Water Monitoring

Your water bill tells you what you’ve been charged. It doesn’t tell you what’s happening.

Most businesses only see their water consumption when a bill arrives.

By then, an unusual increase, continuous flow or leak may have been happening for weeks or even months.

Water monitoring gives you a much clearer view of what is happening between the bills.

BSUK can provide smart water monitoring solutions that capture regular consumption data, helping you identify unusual usage, potential leaks and areas where water may be being wasted.

Instead of simply reacting when the next bill arrives, you can see where attention may be needed sooner.

Don’t wait for the bill to tell you something is wrong

Water consumption can change without anyone immediately noticing.

A leak may not be obvious. A tap, toilet or piece of equipment may be using water continuously. Operating patterns can change. A site may simply be using more water than expected.

Monitoring can help identify:

Unusual increases in consumption
Continuous or out-of-hours water use
Potential leaks
High-usage periods that may need investigation
Changes in normal consumption patterns
Higher usage at particular sites or areas

Some systems can also provide alerts when unusual or high consumption is detected, giving you the opportunity to investigate before the next bill arrives.

The earlier you see something unusual, the sooner you can investigate it.

See what’s happening across your sites

For businesses with multiple properties, a water bill for each site doesn’t give you an easy way to compare performance.

Monitoring can bring consumption data together, giving you a clearer picture of:

Which sites are using the most water
Where consumption is changing
Which locations may need further investigation
Whether changes in operations are affecting usage
Where water-saving measures could make the biggest difference

Where appropriate, monitoring can also provide more detailed information from individual areas or parts of a water system.

That means you can focus attention where it is actually needed rather than treating every site the same.

From information to action

Monitoring doesn’t reduce water consumption by itself.

Its value is giving you the information to see a problem, investigate it and take action.

That could mean investigating a potential leak, changing an operating practice, addressing unnecessary consumption or identifying where a more detailed water efficiency review is worthwhile.

Combined with our FREE Water Efficiency Review, monitoring can help answer two important questions:

Are you being charged correctly – and are you using more water than you need to?

See the detail behind your water use

A smart monitoring system can collect regular consumption information from your water meter and make it available for analysis.

Depending on the site and requirements, data can be viewed across different time periods, including daily, weekly and monthly consumption, helping establish normal patterns and identify changes.

Monitoring can help highlight:

Unexpected increases in consumption
Continuous water flow
Out-of-hours usage
Potential leaks
High-usage periods
Changes in consumption over time
Differences between sites

Some systems can also provide alerts when unusual activity is detected.

What happens when monitoring identifies a problem?

Monitoring tells you that something has changed. The next step is investigation.

The information can help focus attention on what needs checking rather than searching the whole site without any indication of where the problem may be.

Where appropriate, this can then lead to further investigation or water-efficiency measures.

We’ll look at your site, existing metering and requirements before recommending the most appropriate monitoring approach.

The objective is simple: give you useful information that can help you control water consumption and identify problems earlier.

See more. Waste less. Act sooner.

If you don’t have regular visibility of your water consumption, you may not know what is happening between your bills.
