Sean and the developer initially suspected a leak but could not find any visible signs within the water distribution system.
Despite their thorough inspections, the culprit could not be found. This uncertainty led Sean to seek further assistance. “I reached out to the company that designed and built our well system and had them come out and do a service inspection,” he said. However, their inspection showed no issues with the pumps or electrical components. “The voltages checked out, all the averages were in spec when [they were] running,” he recalled. The problem remained unresolved.
Sean made a pivotal decision. He had the NightOwl Monitoring and Control System installed on the community well. “The problem was obvious as soon as we started collecting data; we definitely had a leak in our distribution system,” Sean said. Armed with crucial water well data analytics, the team located and fixed the leak. “Within 30 days, our utility costs were back within their historical averages,” he added.
“I really love that it monitors the aquifer level in our well,” Sean noted. “Everybody’s talking about the drought, and that makes me worried about the security of our water supply. Now, with the NightOwl system, I know the water level in our well every minute of every day. I even have an alarm set up, so I get notified if the level drops too much.”
The NightOwl advanced water well monitoring solution not only safeguarded the community’s water supply but also protected their investment in the well system’s equipment. Sean now has peace of mind knowing that any issues with their water system will be promptly detected and addressed. “I know that if something’s wrong, we’re going to know right away,” Sean noted.
With NightOwl system, Sean and his community have immediate access to:
- Accurate Leak Detection: With real-time well monitoring, quick identification and resolution of leaks will prevent unexpected bills and water loss.
- Aquifer Level Monitoring: Groundwater monitoring technology combined with well-maintenance alerts, including an alarm when the level drops below a user-specified threshold, will alleviate concerns about drought and water supply security.
- Power Supply Monitoring: The pump monitoring system detects power anomalies, which will help preserve the integrity of expensive pumps and avoid costly damages and warranty claim denials.
