Connected Technology Designed for Facilities, Not IT
plumbSMART is Zurn Elkay's cloud-based application for connected drinking water products. All connected units required a Zurn Gateway, which used secure LoRaWAN® technology to transmit data independently of your building's Wi-Fi network--providing real-time visibility without IT infrastructure changes.
Why LoRaWAN?
Connected bottle fillers communicate through a secure LoRaWAN gateway that operates independently of your building's Wi-Fi network. Data is securely transmitted to plumbSMART, giving facility teams real-time visibility without requiring IT infrastructure changes.
Four Simple Steps to a Connected Facility
Get connected in four simple steps. Install a Zurn Gateway, activate your connected bottle fillers, and use plumbSMART to monitor performance, receive alerts, and simplify maintenance.
