DESCRIPTION Home automation control system of a plumbing installation and operating method to increase its water efficiency. 5 Object of the invention The present invention relates to a water control system for plumbing installations in hot and cold water, consumption or heating and gray water of a house, premises or building, which increases the water and / or energy efficiency of the installation 10 by means of an operation method with which the reduction of water consumption or of the energy used in its consumption and treatment is achieved: the detection and control of water leaks, the avoidance of the consumption of cold water that occurs while waiting for hot water to escape, the decrease in the energy required to consume hot water, the reduction in water consumption when used for cleaning with a soap, foam or similar, the measurement and control of bacterial growth Legionella and other microorganisms, pipe cleaning, and in general, monitoring the control variables of a plumbing installation and its visualization and interaction n by a user or an intelligent and autonomous computer system. twenty Background of the invention Currently, there are technologies to solve some of the problems existing in water supply facilities, including the part of said facilities corresponding to the gray and wastewater of some consumption points, related to problems that affect the water efficiency of said installation, that is, the relationship between the water that enters the installation and the one that is finally used, as well as problems derived from its health. The water efficiency of an installation contemplates loss of flow, voluntary or involuntary, which results in the need for a larger volume of water to achieve certain purposes, while health is essential to ensure the maintenance and usability of a facility for consumption . Of the potential problems in a facility derived from water efficiency, the proposed invention seeks to specifically solve the following: the loss of cold water necessary to use hot water at a point of consumption and the detection of water leaks in dripping elements or for breaks in the installation. With regard to health, the invention proposes a method of testing said health against a specific bacterium, Legionella, in addition to a method applicable to reducing the amount of any type of microorganism and / or preventing its occurrence. In turn, the invention is a great improvement for the energy efficiency of the installation with respect to other current alternatives through the sectorization and automation of double branch recirculation circuits 40 for consumption and the sectorization and automation of closed recirculation circuits for heating or heat exchange Similarly, the system object of the invention provides an improvement in the use of hot water installations when there are at least two separate heaters between them, one main and the other support, so that activation of the support heater does not occur when it suffers the cold water inlet while it is known that the main heater has or is generating hot water. In a specific example, applied to solar (main) heaters that downstream communicate with support heaters (usually electric or fuel), the system measures the temperature reached by the water of the solar panels, so that, the support heater do not activate when it detects the entry of accumulated cold water 50 only in the section that separates both heaters, but wait for hot water that is already being generated naturally (and more economically) by solar panels. Likewise, the invention involves a method of preventive and corrective maintenance of a water supply installation, including the part of the installation corresponding to gray water. The system allows the automatic recirculation of hot water when it detects that there is a danger of freezing in the pipes, which can cause them to break. By using the system sensors arranged in the installation, this circumstance can be prevented by detecting that the water has dropped somewhere below a certain value. For the same purpose, preventive and / or corrective maintenance, the system allows the addition of cleaning or corrective substances for distribution throughout the installation, including, among other possibilities: anti-scale effects, odor elimination, elimination of microorganisms or purification of the chemical and organoleptic properties of water for consumption. In a specific example of application, this in turn related to water efficiency: the system allows the addition of a substance to one of the modules that make it up, located near a point of consumption, such as a shower, and the substance being , a substance with certain properties for cleaning, such as soap. During one of the functions of the system, the soapy substance added to the system, is mixed with the water flow during a consumption stage, so that the properties of said substance are transferred to the water flow and used during its consumption. This function is a clear advantage when it comes to saving water in consumption during cleaning. Normally, during a shower (as a preferred example of use), the user when lathering has two options: a) leave the hot water coming out so as not to be cold, but, with that, spend 20 more water than necessary b) close the tap of water, consuming only that required for subsequent rinsing, but suffering a decrease in body temperature during that process. This function allows the user to lather with water, and, as the effect of the added substance is finished, the rinse process is automatically continued. Additionally, the laundering time is subject to the conditions of the water flow 25 and the type of substance added to the system, so that automatically (by calculating the flow conditions and substance added) or activated by the user, the lathering phase can be timed, assuming a conscious saving of the amount of water needed and / or used in said process. 