Abstract

A water flow management system (1) is disclosed including a valve (22), the valve (22) being adapted to communicate with at least one water flow detector (24) and a set of water usage products (40), wherein the water flow detector (24) is for detecting water flow to the set of water usage products (40). The valve includes a processor (205) that is arranged to determine: an operational status of the set of water usage products (40), a water flow status of the water flow detector (24), and whether, on the basis of the operational status and the water flow status, the water flow to the set of water usage products (40) requires alteration. The processor (205) is adapted to operate the valve (40) to effect the required alteration.
