InWater - Clean Water Distribution

Brief page

This solution works fully in the app. Its complete documentation (hardware specifications, setup tutorial) is still on the way - what follows summarises the features available today.

InWater helps operators of clean-water distribution networks watch flow, detect leaks and control valves automatically.

Features

• Flow & leak detection - a per-zone leak verdict, Minimum Night Flow (MNF), reservoir level, water quality and historical trend, in one panel.
• MNF ranking - zones ranked by Minimum Night Flow, so the zone most worth inspecting first is obvious.
• Valve automation - schedules and thresholds that open and close valves on their own.
• Water alarms - every active alarm across the network.
• Leak-detection thresholds - configure the MNF thresholds the detection algorithm uses, adjustable per zone.

Why Minimum Night Flow?

MNF - the lowest flow during the quiet hours, usually the small hours of the morning - is a far more sensitive leak indicator than watching daily consumption. When almost nobody is drawing water, measured flow should be close to zero; flow that persists points at a leaking pipe.