30 In addition, the invention proposes a method of using gray water generated in a consumption facility. Specifically, the invention contemplates that, through the system and the method implemented, the gray waters generated in gray water toilets (eminently: washbasin, bidet, shower, bath or battery) and / or in a rainwater collection system, are redirected to the cistern (or the fluxor) that discharges a sanitary waste generator 35 such as a toilet or a urinal. In this way, it is possible to greatly improve the water efficiency of an installation, since in an example of a house, the use of these toilets represents a third of the total water consumption of the installation. Finally, the invention ensures that the water efficiency of an installation does not depend solely on the operation of the system, but on the involvement of the user, so that the effect caused by the technology is greater if the user is aware of the objectives sought. for the same. To this end, the system proposes a series of uses for a database generated from the information collected by at least one water control system in operation, and that is growing with the addition of information from other systems of water control of other users. This database is accessible by the user and other authorized persons and entities in order to make statistical and incentive use of said information. As a concrete example; The method of using the database allows a rewards system to be established according to a series of conditions of use of the water control system by the user, which in case 50 are fulfilled, opts for the acquisition of this incentive, in the form of offers or improvements in your service. Likewise, in pursuit of water efficiency, through the database, general information, advice and warnings are offered to the user to improve the positive impact of the technology on their installation; For example: with additional tips for saving water. Finally, the information in this database is also useful for water resource management entities in a region, so that, based on this data, they can establish usage statistics, remodeling plans, infrastructure reform or maintenance and, in short, to have more control over them, with experimental information (by actual processes measured, not by statistics) that does not exist today worldwide. 5 There are already technologies that have tried to a greater or lesser extent to solve any of these problems, without having found a representative for all uses and with all the features of the described invention. 10 Document US2010 / 126604 describes a hot water distribution system on demand, presenting some disadvantages. According to the situation described for the temperature sensor in the document, the water will be recirculating throughout the circuit (roundtrip lines), not only in the consumption branch (outbound), using twice the energy of the strictly necessary to bring hot water to the point of consumption. The technology of this document does not include the possibility that the programming and its functions are modified and customized for the user, so the adaptation to each installation will mean a different and even inefficient performance. According to the document itself, the device brings the hot water to a specific tap and only to said tap, so it is essential to use a tap connection valve to make the effect 20 applied to all the faucets of the installation. In addition, the operation of the device must be activated only through a tap or a specific point, where the user must travel each time he wishes to use the technology. It also reflects the need for an activator for each controlled valve. During operation, this system cuts off the recirculation of water according to time and temperature variables, but not of pressure, so that, if a tap is opened during recirculation, the user must wait for said time until the cycle ends. , wasting energy on the operation of the device even when the process is not having an effect, since the cycle has been technically interrupted by the opening of the tap. According to its operation, it ensures that, if the valve is closed, the pump will continue to drive water without any adverse effect, but this is uncertain, because 30 depending on the power of the pump, the overpressure caused by beating water in a vacuum, can cause the failure in other elements of the installation and in the pump itself. This system also does not contemplate that the pump can be placed in suction, which prevents that, in installations with thermostatic valves, generally in installations with solar panels, the water can correctly perform the recirculation, since the thermostatic valve 35 will try to close the cycle if Water enters through one of its entrances instead of being aspirated from the exit. Document ES2378932 defines a water supply system through a special tap, presenting some disadvantages. This device bases its operation on the presence of a special tap at each point of consumption where the user wants to receive the service, not being compatible with existing installations that incorporate normal faucets, unless said normal faucets are replaced by special taps. The electronic control of the device is also associated with a special concrete tap, creating the pump-tap parity, from where its operation is activated, at each point of consumption of the system, so that the user has to move to said tap to activate its use. The system incorporates a 3-way valve located in the hot water, with an outlet to cold water and another to the tap, so that, in a fault of said valve, the hot water would be disabled in said tap and / or, the Hot water would be permanently communicated with cold water. fifty Document US2010 / 096018 describes an instant hot water distribution technology, presenting some disadvantages. The operation of this technology is based on the existence of a return branch and a water storage tank so that the recirculation is effective, it cannot be performed in a traditional installation without double branch or in instantaneous or no deposit water heaters. The system only contemplates the cutting of the cycle when the water reaches a given temperature, without having sensors or actuators due to pressure or operating time, which can cause the cycle to run indefinitely if the water heater is not generating hot water for any circumstance. The different activators that the technology can count on, are not enabled with warnings of the operating status, so the user