You can run a Plumbing Check at any time from the Phyn App to confirm your plumbing system is watertight.
How to Run a Plumbing Check
Launch the Phyn App.
Tap the Menu icon.
Select Plumbing Check.
Tap Run Test.
Tap Continue.
You will see “Plumbing Check is in Progress.”
You may exit the app during the test. You can return at any time to view the results.
If the Test Is Interrupted
If water is used during the test, you will see the message:
“Your plumbing check was cancelled due to an interruption. Make sure that no water is running during the test.”
You will be prompted to run the test again.
Make sure:
No faucets are running
No appliances are using water
Irrigation systems are off
When the Test Is Complete
You will see “Testing Complete.”
If No Issues Are Detected
If your internal water pressure remains stable or drops less than 4 PSI, you will see:
“Good news. Your pipes are watertight and your water pressure looks good. You're all set. I'll let you know if I see anything unusual.”
Tap Test Details to view more information.
If a Possible Leak Is Detected
If the system detects a pressure drop of approximately 4 PSI or more, you will see a message similar to:
“This plumbing check shows a PSI drop in water pressure, which indicates you may have a leak.”
You will also see a graph showing the pressure drop.
The app will recommend:
Checking behind toilets
Looking under sinks
Inspecting around outdoor spigots
Placing paper towels under pipe joints and checking them after 15 minutes
If you find a leak, or suspect one but cannot locate it, contact a licensed plumber.
Important
A Plumbing Check alert can sometimes be triggered by:
A shower not fully turned off
A dripping faucet
A hose or outdoor spigot not fully closed
If you find an obvious issue, correct it and run the Plumbing Check again in about one hour.
