-WAISENSE saves between 6-25 litres per use, preventing up to 149 m³ of water waste per household annually.
-In hotels, gyms, and large facilities, the impact is even greater, cutting thousands of cubic meters of waste per year.
-Since its launch, WAISENSE has prevented more than 56 million litres of water waste.
2- CO₂ and energy savings:
-Avoiding 32 m³ of wasted water per household per year prevents emissions of 1,500 kg CO₂ annually.
-Every cubic meter of water saved reduces between 0.37-8.5 kWh of energy consumption in treatment, purification, and distribution.
-Tackling leaks, which account for 25% of Europe’s water consumption, reduces 117 m³ of wasted water per facility, with an impact of 1.17 tons of CO₂ per facility.
3- Circular economy and industrial transformation:
-WAISENSE devices are CE-certified, locally sourced, and use recycled materials.
-The PAAS model allows users to exchange used devices for refurbished ones, extending their lifespan and reducing e-waste.
-The technology supports greywater reuse, reducing industrial and domestic wastewater discharge.
4- Direct and indirect beneficiaries:
-Households benefit from lower water bills and more sustainable living.
-Real estate developers gain advantages in green certifications such as BREEAM and LEED, increasing property value.
-Municipalities experience reduced strain on water infrastructure and enhanced water security.