does not know when the cycle begins or ends or with what result. Document ES2353414 presents a sanitary hot water recirculation device, presenting some disadvantages. The solenoid valve used by this technology, together with its location, causes the cutting of drinking water while the recirculation cycle is active. In this case, the cycle control is always timed, preprogrammed by the user, and not by other variables such as temperature or pressure, so the user has to predict the times that will be necessary to obtain the water at the appropriate temperature without assume an energy cost overrun because the cycle had been running longer than necessary. Likewise, each activator is located in the vicinity of a tap and controlling only said tap, so it will be necessary to have as many activators as taps so that the hot water, by means of the represented method, reaches each of them. twenty Document US2004 / 182439 supposes an intelligent device and system for the improvement in the use of domestic water, presenting some disadvantages. The system implies the need to interpose a recirculation module at each point of hot water consumption of the installation. In addition, it requires the application of special modified taps or an external recirculation module, both, for each point of consumption. In the case of the external recirculation module, it has at least three valves to produce the recirculation effect. The system also requires an intelligent control panel for each tap or external recirculation module. Likewise, another of the main limitations implies a tank for storing hot water to produce the desired effect, not being compatible with instantaneous or tankless heaters. 30 Brief Description of the Invention The present invention solves the above problem by means of a water control system according to claim 1, an installation according to claim 12 and a method according to claim 14.

Advantageously, the method of operation causes the recirculation of hot water inside the pipes when there is a risk of freezing the water inside, avoiding serious irreversible damage to the facilities, by increasing their temperature. In a particular embodiment of the method of operation of a water control system, analysis and prevention of bacterial growth: 40 - In step a): the detection of at least one activation and / or stop condition of the initiator module is automatically generated by at least one element for managing temporary variables between a clock and / or a calendar.

Advantageously, the method of operation avoids the risk of uncontrolled proliferation of Legionella bacteria in domestic hot water installations for consumption, with the objective 10 to maintain the proliferation risk parameters of said bacterium in safety values by means of control evaluations. These control evaluations consist of checking that every certain period of time (for example: every day): the water at the exit of the water heater is above a given temperature and that the water reaches a point of consumption in a time concrete and at a certain temperature. fifteen In a particular embodiment of the method of operation, of analysis and prevention of the proliferation of bacteria, the method of operation additionally employs at least one control module, wherein said control module injects biocidal substances from its repository to the installation during operation of the water control system twenty Advantageously, this particular embodiment expands the range of protection possibilities against Legionella and other potentially toxic bacteria and / or microorganisms. In a particular embodiment of the method of operation of a water control system, of management of heating and / or recirculation networks: - In step a): the detection of at least one activation and / or stop condition of the initiator module is automatically generated by measuring at least one sensor of at least one power module, installed in a hot branch, of a temperature, 30 of the fluid and / or environmental, equal to or less than a value established in at least one control medium and / or by at least one element of management of temporary variables between a clock and / or a calendar. - In stage d): the power module starts the movement of its pumping system, assuming the recirculation of water through the heater from the power module and throughout the entire installation, in a closed circuit. - In step e): maintaining operation until at least one new activation and / or stop condition is detected: enter: a) the detection on at least one sensor 40 of a power module of a water temperature and / or an ambient temperature and / or a certain operating time used in the process by means of at least one element of temporary variables between: a clock and / or a timer in at least one of the modules or b) activation in any of the modules an external stop means in the physical interface with the user. Four. Five - In stage f): at which time the process ceases, the power module stops the movement of the pumping system. Advantageously, this particular embodiment describes a control method on heating systems constituted by pipes filled with heat transfer fluids (water or others) in a closed circuit, including domestic hot water return circuits by means of parallel or concentric double branch, so that the user can manage the environmental conditions from your own home or premises and / or preheat the water before consumption through a return installation. In a particular embodiment of the method of operation of a water control system, of modification of the properties of the consumption and / or maintenance fluid of the open circuit installation, characterized in that, in a pre-operation phase, The user enters a certain substance in: a) At least one control module, through the repository. 10 b) At least one binding module, where at least one binding module is according to a particular embodiment and includes a repository where a given substance is introduced. And because, when at least one activation and / or stop condition of at least one initiator module is detected: - In step d): the union and / or control module puts the substance of the repository in contact with the water flow, by using at least one valve when the water flow is activated at a point of consumption. twenty - In step e): maintaining operation until at least one new activation and / or stop condition is detected or the user warns that the effect of the substance introduced into the water flow has ended. 