Leak detection is a necessary and vital component to water distribution systems worldwide. Accurate determination of the position of leaking water pipes within a supply system and subsequent repair serves to save revenue and conserve water as well as energy. Water that is lost after treatment and pressurization, but before delivery to customers, is money and energy wasted.
The methodology for conducting a leak detection survey involves a primary survey and a secondary survey. The primary survey investigates a predetermined section of the distribution system. The secondary survey pinpoints or discounts potential leakage spots identified during the primary survey. This is a very time consuming process because the survey team must make sure to systematically check every line of the supply system. Stone Plumbing and Heating is the first fully-automated water leak detection system that integrates micro-chip controlled sensors and an active shut-off valve to provide peace-of-mind. |
