Main supply lines are the gateway for all water entering a facility — forming the backbone of water usage tracking. Yet, they're rarely monitored in real time.
Without precise metering at this critical point, teams lack visibility into total building consumption, making it difficult to spot inefficiencies, sudden usage spikes, or hidden issues that could hinder sustainability goals.

In most cases, installing a shutoff valve on the main feed is not recommended, as it could disrupt water access across the entire facility. However, this may be suitable for smaller or temporary construction projects.

Domestic cold water systems span nearly every area of a building — from restrooms and kitchens to HVAC units and appliances. As the most widespread and heavily used water network, they contain the highest number of pipes and fittings, making them especially prone to failure.

Because these systems are always pressurised and active, even minor faults can lead to significant water loss and damage. They also represent the largest share of a building's water use and waste. For example, a single running toilet can waste thousands of litres annually, costing money and adding to the Carbon Footprint.

Domestic hot water systems power showers, sinks, kitchens, and more — but they come with unique risks.
Operating under constant pressure and high temperatures, these systems are prone to accelerated pipe wear, making leaks both more likely and more damaging.

Their complexity adds to the challenge. With intricate plumbing layouts, detecting leaks becomes difficult and often requires specialised solutions.

Traditional detection methods often fall short. That's why WINT offers purpose-built tools designed specifically for domestic hot water systems — helping you prevent damage, reduce waste, and maintain efficiency.

HVAC chilled water systems circulate large volumes of water through extensive pipe networks — often left uninspected for years.

These systems move water at high flow rates — up to 10,000 litres per hour — through wide-diameter pipes that span thousands of metres and hold substantial water volumes.

When a pipe fails, pumps continue to push water at high pressure. Even after the supply is shut off, the stored water keeps leaking, leading to significant damage. The resulting losses can be severe, with costly repairs that may take weeks or even months to complete.

Low-temperature hot water (LTHW) systems quietly heat buildings through concealed pipes in walls, floors, and mechanical spaces — but they come with hidden risks.

Constant circulation and elevated temperatures accelerate corrosion, often leading to pinhole leaks that go unnoticed for months. These silent failures can cause water damage, drive up energy costs, degrade system performance, and ultimately lead to breakdowns — typically only discovered when heating fails or major damage has already occurred.

Sprinklers and hydrants: essential fire protection, hidden water risk

Fire suppression systems like sprinklers and hydrants are vital for safety — but if triggered accidentally, they can cause extensive water damage. Ageing, pressurised pipes are prone to micro-leaks, which can suddenly escalate into full-scale flow when booster pumps activate.

Because regulations prevent automatic shutoff valves on fire lines, early detection is the only defence. Yet micro-leaks are slow and subtle, making them difficult to detect with standard tools. That's why WINT offers high-sensitivity solutions designed specifically to identify these hidden risks before they become costly problems.