25 - In step f): returning the at least one actuated valve, to its original position, interrupting the fluid communication between the repository and the consumption flow. Advantageously, this particular embodiment causes the modification of the working fluid parameters in an installation, so that it is: a) more suitable for human consumption, b) 30 has special properties for cleaning and / or c) allows maintenance integral of a plumbing installation, through the use of cleaning or conservation products that circulate inside the pipes where the effect is intended, in closed or open circulation to a point of consumption. 35 Advantageously, the method of operation allows the drinking water to exit with the properties inherent in the substance contained in the repository for a time determined by the characteristics of the flow and the added substance, until it is completely diluted. This condition is a clear advantage when it comes to saving water in consumption during cleaning. Normally, during a shower (as a preferred example of use), the user when lathering has two options: a) let the hot water out so as not to be cold, but, with this, spend more water than necessary or b) close the tap of water, consuming only that required for subsequent rinsing, but suffering a decrease in body temperature during that process. The method of operation, in its particular embodiment using the joining module for the addition of modifying substances of the properties of the flow, allows the user to lather with water, and, as the contents of the chamber is finished, Continue automatically with the rinse process. Additionally, the laundering time is subject to the conditions of the water flow and the type of substance added in the repository, so automatically (by calculating the flow conditions and added substance) or activated by the user, the 50 soaping phase can be timed, assuming a conscious saving of the amount of water needed and / or used in said process. In case the substance to be used is not suitable for human consumption: - In step g) the water control system warns, through the available warning means, of the need to purge the pipes of the content used, replacing said volume with fresh water coming from the connection. In a particular embodiment of the method of operation, the effect of a substance 5 introduced into at least one module with repository is reproduced by an external device for water treatment connected to the water control system through the function extension bay . In a particular embodiment of the method of operation of a water control system, 10 of modification of the properties of the working fluid and / or maintenance of the closed circuit installation, characterized in that, in a pre-operation phase, the user introduces a certain substance into at least one binding module, where at least one binding module is according to a particular embodiment and includes a repository where a particular substance is introduced, and why, when at least one activation condition is detected 15 and / or stop of at least one initiator module: - In step d): the joining module puts the substance of the repository in contact with the water flow, by using at least one valve when the water flow is activated at a point of consumption, and the power module it starts the operation of its 20 pumping system by moving the water with modified properties by means of the substance added to the repository of the union module, in a closed circuit through the installation. - In step e): maintaining operation until at least one new activation and / or stop condition is detected. - In step f): returning the at least one actuated valve, to its original position, interrupting the fluid communication between the repository and the flow of consumption and stopping the pumping system of the power module. 30 Advantageously, this particular embodiment of the method of operation causes the recirculation in at least one closed circuit of the installation of a modified fluid for the maintenance of the installation in functions, as non-limiting examples: pipe cleaning or leak detection by a fluorescent fluid 35 In a particular embodiment of the method of operation of a water control system, of use of gray water in a gray water installation, characterized in that at least one power module is installed at some point of the water collection installation gray in: 40 a) The additional gray water utilization pipeline, which connects with: a) the toilet cistern or fluxor that evacuates the gray water or b) a connection point of the water supply installation that in turn connects with the cistern or fluxor of the toilet that evacuates gray water. Four. Five b) Connected to the gray water utilization tank; and where given at least one activation and / or stop condition in the initiator module, preferably by means of a level sensor in the toilet cistern where gray waters are intended to be used, and / or by a flow sensor that detects the flow in the 50 gray water pipe and / or by means of a pressure sensor in the water discharge pipe to the sanitary where gray water is intended to be used. And where given at least one condition of activation and / or stop in the initiator module, preferably by means of a level sensor in the toilet cistern where gray waters are intended to be used, and / or by a flow sensor that detects the flow in the gray water pipe and / or by means of a pressure sensor in the water discharge pipe to the sanitary where gray water is intended to be used. 5 - In stage d): the power module activates the pumping system. - In stage e): the gray water discharged by at least one drain to the additional gray water use pipe and / or to the tank is driven by the power module, circulating through the additional gray water use pipe. for use in another toilet, maintaining operation until at least one new activation and / or stop condition is detected between: the measurement of at least one flow and / or pressure sensor in at least one of the modules and whose value is contrasted with at least one control means under whose criteria, including the measurement of temporal variables. - In stage f): the operation ends, interrupting the movement of the pumping system of the power module. twenty Advantageously, this particular embodiment of the operating method generates a notable use of water in a plumbing installation, avoiding wasting drinking water in the emptying of a toilet cistern and taking advantage of gray water discharged by nearby toilets. The seventh function preferably works automatically without the need for user intervention. 