What does it mean?
Your Phyn Smart Water Sensor checks temperature levels every hour. You received this alert because the sensor detected a temperature below the threshold you set.
Low temperatures can cause water pipes to freeze, which may lead to pipe bursts and water damage.
What can I do?
The appropriate response depends on how close the temperature is to freezing. The closer the temperature is to freezing, the more urgent it is to take action. Some of the steps below may take time to raise the temperature.
Open faucets
Open all faucets in your home. If water flows at a trickle, this may indicate partial blockage caused by ice formation.Turn up the heat
Increase your thermostat setting to warm your home and help protect exposed pipes.Identify frozen pipes
Frozen pipes are most commonly found in basements, crawl spaces, or along exterior walls where pipes are exposed.Warm up frozen pipes
Use a hair dryer to gently warm frozen pipes or wrap them with towels soaked in hot water. Do not use a blowtorch or any open flame, as this can cause serious damage or fire.Have a basement?
Use a space heater to warm the area if needed. Do not leave space heaters unattended.
If the alert is expected or not a concern, you can adjust your temperature alert settings in the Phyn app.
