I really like the idea of the solenoid shutting the water off when not needed. But I would be a bit concerned about the sudden increase in water pressure when the solenoid activates every time. When I attach the hose to the faucet, I turn the water on slowly so there are no sudden pressure surges. Activating the solenoid several times a day seems like you're introducing a lot of pressure surges.
I've never noticed a surge. What I do notice sometimes (barely) is the hum from the solenoid - open = 120 volt power on. You could always add a water hammer arrestor.