25 Advantageously, the use of a gray water utilization tank guarantees that when the power module comes into operation, there is a certain amount of water to be transferred to the tank. 30 In a particular embodiment of the method of operation there is at least one junction module installed in at least any of the possible locations for the power module and that, by opening / closing its at least one valve, allows or interrupts the passage of water to the gray water utilization pipe. 35 In a particular embodiment of the method of operation, the sanitary installation that generates wastewater is one that uses fluxor type mechanisms for toilets, urinals and the like. This type of installation allows the discharge of water under network pressure directly on the toilet for a certain time. Taking the particular case of the additional gray water utilization pipeline that connects with the cold water pipe 40 at a fork before pouring into the cistern, where a valve or a joint module is installed upstream of said fork; it is taken that the final stretch of discharge to the sanitary is initially empty and the valve or the union module prevents the passage of water towards said final section, which is closed at its end, thus allowing the occupation of a volume of water determined by the diameter and length of this section. During the operation of the system, this originally empty section, and preferably of the same volume as the amount of water discharged during the operation of the fluxor, is filled with gray water as a result of the power module, until a pressure rise is detected (which indicates that the pipe section has been filled). Once the section is full and the activation of the fluxor occurs, the user opens the valve or, automatically, the connection module opens and allows the connection with the supply installation in response to the pressure drop caused by the fluxor, from so that the cold water under grid pressure drives the gray water that has filled the section of pipe closest to the drain. Before the fluxor cuts off the water flow completely, the user closes the valve or, automatically, the module The junction changes its state to closed again, allowing the remaining cold water to flow out in the last moments of action of the fluxor and the final section becomes empty again (or it begins to be filled with gray water if available). In a particular embodiment of the method of operation of a water control system, warning and blocking of unwanted water consumption, given at least one activation and / or stop condition of at least one initiator module: - In step a): the control module detects through at least one flow and / or pressure sensor if there is a water flow which, with respect to the information contained in at least one control means, is Consider unwanted. As non-limiting examples: I) water consumption when there are no users in the installation (condition communicated by the user to the water control system through the physical interface of communication with the user or through an external control device), II) consumption prolonged water with respect to an established time, III) water consumption according to 15 established consumption rules at least one control means or IV) conditions of entry to the installation measured by at least one sensor of a pressure and / or temperature of water other than those established as safe the information available by at least one control means. twenty - In stage c): the system executes at least one of the following actions: a) It shows an unambiguous warning signal of this condition through the available warning means. 25 b) Send, through the wireless signal emitter and / or wired alert, information on this condition to an external control device. - in step d): by user interaction directly through the physical interface of communication with the user, or indirectly through the external control device 30 (responding to the alert signal: accepting or denying consumption) and / or automatically according to the consumption and time variables processed by at least one control means (if the user does not respond to the alert signal), the control module a) changes the state of at least one Inner valve from open to closed, preventing the passage of water through this valve to the water supply installation 35 if the consumption is denied by the user or if it does not respond to the signal of alera in a certain maximum time ob ) does not change the state of the at least one valve (if consumption is accepted), allowing the passage of the supply inside. Advantageously, this particular embodiment of the method of operation of a water control system has a method to detect and avoid unwanted consumption of water in an installation, when the user leaves it or if it is imperceptible, caused by defects in the same as leaks, breaks, drips and other installation failures. In this way, the damage caused to the installation is limited to the volume of water that is inside the pipes at the time of the generation of the warning signal and its consequent response. In a particular embodiment of the method of operation, through the communication module loT, external emergency means is notified that this defect exists in the installation. Thus, in a particular case of a user who has contracted a home insurance 50, the system sends the alert signal for unwanted consumption to said contact, according to a schedule estimated by the user or by the insurer itself, so that can intervene to solve the defect detected. Similarly, these security contacts to the ones