Water

Follow water consumption meter by meter, compare periods, and use the accumulated view against a reference year to catch leaks early.

The water module works much like energy, but water has a particular characteristic: a leak looks like a small, steady increase rather than a dramatic spike. The views are built around catching exactly that.

Water consumption

Shows consumption per meter for the selected period, as a graph or a table, with total consumption and average per hour. Each meter is colour-coded, which is what makes an abnormal meter stand out from a page of normal ones without reading any numbers.

Average per hour is the number to watch for leaks. Consumption that never returns to near zero overnight, in a building nobody occupies overnight, is the classic signature.

Water hierarchy

Shows how meters relate to each other β€” main meter and sub-meters. This is how you narrow a rise in total consumption down to the part of the building responsible for it.

Water comparison

Puts the selected period against another period so you can see the difference rather than the level, in the same way as energy comparison.

Accumulated water

Plots consumption accumulated across the year against previous years β€” this year, last year, two years ago, three years ago β€” and against a chosen reference year. You can add a target curve and reference lines. Because the curve only ever rises, a change in its slope is easy to spot, which makes this the best view for confirming that a leak has actually been fixed.

Notes and export

Notes can be shown alongside the graph, so an explanation for an unusual period stays attached to the data. Any view can be downloaded as an Excel file.

Good to know

  • If an export fails, retry it β€” the data itself is unaffected.
  • Water meters are often read less frequently than energy meters, so a flat recent period may mean "not yet read" rather than "no consumption".
