VivoAquatics Launches Water Usage Platform to Provide Critical Monitoring and Leak Detection

Leading water management solution company VivoAquatics has launched a new smart water usage and leak detection platform to help facilities and portfolios meet corporate conservation targets while reducing the risks and costs associated with leaks. Through the integration of water meters, sensors and software, the new platform monitors water across all core facility functions including main lines, cooling towers, irrigation, kitchen, pools & spa and other core areas.   

Using the platform, properties and portfolios will be able to create baseline usage targets, benchmark water use and costs and receive alerts of leaks or excessive water usage due to operational errors. This tool identifies where a water leak is located by using an IoT sensor to provide accurate and timely data for facility managers and engineers.  

“Our cutting-edge cloud-based technology revolutionizes water management by pairing sensors and tools for data analysis in one platform,” said Richard Lindhorn, vice president of VivoAquatics. “Water management hits all major pain points for facility engineers – water safety, conservation, compliance and cost. This new platform—now part of VivoPoint— ensures proactive risk mitigation of leaks and seamless compliance with regulatory standards. With real-time insights, properties can stay vigilant, proactive and primed to address any facility concerns promptly. Moreover, facilities can now cost effectively set and track benchmarks.” 

The new platform uses a secure wireless cellular gateway to connect to water meter sensors to gather information on a real-time basis. The data is then integrated into the industry-leading VivoPoint application to allow for instant review, predictive analytics and identification of areas of improvement or optimization for the property. The benefits are substantial as water loss generates increased costs of water, chemical treatment, energy usage, structural damage, litigation and more. 

The advancement comes shortly after VivoAquatics launched Blu, an artificial intelligence solution programmed to deliver timely, in-depth and personalized guidance for addressing both routine and intricate challenges in managing water across a facility, whether it be troubleshooting a water chemistry issue with a swimming pool or evaluating an underground leak. 

VivoAquatics provides smart, water solutions for many of the world’s leading hospitality, real estate, fitness and REIT brands including Hilton, MGM Resorts International, Omni Hotels, Aman, Westgate Resorts, In-Shape Fitness, The Irvine Company, Marriott Vacation Worldwide, Marriott International and many more.
