Acoustic Leak Detection, Built In
Kamstrup’s flowIQ® meters are the only water meters with embedded Acoustic Leak Detection (ALD), transforming everyday metering infrastructure into a continuous leak monitoring system. Leak Diaries is where technology meets the real world: a collection of true stories from utilities that are shifting their approach to water loss from reactive response to proactive detection.
Built-In. Not Bolted On.
Kamstrup Acoustic Leak Detection works through the meter’s existing ultrasonic sensors—no additional hardware, no extra batteries. That simplicity preserves the meter’s full 20-year battery life while delivering reliable leak insight.
Distribution Side Leak Detection Built into Every Meter
Kamstrup flowIQ® meters deliver infrastructure intelligence where utilities need it most. Every flowIQ® meter (2” and below) includes built-in Acoustic Leak Detection (ALD), listening within the water column to identify leaks across the distribution system—not just on the customer side.
Hear Leaks Across Pipe Materials
By listening inside the water column, Kamstrup Acoustic Leak Detection captures leak signatures where sound travels best. The result is reliable detection across pipe materials—including PVC—and the ability to hear leaks over greater distances throughout the distribution system.
Built for 20 Years of Insight
Kamstrup’s commitment to longevity starts with intelligent power management. By leveraging the meter’s existing ultrasonic sensors, Acoustic Leak Detection delivers continuous leak insights without additional hardware, batteries, or power drain—preserving the meter’s full 20-year battery life.
The Meter That Sees More
Meet the flowIQ® 2200—an ultrasonic water meter engineered for accuracy, efficiency, and insight. With industry-leading low-flow detection starting at 0.008 GPM, it improves billing precision while helping utilities identify leaks sooner. Built-in Acoustic Leak Detection (ALD) and non-revenue water analytics transform every meter into a source of actionable infrastructure intelligence. Hermetically sealed (IP68) and powered by a 20-year battery, the flowIQ® 2200 is designed to perform reliably for decades.
