Smart water monitoring — how it works and its limits
اقرأ Here is what this page is for بالعربية
A silent leak shows in the data before it shows on the wall: flow that never stops at night, a tank filling while the house sleeps, a pump running during quiet hours. Smart water monitoring receives these readings from simple devices in your home (with your explicit consent) and analyses them with explainable rules to give you an estimated probability of a leak with its reasons, and alerts you early.
What you need
A pulse reader on the meter or a flow sensor, and optionally a tank level sensor, a pump run monitor and a leak sensor. Realistic device details and detection limits are on the “what you really need” page.
How the data is analysed
- Minimum night flow: flow that never reaches zero in quiet hours.
- Filling without use: the float opens while consumption is zero.
- Level drop in quiet hours and pump running in quiet hours.
- Consumption versus a baseline for each hour of the week.
Signals are combined in a documented model that gives a probability and a readable reason, and you receive alerts at thresholds you choose.
Your data and rights
Connection is by explicit consent and the data is yours: you see it, export it and delete it from the my data and rights page. No valve is closed automatically; a smart valve only receives a notification.
Honest limits
- An estimate, not a diagnosis; confirmation is a technician visit.
- Detection quality depends on the device and installation: a meter with a large pulse does not see a small leak.
- Legitimate consumption (a running toilet, night irrigation) looks like a leak until ruled out.
- Works when the owner enables it and accepts your connection request.
Frequently asked questions
Does it need internet all the time?
Devices send readings over the network; an outage pauses analysis temporarily and loses nothing recorded before.
Do you buy the devices for me?
We point to suitable types and do not sell them; cost varies — ask for quotes.
On-site service is available in Saudi Arabia only. The online tools can be used anywhere.
We explain what the feature does and does not do. Estimated values (probabilities, indicators, estimates) support a decision and are not a final diagnosis; confirmation comes from an on-site inspection.
