Badger Meter’s acoustic monitoring solutions help utilities proactively detect leaks, monitor pressure events, and gain greater visibility into distribution system performance. Products such as the HWM® PermaNET+ Leak Noise Logger, HWM® PermaNeET SU, and PIPEMINDER-ONE® data loggers provide continuous monitoring of underground infrastructure, enabling faster leak identification, reduced water loss, and improved system reliability. By delivering real-time data and actionable insights, these solutions help utilities optimize maintenance efforts, minimize disruptions, and protect valuable water resources.
PermaNet+ detects acoustic signatures from running water, triggering immediate leak notifications and providing high-quality acoustic recordings. Combining our high-performance leak noise sensor and ComLog 2 data logger, this battery-powered system is built for long-term deployment. Advanced data insights powered by Al processing remove false positives and correlate the leak position
Once installed, leak data is transmitted and analysed using the proven Permalog algorithm, PermaNet Web and the latest developments in Al technology. PermaNet+ transmits data through an integral modem with
GPRS/2G, 4G, LTE-M (Cat-1) and NBIoT. PermaNet+ allows leakage teams to monitor the status of each deployed logger from Google Maps
compatible software using any internet enabled device. Leaks are identified immediately and once the presence of a leak has been identified, secondary measures including Al can be used to check and remove ‘false positives’ and correlate the leak position.
Quick response: enables leakage teams to respond quickly to specific locations when a leak is detected.
Telemetry: multiple telemetry options including 4G, LTE and NBIoT.
Satellite time synchronisation option: for precise correlation and leak pinpointing.
Fully waterproof: the IP68 rating has been tested at 10m depth over a 24 hour period.
Easy to use: compatible with the HWM Global Deployment app and can also be programmed through PermaNet Web
External antennas: support improved signal strength
PermaNET SU is an innovative correlating noise logger that combines a leak noise sensor with our
advanced modem (capable of connecting via LTE-M or NBIoT with 2G fallback, 4G or 2G) for reliable
and low-powered network monitoring.
Designed specifically for smaller and more challenging installation areas, PermaNET SU is robust
and durable.
PermaNET SU is fully compatible with PermaNET Web, the online data viewing and analysis
platform, combining to provide map-based display, GIS interface and full audio and correlation
facilities.
Once installed, leak data is calculated using the proven Permalog algorithm, and data is transmitted via low cost cellular telemetry. This removes the requirement for expensive site visits and “drive by” data retrieval.
PermaNeET SU transmits data through an integral modem with 2G, 4G, LTE-M (Cat-M1) and other NBIoT cellular options available. PermaNET SU allows leakage teams to monitor the status of each logger deployed from map-based host software using any internet enabled device. Leaks are identified immediately and once the presence of a leak has been identified, secondary measures can be used to check and remove ‘false positives’ and also to localise the leak position.
Telemetry: NBIOT/LTE-M based cellular communication as standard with fallback 2G capability.
Sensor detection indicator: daily check to confirm no sensor movement: alarm if a movement is detected.
Single compact unit: combines leak noise sensor and telemetry technology into a single compact unit.
Robust and durable: designed specifically for smaller and more challenging installation areas.
Quick response: enables leakage teams to respond quickly to specific locations when a leak is detected.
Combines acoustic and pressure monitoring to deliver accurate leak detection alongside
high-resolution pressure analysis. Two ways to reduce non-revenue water loss. One simple system.
Continuous, Accurate Leak Detection.
Automatic leak detection alarms identify the area of interest, based on analysis of regular, ongoing acoustic correlations from the integrated hydrophone.
Leak Reduction through Data-led Network Calming.
Reporting high-resolution pressure data at 128 samples per second enables our intelligent pressure transient insights, including pressure waveform classification, event source triangulation, and smart event alarms.
Alert and Locate Breaks and Harmful Pressure Events.
Immediate email and SMS alerts, alongside alarm exports to your operational platforms, inform you of critical events.
Compact for Flexible Installation.
Compact size allows for flexible installations into existing hydrants and chambers.
High/Low Pressure Alarms.
Receive instant alerts when pressure values go above or below-desired limits, and optionally report more frequent data when they do for deeper insights when it matters most.
Leak Reduction through Data-led Network Calming.
Reporting high-resolution pressure data at 128 samples per second enables our intelligent pressure transient insights, including pressure waveform classification, event source triangulation and smart event alarms.
Alert and Locate Breaks and Harmful Pressure Events.
Immediate email and SMS alerts, alongside alarm exports to your operational platforms, inform you of critical events.
Combined Water Quality and Pressure.
Connected water quality sensors can be reported in sync with pressure data and events, providing deep insights into potentially harmful network behavior.
Designed for Direct, Secure Hydrant Installation.
Designed to install directly onto hydrants, the secure and compact IP68-rated body, including internal rechargeable batteries, allows for fast, flexible, and reliable deployments.
High-Resolution Pressure & Precision Timing.
PIPEMINDER-ONE Hydrant contains a highly precise 20 bar pressure sensor, sampling at 128 times a second, alongside precision network timestamping for unparalleled data accuracy.
Pressure Waveform Classification.
Automatically compare the shape of transient waveforms to classify similar and repeated events together, helping you distinguish important and unusual events from normal operations.
Network Monitoring.
Combine imported water quality data with pressure monitoring measurements to get a holistic view of a water distribution network and identify harmful contamination events.
