What is it?

__________________

Water consumption across a metered system should be able to be accounted for.

Where multiple water meters are available, consumption at different points can be compared to identify differences between the water entering a system and the consumption being measured downstream.

Quasar can configure custom calculation frameworks within Power Monitoring Expert to calculate this unaccounted water consumption. By continuously monitoring the difference, unusual consumption can be identified and used to provide earlier indication of a potential leak or burst pipe.

Example in Practice

A customer wanted greater visibility of their water consumption and an automatic indication when water within the monitored system could not be accounted for.

Quasar developed a custom consumption framework to mathematically compare water consumption across available metering points and calculate the difference between them.

This unaccounted consumption can then be monitored to provide earlier indication of a potential leak or burst pipe.Where sufficient metering is available across the system, the data can also help narrow the area requiring investigation, allowing maintenance teams to focus their attention more effectively.
