Abstract: Water flow management system 1 includes a valve 22 in communication with a set of water usage products 40 (e.g. a bath, bidet, shower, urinal 42, toilet 44 and faucet 46). Detector 24 (e.g. water flow smart meter) detects water flow to the set of products. An operational status of the set of products (e.g. water flow rate, water temperature, usage frequency or counter, in-use indicator or time since last use) is determined by processor 205 in the valve or by an electronic controller 60 associated with the set of products. Based on the operational and water flow statuses, the system determines whether water flow to the set of products requires an increase or decrease in pressure, which is effected by operation of the valve. Also disclosed is a water flow management system which determines whether to stop water flow to a set of water usage products based on detection of water flow to the products and an operational status indicating that they are not using water (e.g. due to a leak).