that are sent the security alert are: neighbors, farm administrators, family, friends or firefighters, among other possible. In any of the operating methods that include recirculation, the activation and / or stop conditions are caused by a pressure sensor and / or a pressure switch, so that, when a pressure drop greater than the pressure caused by the pumping system of the power and / or control module, inherent in the opening of a tap, which implies a pressure drop from the network pressure to the atmospheric pressure, the recirculation circuit is interrupted, since: a) the network pressure is higher than that caused by the power and / or control module and the water in the cold water pipe cannot flow in the opposite direction to that of consumption and / or b) the depression caused redirects the direction of flow working from the connection to the open consumption point, regardless of the programmed operating circuit. If a tap opening occurs while a recirculation cycle is taking place, this condition is detected by the pressure sensor or pressure switch, creating a signal to cease activity in the water control system, which changes from the state in that they were back to their original state. Advantageously, this last particular embodiment, allows to save energy in the recirculation process when it is interrupted by the opening of a tap, preventing said process from being maintained until the condition of activity stop for time. twenty In a particular embodiment of the operating method, at least one of the operating stages, at least one loT communication module is used which communicates to the water control system with at least one external sensor and / or an external actuator and / or an external control means, and where the information measured, sent and / or received by at least one of these 25 external elements is used as an activation and / or stop condition. In a particular embodiment of the method of operation, in at least one of the operating stages, a measurement sensor of environmental variables is used, so that it is used as an activation and / or stop condition of any of the functions, with Special relevance in those related to user comfort (example: heating) or the prevention of extreme working temperatures (example: danger of freezing). In a particular embodiment of the method of operation, characterized in that the method of operation additionally employs: at least one power and / or junction and / or control module, which: a) is involved in the generation of at least one condition of activation and / or shutdown and / or b) sectorizes the application of the method of operation in a specific section of the installation by opening or closing at least one valve and activating or deactivating at least one pumping system. 40 Advantageously, the installation of at least one additional junction module at an intermediate point of an installation operating in a closed circuit allows sectorizing the scope of the recirculation functions so that they only cover the sections enabled according to the activation of the at least one valve. of said at least one additional joining module. In a particular case, a double branch installation that runs through the entire floor of a building has a junction module that connects two parts of the flow pipe with a part of the return network. During the original operation of recirculation according to the double branch, the water runs throughout the plant in both directions. In the case of the installation of the joint module in the middle of said path and during the operation of the water control system in a particular embodiment, a new connection between mid-way and return is enabled midway, so that the cycle It is shortened in half. This function allows you to shorten the time and energy used in the cycle. In an example of application: if in a hotel with a branch of hot water that distributes to rooms 1 to 10, the last rooms (6 to 10) are not being occupied, it is not necessary that the cycle of Recirculation reaches these rooms, but it is preferable that it reaches only those that are going to take advantage of hot water (1 to 5). In this specific example, half the time and energy in the cycle is saved, proportionally to the cropped path Advantageously, the installation of at least one additional connection module allows to establish additional flow control lines, so that it is obliged to pass or not pass through certain elements of the installation protecting them from wear. In a particular case of application to the operation of the water control system during the recirculation for the preheating of hot water before consumption, when the power module is located by sucking hot water from the water heater, an additional pipe parallel to said Heater; wherein said parallel pipe has an additional connection module 10, so that two alternative paths are created for the water that, a) either passes to the support heater or b) circulates through said parallel line without entering The heater heater. Thus, during operation, the hot water will inevitably pass through the power module, so that when the operation process ends and the water consumption begins, the alternative flow line is enabled, parallel 15 to the power module, so that, during hot water consumption, this hot water does not pass through the power module but through said alternative flow line, extending the life of the power module. In a particular embodiment, all modules of the invention are powered by internal and / or removable and rechargeable batteries. Advantageously, this allows them to be installed in humid environments where the presence of electrical wiring is not allowed by regulation. It also allows operation even when there is no electrical power in the network, for example, during a power failure. 