The monitoring of networks using SOFREL data loggers plays a key role in improving the performance of water distribution systems. These tools provide precise diagnostic and analysis capabilities. They collect daily readings from meters and flowmeters, perform regular pressure measurements in pipelines (via a pressure sensor), record the data, compile reports, and transmit them to central systems. This information enables operators to quickly detect pressure anomalies and leaks in the network.
In-depth analysis of the collected data (daily volumes, maximum flow rates, night flow rates) over extended periods helps evaluate network performance and identify underperforming areas. This approach not only facilitates the creation of reliable consumption reports but also pinpoints the sectors most prone to leaks. By reducing water losses, decreasing non-revenue water, and streamlining infrastructure management, SOFREL data loggers become indispensable tools for ensuring efficient, cost-effective, and sustainable water distribution while preserving natural resources.

DMA Monitoring and optimization of the performance of drinking water distribution networks

Remote readings of “major consumer” and interconnection meters
So-called “major consumer” customers have a strong influence on the distribution network. Remote reading and reckoning of their consumption levels is thus needed to carry out network diagnostics. Similarly, interconnection meters can be regularly read for billing between networks.
SOFREL data loggers record the volume of water flowing through the pipes 24/7 and transmit consumption reports to the central stations.

District metering of water networks and leak detection
Preserving water resources, monitoring volumes flowing through networks, locating leaks, making savings, and reducing unbilled water volumes are some of the daily concerns of contract operators. Network district metering offers an effective solution to this permanent challenge.
SOFREL data loggers offer many innovative solutions for leak detection and play an important role in improving the performance of water networks…

Dynamic pressure management to improve service quality
Correct water distribution network management is a delicate operation for any water operator. Maintaining optimum pressure at all points of the network, offering satisfactory quality of service for water users, preserving time-weakened pipes and spurs against pressure spikes, are difficult duties to reconcile.
SOFREL Data Loggers offer effective solutions for meeting all of these challenges…
Monitoring and optimization of water distribution network performance
The 24/7 monitoring of water distribution networks, combined with the in-depth analysis of data collected by SOFREL data loggers, is an essential lever for ensuring service quality, optimizing efficiency, detecting leaks, and reducing unbilled water volumes. By providing tools tailored to the needs of operators, these solutions help control costs, preserve resources, and address the growing challenges of sustainable water management.
