What is Water Efficiency & Why is it a Critical Business Strategy?
Water Efficiency & Loss Prevention is a comprehensive strategy that uses accurate data and smart analytics to find leaks, reduce unnecessary consumption, ensure accurate billing, and optimize overall water use. For businesses in South Africa, it has become an essential practice to reduce significant operational costs, mitigate major financial risks, and meet critical sustainability goals.
Localized Insight: As municipal water tariffs in South Africa grow more complex with tiered pricing and seasonal demand charges, understanding your true water cost is nearly impossible with a utility bill alone. Our platform provides the instant clarity needed to effectively manage these complex costs and ensure you are on the most economical tariff.
Reduce Operational Costs & Prevent Financial Shocks
Our solution directly lowers your expenses by identifying opportunities to decrease water purchases and the associated pumping energy costs. By proactively finding both major leaks and systemic billing errors, we protect your budget from sudden financial shocks, including the risk of 36-month back-claims from suppliers for historical under-billing.
Mitigate Property Damage & Ensure Sustainability
Undetected leaks can lead to catastrophic and expensive property damage. Our real-time monitoring and alerting system is your first line of defense. Furthermore, the verifiable data from our platform provides the credible, auditable records for reporting needed to support your ESG goals and build a stronger corporate reputation.

System Integrity Monitoring
Protect your core infrastructure by monitoring its "vital signs." We track Water Level, Pressure, and Flow in real-time to detect leaks, pump failures, and other critical risks.
Water Level (m)
Monitor tanks and reservoirs to ensure security of supply.
Water Pressure (bar)
Detect major leaks or pump failures from pressure drops.
Water Flow (kL/h)
Identify unexpected usage or pipe bursts instantly.
Strategic Resource Optimisation
For sites with multiple water sources (e.g., municipal, borehole, rainwater), our platform provides the data needed to make intelligent decisions and prioritize the most cost-effective or resilient water source at any given time.
How Our Platform Makes it Simple
We turn complex data into straightforward, automated actions in a simple, 4-step process.
Measure with Precision
We deploy advanced, independent sensors for flow, pressure, and level at critical points in your infrastructure to capture a reliable, real-time picture of your water network.
Analyze & Visualize
All data is fed to the Augos platform, where it is instantly visualized on dashboards and used to power our financial and operational analysis tools.
Receive Intelligent Alerts
Our platform acts as a 24/7 watchdog. When a rule you've defined is broken—like a sudden high flow or a pressure drop—an instant alert is sent to the right people on your team.
Control Your Infrastructure (Optional)
Close the loop by connecting your equipment. The platform can remotely and automatically manage your on-site equipment, such as shutting off a valve when a leak is detected or turning on a pump when a tank is low.
