Depths Of Druck's Experience Prevents Leaks For Water Authorities

Faced with the challenge of detecting small leaks across 46,000 kilometers of pipe, a UK Water Authority partnered with a data logger manufacturer to improve pressure monitoring in its vast water distribution network. The goal was to develop a reliable, cost-effective system that could identify pressure drops early—helping prevent costly water loss and catastrophic pipe failures. Enter Druck, whose DPS503D digital pressure sensors provided the precision and resilience the project demanded.

Built on the trusted DPS5000 series, the DPS503D offers high-resolution pressure readings, low power consumption, and exceptional stability—all vital for long-term underground installations prone to flooding. Its digital compensation technology ensures superior accuracy, while rugged construction allows it to withstand harsh, submersed environments. Critically, the sensor's efficiency extends service intervals, lowering maintenance costs over time.

By integrating Druck’s sensor, the data logger supplier reduced product variation, inventory complexity, and time to market. Most importantly, the Water Authority gained a reliable, cost-effective solution that flags minor leaks before they escalate, reducing water loss and avoiding emergency repairs. Druck’s innovation demonstrates how smart sensor technology can drive proactive infrastructure management in the water sector.
