Our Investigation
One of the trade branches for Travis Perkins had above-average water bills and the branch manager was searching for ways to reduce it.
Using LeakNet, they could see their monthly consumption rate which allowed them to check if they were being charged the correct amount in their bills.
Outcome
One year after installation, a leak alert was raised, identifying abnormal usage of 8 litres per minute ongoing for 40 minutes. This was wasted water pouring down the pan at a rate of just over £10,000 per year!
The manager was alerted automatically and, using the information given, was able to quickly find that the flush in a toilet cistern was broken. After fixing this, he was able to prove the matter was successfully resolved using the real-time graph in FlowReporter.
Take away
Continuous monitoring, coupled with automated alerts, is by far the best way to spot problems, minimise waste and keep bills low.
Travis Perkins could have potentially been wasting £10,000 per year without our system.
