The Enzo one.drop is designed so you can install it yourself — without tools and without a plumber. All you need is your home’s main water pipe, your smartphone and about 5–10 minutes.
This guide explains step by step how the installation works and what to look for when choosing the right mounting position so the sensor can measure accurately from the beginning.
Fully charge the Enzo one.drop before you begin the installation. A full battery ensures that the sensor is not interrupted during setup.
Cable tie note The included cable tie is reusable. Please do not cut it.
In the meantime, download the Enzo app to your smartphone. You can find it here:
Open the app and tap “I already have a one.drop sensor”. Enter the email address you used when ordering — the same address where you received your order and shipping confirmation.
Your user account has already been created automatically before the sensor arrived. You do not need to register separately anywhere.
Every house has a different pipe system, so there is no single universal mounting position. The following points will help you find the best spot for your setup.
We recommend installing the sensor as early as possible in the pipe system, ideally where the water supply enters the house, near the water meter. Choose a clean section of pipe that is at least 1 meter away from a wall where the pipe enters or leaves the building. The sensor monitors everything that comes after it. The earlier it sits in the system, the more comprehensive the coverage.
Choose a location with at least 20 cm distance from valves, pipe brackets or wall penetrations. A free, undisturbed pipe section supports clean measurement.
The optimal mounting position is horizontally on top of the pipe. In this position, gravity helps the sensor sit firmly on the pipe and keeps the thermal pad in continuous contact with it.
Also make sure the sensor faces open space, not directly toward a wall, ceiling, floor, other pipes or devices. This ensures an undisturbed measurement of the ambient temperature.
If the pipe is closer than 5 cm to a wall, we recommend turning the sensor slightly toward the room. This keeps good contact with the pipe and avoids interference with the measurement.
Essential The thermal pad must sit tightly and fully against the pipe, and the cable tie must be firmly tightened.
The sensor works with all common pipe materials. The most precise measurements are achieved on copper or brass pipes, because they transmit temperature changes especially quickly. On plastic or stainless-steel pipes, sensitivity is slightly lower, but reliable detection is still possible. If you have a choice, prefer a copper or brass pipe.
Thoroughly wipe the mounting location before installation. Dust, dirt or oxidation residue on the pipe can affect the contact of the thermal pad and reduce measurement accuracy.
If your pipe is insulated, remove the insulation at the mounting point and about 20 cm before and after it. Insulation around the sensor would prevent it from correctly measuring the pipe temperature.
The Enzo one.drop continuously measures the temperature of the pipe and the surrounding air. Do not install the sensor directly next to devices or influences that could affect the ambient temperature, such as freezers, washing machines, water softeners, heating systems or windows. Nearby heat or cold sources can distort the measurement.
Then open the Enzo app. You will be asked to scan the QR code on your sensor. The app will then guide you through the rest of the setup with illustrated step-by-step instructions.
Once you have found the right position, attach the sensor to the pipe with the included cable tie. The cable tie is reusable — please do not cut it.
Important Before tightening, make sure the small grey thermal pad on the underside of the sensor lies directly and fully on the pipe. The thermal pad is the sensor’s measuring point; only direct contact with the pipe allows precise measurement. Then tighten the cable tie so the sensor cannot slip.
After installation, the Enzo one.drop calibrates itself automatically during the first 2–3 weeks. During this time, the system learns your individual water-usage pattern and refines its analysis accordingly.
You do not need to do anything during this phase. If we notice that something about the sensor data or selected installation location is not optimal, we will contact you directly.
