SWAES Water Monitoring
Why Monitor Water
SWAES Water Monitoring solutions utilise cutting-edge technology to provide real-time data and analytics on your water consumption. Our systems can be customised to monitor individual fixtures, specific zones, or your entire water network. This granular level of detail enables you to detect and locate leaks swiftly, minimising water loss and preventing costly damage. You can also identify inefficient fixtures, allowing you to target wasteful taps, showers, toilets, and urinals for replacement or optimisation. Furthermore, you can track water usage trends, gaining valuable insights to inform water management strategies and sustainability initiatives. With a proven track record of delivering rapid ROI, SWAES Water Monitoring systems are typically funded through operational expenditure, ensuring a sustainable and cost-effective approach to water management.

SWAES HVAC Water Quality Monitoring
Why Monitor HVAC Water Quality
SWAES Water Quality Monitoring solutions lead the way in continuous, smart water quality monitoring. The ultra-low power, intelligent digital sensor technology offers sustainable solutions, delivering proactive analysis and safeguarding water quality.
Measuring water quality, including biocides, is required to reduce the risk of failure on-site, which can lead to enormous costs for
repair, replacement and downtime if the part of the system suffers from corrosion. ​
-
Water quality within your HVAC system plays a crucial role in its efficiency. Unchecked water quality can lead to scaling, corrosion, and decreased heat transfer, resulting in energy losses exceeding 30% of the system's annual running costs.
-
Dissolved Oxygen – Monitoring oxygen levels is vital to reduce the risk of corrosion.
-
pH – Monitoring pH gives information on the chemistry within the pipework, such as bug secretion, aluminium levels, and other inhibitor/biocide and scavenger chemicals.
Changes in pH can show issues with additives. *Note no inhibitors based on zero conductivity when VDI 2035 implemented – Real-time pH level monitoring critical -
Conductivity – A drop in conductivity can demonstrate a leak. It can also highlight issues with chemicals being dosed or not.
-
Pressure – If the pressure is anything but positive, it can demonstrate a leak in the system.
-
Turbidity – Levels of biofilm and solids can be measured. This can show corrosion and/or biofilm that can contain bacteria.
-
Biocides – CLO2, CL2, O3, Br, H2O2 or PAA
measuring can assist with monitoring for
reducing bacteria, including Legionella
