126 Billion Cubic Meters Lost Annually-ls Your Water System at Risk?
Still Relying on Manual Water Readings?
Without smart metering, leaks go undetected and usage data comes too late — leading to errors, disputes, and waste.
Unaware of Pump Failures or Inefficiencies?
Unstable pressure and pump failures disrupt operations and drive up costs. Real-time insights are essential to act in time.
Is Your Fire Water Supply Always Ready?
Unchecked water levels or closed valves can mean system failure — and costly non-compliance — when it matters most.
Slow to Catch Leaks at the Point of Use?
Leaks in restrooms or valves often go unseen. Without zone-based monitoring, water waste adds up silently.

FAQ
Q: Why is remote monitoring important for building water systems?
A: Traditional systems rely heavily on manual inspections, which can lead to data gaps and delayed responses. Remote IoT monitoring enables real-time alerts for issues like leaks, pressure drops, or abnormal usage. It also plays a crucial role in fire safety—by continuously monitoring water tank levels and pipe pressure in fire sprinkler or hydrant systems, it helps ensure adequate water supply in case of emergencies. This proactive approach prevents costly damage, enhances emergency preparedness, optimizes resource usage, and supports occupant safety and satisfaction.
Q: How can IoT solutions help reduce water waste and improve sustainability?
A: Smart sensors enable zone-based metering and leak detection, so facility teams can:
- Identify overuse or abnormal consumption by area.
- Automatically shut off valves when leaks occur.
- Generate data reports for ESG compliance which contributes directly to green building certifications and long-term cost savings.
Q: Will deploying these products affect the existing piping infrastructure or daily operations?
A: Most of our devices can be seamlessly integrated into existing water systems without major modifications. For example, the EM300-PP supports standard G 1/2” male threaded connections for easy pressure measurement on pipes. Additionally, our wireless LoRaWAN® sensors enable plug-and-play installation since they don't require power cables, minimizing installation complexity and operational disruption.
