We have a simple rule of thumb at i2O – leakage is proportional to pressure. That means that a 20% reduction in pressure is likely to reduce leakage by 20%. And we know water leakage is an expensive problem, either due to the cost/scarcity of water or the risk of fines and negative PR through missed leakage targets.

i2O has worked with dozens of water companies to reduce water leakage by as much as 30%, and then continue to drive it down with continuous, automated optimisation.

Our CTO Andrew Burrows describes how i2O’s solutions help water companies minimise water leakage:

Advanced Pressure Management from i2O allows water companies to decrease water leakage by optimising pressure. Unlike a simple PRV with a fixed outlet, our solution adjusts pressure smoothly in response to real-time network conditions always maintaining the minimum level of service at the critical point. In other words, you won’t solve your leakage problem by creating problems for your customers.

Many water companies around the world have used i2O solutions to reduce their water leakage. Read some of their stories.
