Water Consumption Monitoring

See where and when water is used in your facility. Fetrion water monitoring solution; It provides measurement infrastructure for the water management activities of the business with meter data, consumption comparisons and water balance screens.

Water consumption monitoring system system components

Meter based consumption and water balance

The main meter and submetering points are considered together to evaluate the distribution of water within the facility. Separate monitoring of usage points such as kitchens, laundry rooms, accommodation areas or irrigation lines makes it easier to investigate the source of change in consumption. The measurement scope is determined according to the existing meter infrastructure.

Risk of unexpected consumption and leakage

Consumption outside working hours or increases above normal usage may indicate situations that need to be investigated. Warning thresholds are defined according to the usage pattern of the business. Consumption data alone does not accurately diagnose leakage; It is evaluated together with the controls in the field.

Consumption per guest-night

Evaluating total consumption in hotels together with occupancy provides more meaningful comparisons. For example, dividing the amount of liters used for the same period by the number of guest-nights shows the water consumption per unit stay. Data periods and units must be the same in the calculation.

Measurement support for ISO 46001

Regular consumption records and reports help monitor water efficiency targets. Water monitoring software supports the measurement side of a management system; It does not imply ISO 46001 certification or warranty of conformity.

Necessary information for your project

Share your facility type, existing water meters, measurement points, meter communication options and reporting expectations. The areas to be monitored and the scope of integration are evaluated based on this information. You can view sample consumption and water balance screens in the encrypted water monitoring demo.

Accurate measurement in smart meter integration

Pulse output and communication interface

In meters with pulse output, the liter/pulse or m³/pulse coefficient and the first index are defined correctly. In digital meters, the interface, Modbus register map, data type and scaling are checked. Resetting, meter changing and overflow situations are also handled separately in the periodic consumption calculation.

Water balance and unexpected flow

Comparing the main meter and sub-meters within the same time period makes sense of the consumption distribution. Meter resolution, unmetered usage points and tank fills can affect the difference. Increased night flow is a warning that requires field investigation; It is not a definitive leak diagnosis on its own.

Technical questions and answers

Can existing water meters be used?

The scope of integration is determined by examining the meter model, output type and communication infrastructure.

Does the water monitoring demo contain real plant data?

No. Demo screens work with sample data and require the existing demo username and password.

Can a pulse water meter be connected to automation?

It can be connected via suitable pulse input equipment. The meter pulse coefficient, electrical type of output, cable conditions and counting capacity should be verified. The starting index is mapped to the physical counter.

Is the difference between the main meter and the submeter always a leak?

No. Difference; It may also be caused by unmetered line, tank level change, different recording times or meter error. Water balance should be established in the same period and unit, and suspicious points should be examined by field control.

Does the water monitoring system provide ISO 46001 certification?

No. Regular measurement and reporting supports the water efficiency management system. ISO 46001 certification; It is a separate study that includes scope, objectives, operating processes and independent evaluation.

What is Water Monitoring?

Water consumption monitoring; It makes the water usage of the business visible by associating meter data with time and usage area. The main meter shows the total consumption, and the sub-meters show the share of selected sections. The aim is not just to record the total figure but to identify changes to investigate.

Are water consumption and water flow the same thing?

No. Consumption is the volume used in a period; Flow rate refers to the volume flowing per unit time. It should be checked which data the measuring device gives.

Does water monitoring measure water quality?

Consumption measurement does not provide this. Quality measurement requires different parameters, devices and evaluations.
