For Brian. It's some kind of sensor that seem to detect a leak and send you an alert on your phone. How come it doesn't treat all water usage as a leak, including when you are having... a leak ? Andrew |

A few weeks ago, two blokes wearing Souther Water fluorescent jackets were lifting a selection of water meter covers where I live and dropped little metal capsules into them on top of the meter. Being nosy I went out to find out what they were doing. The little capsules were for detecting leaks apparently, which they checked after retrieving them a few days later. |

Andrew They probably listen to the noise from flowing water, the flow will not normally be continuous, unless there is a continuous leakage. Another way would be to listen to the tick of a water meter, which should stop completely for long periods of no water use. |

I have never heard of one before. I have. The local council said they would be doing it. I guess they would only be able to do so if all taps are off. Nope, the other approach is to check if it never goes to zero, if it doesn’t, there must be a leak. "Andrew" wrote in message ... https://leakbot.io/ For Brian.