25 In a fourth inventive aspect, the invention generates a database collected and stored by the different installed system modules. The data refers to different variables of the installation, of the installed equipment, of the user, of the water consumption and of its composition and properties, for non-limiting purposes: information collected by the sensors on flow rates, temperatures and consumption pressures in each pipe controlled, 30 collected by the means of managing temporary variables during different time intervals, classified by user or type of installation. The experimental database created by the information collected by the control means of the water control system, is sent through the communication module loT, through the transmitter-receiver of wireless and / or wired signals to a control device external and / or an information management platform, where the information of each active water control system is stored, the characteristics of the system and its application in the installation, the routines of use of hot and cold water and water gray, the water efficiency caused by the system, user information and the type of installation, and 40 managed by big data tools and neural networks. In a fifth inventive aspect, the invention provides a method of information and incentive for the responsible consumption of water and, consequently, of the water efficiency of the controlled installation. Four. Five This information and incentive method for the responsible consumption of water uses as a basis the information collected by the control means of the water control system, where the data is anonymized, and fully and / or limitedly accessible: a) by the user through at least one means of visualization of the system or by means of an external control device 50, b) by manufacturers and technicians of the water control system for the planning and resolution of technical incidents and related to the installation, maintenance and error prevention, c) by manufacturers and commercials of the water control system for statistical research and improvement of commercial application, d) companies and administrations involved in the process of construction, urban planning and water resources management, so that they obtain novel information on water consumption to plan the distribution of resources and plan improvements and solutions in Smart Cities models, e) the companies and administrations for research in areas related to the nature and objectives of the invention, f) companies and administrations 5 that participate in the gamification model of water efficiency. In a particular embodiment of the information and incentive method for responsible water consumption, there is a gamification model for the incentive of the use of the water control system in order to improve the water efficiency of the user and / or the installation, based on the fact that companies and / or administrations send to the information management platform, from the experimental database, general conditions given for the achievement of incentives, aimed at at least one user and / or group of users , where said general conditions include at least: a) given consumption and / or b) installation conditions, which are displayed by each user through the at least one display system that has the water control system and / or through a connected external control device, so that if the user and / or an installation meet the conditions required by the incentives described by said companies and / or administrations can obtain an advantageous incentive or offer, finally granted by a) raffle between users and / or facilities that meet said conditions, b) temporary order 20 of compliance with said conditions, c) magnitude in compliance of said conditions, d) another designation rule for granting the incentive included in the information management platform, and that is notified to the user through the means of visualization of the water control system and / or by an external control device connected, and notified to the company and / or administration granting the communication incentive through the management platform. In a particular embodiment of the information and incentive method for responsible water consumption, the manufacturer and other authorized entities send information to the user on how to improve the water efficiency of their installation by means of visualization 30 of the water control system and / or by means of a connected external control device. Advantageously, the information and incentive method for the responsible consumption of water is characterized by the improvement of the quality of life and environmental awareness of a user and the water efficiency of a proven facility based on 35 parameters that can be measured by the water system. water control and by means of surveys or other communications made through the at least one display means of the water control system and / or a connected external control device. Advantageously, the visualization by the user of all water use variables: flow, temperature, pressure or consumption of hot and cold water, among other variables represented in real time and historically in periods, together with the signals emitted by the means of warning; luminous, acoustic and / or vibration in the module itself or through the external devices with which it is connected, when certain values are reached in the variables measured or calculated based on them, they achieve a greater impact on saving and water and / or energy efficiency of the invention, by making the user a participant in its operation and advantageous effects, modifying its water use habits towards more sustainable and ecological routines, enhancing its environmental awareness.

Said tank (304) has at least three connections between the following: a) at least one water inlet coming from the gray water pipe (302), b) at least 35 one water inlet coming from the water collection pipe gray water (307), c) at least one water outlet to the gray water utilization pipe (303), and / od) at least one water outlet to the wastewater drain pipe (306). The at least one gray water use pipe (303) connects with a cistern (207) and / or a fluxor (208) that discharges water to a sanitary that generates wastewater and that is poured directly into the collection pipe of wastewater (306). This sanitary is where there is the use of gray water used, directly, or indirectly, in the latter case, connecting the gray water pipe (303) at a connection point (305) with the hot water branch (220) and / or the cold water branch (210) that feed said tank (207) and / or fluxor (208).
