Prevent: do whatever you can to stop leaks from happening
Regular checks on your equipment & managing pressure can help 𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐧𝐭 leaks from happening in the first place. Plus, even with new installations, it's important to keep an eye on quality control to ensure everything stays leak-free.
Aware: make sure you spot leaks as soon as they emerge
That's where being 𝐚𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐞 comes in. With the help of AI and machine learning, you detect any anomalies as soon as they emerge, making sure you're on top of any potential issues before they go out of control.
Locate: pinpoint & fix the leak before it causes major headaches
Instead of relying on guesswork, smart water technology gives you precise insights into where leaks are happening. This means you can tackle them head-on as soon as they pop up, rather than waiting until they become a bigger problem.

When you talk about leaks, are you referring to real losses?
If yes, then you should probably consider other types of losses. Apparent losses, such as metering inaccuracies and illegal use, can also contribute to water loss.
You can reduce metering inaccuracies by replacing customer meters.

Leak Localization
Leak Localization
The next step is to locate leaks in your network.
These are often pipe bursts or punctures hidden underground, making them difficult to find.
The good news is AI-aided analysis helps pinpoint "leak hot spots" in your network, minimizing the search area and reducing the time and effort needed to detect and fix leaks.
