Leak Detection
Your business can save lots of water and money by paying close attention to your water meter and for warning signs of possible leaks
Your water meter can be a valuable partner when it comes to leak detection at your business. Once the obviously visible leaks have been repaired, hidden leaks can be uncovered by watching your water meter dial when all water has been turned off. GRU meters can be read to tenths of a gallon. Simply watch the triangle or the large sweeping hand on the meter's face. A movement of one tenth of a gallon every five minutes means that you are losing 868 gallons a month! Below are some basic tips for finding leaks:
- Look around for extra green or soggy grass patches
- Look for stained carpet, flooring, or walls
- Inspect water closets daily, including sloan valves, floats and ballcocks
- Inspect faucet and hose connections, both inside and out
- Pay close attention to water pressure levels for any fluctuations
