You're losing money right now. Possibly six figures a year. And you don't even know it.
The silent killer in your system? Undetected water leaks.
In commercial buildings or large industrial complexes, leaks don’t always gush.
They drip, slowly. Quietly, but consistently.
A single drip per second equals 3,000+ gallons per month. Multiply that across multiple locations, and you’re easily over 100,000 gallons per year.
That’s water you pay for but never use.
Mechanical meters don’t register ultra-low flow rates. Unless there's enough velocity, they stay silent. And unless you’re manually auditing usage daily, there’s no way to notice anomalies in real time.

Ultrasonic water meters have the capabilities to detect flow as low as 0.05 ft/sec. They’re also capable of sending alerts when unusual flow patterns are detected. Lastly, these alerts can enable predictive maintenance to occur before any trouble hits.
ROI Example: 100,000 gallons of water wasted per year multiplied by$0.0015 (1.5 cents per gallon is an estimated utility rate) yields $1,500/year.1 avoided water damage claim = $50,000+.Total savings vs your investment? Ultrasonic meters pay for themselves in months.
Leaks don’t wait for you to notice. By the time they show upon your ceiling, it’s already to late.
Measure better. Catch problems sooner. Save serious money.
