Why Sonic is temporarily sold out (and why demand suddenly surged)

Demand for Watergate Sonic has grown significantly over the past few months.

As more homeowners, landlords and building operators look for ways to prevent leaks and manage water more intelligently, adoption has accelerated faster than we expected.

As a result, our current stock has now been fully allocated and we are temporarily operating a waiting list while the next production batch is completed.

The next shipment is already in production and scheduled to arrive in June 2026. When it lands, devices will be allocated on a first-come, first-served basis.

If you are planning an installation or rollout, we recommend registering your interest now or speaking with your Watergate advisor so we can secure devices from the next production batch.

Why demand has surged

This sudden spike isn’t a coincidence.

Across the UK and Europe, water risk is becoming impossible to ignore.

Water leaks remain the number one cause of property damage, costing insurers billions each year and causing disruption to homes, businesses and public buildings.  

At the same time, water itself is becoming more valuable. Utilities, regulators and building owners are all under pressure to reduce waste and manage water more intelligently.

What we are seeing now is a clear shift:

• More homeowners want protection against hidden leaks.
• More landlords and property managers want visibility across their portfolios
• More organisations want to track and reduce water consumption.

In short, people are realising that water systems should be as smart as the rest of the building.

Why we’d rather slow down than ship less

When demand rises quickly, some companies rush to increase production at any cost.

We won’t do that.

Every Sonic device goes through a strict manufacturing and testing process. Maintaining that quality matters more than pushing out devices faster.

So while we wish we had more units available today, the good news is that the next production run is already underway.

And when it arrives, we’ll start fulfilling orders immediately.

Join the waiting list

If you were planning to install Sonic soon, the best step now is simple.

Register your interest so we can prioritise your order when the next production batch arrives.

For homeowners, we offer the option to secure a place in the queue with a £50 refundable deposit.

For landlords, property managers and organisations planning multiple installations, our team will work with you to reserve allocation and plan your rollout. 

Customers on the waiting list will be contacted first to complete their order and arrange delivery.
